You can have a CBT on one pole serving properties which are reached via intermediate poles.

Yeah, that's what I meant. Sorry if my post wasn't clear.

Not quite sure what you are getting at. A DP can serve a fair number of premises, each house does not have its own exclusive DP.

The CBT serving my place is a 4-port unit, but I'm aware that CBT's range in size from 4 ports up to 12 ports.

To the best of my knowledge on Openreach CBT's at least, there is no optical splitting inside the CBT, the ports within the CBT have individual fibres spliced back to a DP which I believe does have a 1:n optical splitter in the trays.

Can any Openreach folk provide any more detail?

gimers that probably because you on the same DP as the premise up the road and in distance for the CBT (the small new build will not be on any systems will no be on the premises on the contract or in the build scope and will be left behind)

Yes, no splitters in the CBT.

No splitters in the DP nodes either.

There IS splitter(s) in the splitter node though. Suspect you knew that though.

I think you have previously said that not all ports are necessary lit on a CBT so even if its a 8 port CBT there could be say 6 ports lit. I'm assuming this is still the case?

Well, I know for a fact that our line comes off a pole that doesn't have a CBT on it.

Yep.

As I said before, the drop cable can be strung between multiple poles until it reaches the pole with the CBT.

I suspect your nearest pole doesn't have a "DP" label on it. If it does, then it's a copper DP, but the fibre topology doesn't have to match the copper one.

Let OR know about the new half dozen properties and that they are empty at present. They may decide to cover them as well at their own cost, ( may be little different from the total anyway and to their long term benefit).

Just include x unoccupied new builds with their addresses as an appendix with the suggestion they include them for future proofing.
