4fibre Multiple ISPs in one cable install technical query


[link to this post]
 
Has anyone had an installation using the 4fibre system for housing blocks where 4 ISPs are provided to your flat via one cable.

See https://www.sccigroup.com/4fibre

I would like to know more about the connection into each flat, and how to extend the fibre if one does not want the ONT/Router etc installed at the point of entry. I know people could have it installed at the point of entry and run internal ethernet to anywhere they like, but I would like to have all equipment such as ONT etc located where I can provide backup power (my home office), and not where the cable will come into the building (living room).

As I have not been able to locate a picture of the faceplate, I do not know if it breaks out into 4 connectors or not, and what type of fibre connectors those are.

I've seen plenty of multicore fibres in my time, but this is the first I've heard about property developers running them in to enable a multiple AltNet service to each flat/apartment.

Makes sense I suppose, as long as they can reach agreement with the various AltNets / telco operators that they are happy to use someone else's fibre for the last leg in the connection.

Yes you would need a connector per Altnet/Telco service - as its a separate "pipe" connected to their respective physical network. There is no optical/wavelength multiplexing going on.

[In the early days of Openreach FTTP (like 10+ years ago) they used to blow a multi-fibre bundle to premises, and typically just use one fibre core - but that was always purely just for BT/Openreach to use. Not for any one else to utilise.]
