I've seen both Cityfibre and Gigaclear cabinets: they are passive, unpowered cabinets. I don't know what Zzoom do.

The Gigaclear cabinet that I am connected to is certainly powered.

Am certainly no expert on their network, but it would stand to reason that some Gigaclear cabinets (possibly further upstream) are powered to support ethernet active gear such as these IP-MSAN units from DZS:

Other cabinets further downstream (closer to the customer) may be passive junctions for splices or aggregation style nodes

You're making huge assumptions.

I bet you're 1 of the idiots that approaches people in supermarkets due not having a mask on.

Visiting a friend does not necessarily mean a rule breach. It's rude of you to assume it is.
There are different rules in the 4 Nations of the UK. They aren't all the same as England and it's ignorant to assume otherwise.

I visit my friend every 2nd day.
He's shielding. As he lives alone he's allowed to join my bubble. That's exactly what we've done.
Twice I've had comments when entering his house by self righteous [censored] like yourself who need to mind their own business.

Do you have to be so nasty? Everyone knows Adrian is in England not Scotland like your good self.

You need to check your covid rules. Similar bubbles are permitted in England.

Still doesn't change the fact that you are being nasty for no good reason

You know you aren't suppose to quote other peoples posts and change the wording in them to mean something totally different.

You may know your Broadband stuff j0hn83 but you are a [censored] [censored]

The Gigaclear box I have at home is made by a company called Genexis. It uses a proprietary protocol to communicate to the cabinet which I assume contains equipment made by the same company.

Looks like they make just the premises side network termination gear:

What’s the model of the box?

The street cabinet may or may not contain powered equipment. It could just be where cables are joined or spliced, or where cables are connected to passive splitters.

There are big incentives to avoid powered equipment outside of the headend POP. There's the ongoing cost of maintaining a powered connection, and of periodic safety maintenance, and the higher risk of outage.

Looks like a green Openreach cabinet. How can you tell if its OR or CityFibre? Do CF 'brand' their cabinets?
