Re: Which is the virgin street cabinet?
Thanks Seph, so basically it's just a big splitter inside... I just wanted to be sure that it's not some sort of picocell.
And you're right, there are no telephone poles in the street. |
Re: Which is the virgin street cabinet?
A picocell wouldn't have a BT logo on it or multiple cables coming out of it. They look more like this:

Re: Which is the virgin street cabinet?
Just out of interest, what is the dark green cabinet on the left in the below link? I know the one on the right is a Virgin cabinet.

Re: Which is the virgin street cabinet?
It's difficult to see on the photo through lack of contrast. if you can take your own phot in the right light conditions ....
Normally VM have a street cabinet in front of which is a pit cover marked CATV. If it's a 5 foot tall and wide humming cabinet next to it with CATV on the pit cover, then it could be a Virgin telephone cabinet. The optical nodes, with 240V lable on the front, are not usually next to a coax street cabinet except in densely populated areas where both sets of 48 tap points are needed. BT usually site their Infinity cabinets immediately adjacent their telephone cabinets. But as you're sure the one on the right is VM .... |
Re: Which is the virgin street cabinet?
Thanks Sephiroth. Its definetly not a BT Infinity Cabinet as our exchange hasn't been done yet.

Re: Which is the virgin street cabinet?
OK the big Cabinet everyone is confused about is a MUX + Telephone Switchboard. inside there are About 600 diffrent lines for use with phone
Also 6x 12V batterys incase of power cut And fiber optic feed which feeds the nodes. and it does belong to virgin |
