[link to this post] 		 
Anyone know the thickness/diameter of the current Openreach FTTP "inside out" cable.

Might vary slightly by brand, but around 5mm

Example that is doubled ended (although as you know OR use SC/APC single ended from CSP, pulled from inside to out)

I was think possibly around 3mm as I didn't think the Openreach inside out cable had an outer sheathing.

That Ultima cable is actually 2.9mm inner (white) sheath / 4.5mm outer (black) sheath, with +/- 0.45mm tolerance on the spec sheet.

Inside/out cable shown in FTTP vid here.

The caps for either end require a 12mm drill bit …. then the tube passes through easily
