looks like the base for a virgin media DSA shd/mux cab [telephones]

Re: Does this belong to Virgin Media as someone has claimed?
 

Yea. The one on the right is the hfc fibre node. The telco cabs come prebuilt with all kit on so the base is installed then power, then the cab with kit is lifted on the same day the power is done I believe

So the yellow covers just a temp cover until the rest of the cabs moves into place?

Re: Does this belong to Virgin Media as someone has claimed?
 

Yea. I would imagine to stop people tripping and prevent the ducting filling with water

Somes idiots no doubt tripped over this already lol.

What's the purpose of the hole in the end of the cover?

Re: Does this belong to Virgin Media as someone has claimed?
 

Either to let rats in or for lifting. Haha. I have absolutely no idea what it's for, I've never seen one of these cabs being installed, I just know how they are installed!

Just a cab root cover, to stop any future personal injury claimants. Which in slaithwaite i'm sure there would be plenty.

Do you know the area Pierre?

Thanks to everybody for sorting out this mystery.

This is a root base cover for the VMT1 cabinet chassis, its designed to be noticeable and a temporary solution until the cabinet is dropped (once the power connection is in place). The idea behind this is to prevent people tripping over the root base if temporary guards were not an option (I.E. narrow footpaths).

looks like a free advertising opportunity for a driving instructor called Pete to me

Haha yes! There's a similar thing round here for a new housing estate. I'm amazed nobody thought to look at what the covers on the box in the pavement in front of it say.

Yes.
