Re: Fibre to Coax transition

Your signature says you've got VM service already. Are you asking how it gets to you?

I went round my "village" and mapped all the boxes. I looked also for the tall squarish boxes with 240v warnings (not the less tall cabinets with 240v warnings). My "village" is c. 12,000 population with 3 such tall squarish boxes. These are optical nodes to which fibre is run. It then goes coax to the launch cabinets (the not so large 240v cabs) which then cascade to the distribution cabinets which are usually 220m apart-ish.

The street cabinets then have tap points and a cable runs separately to each connected house.

If your area is fully covered by VM, then I'd expect there to be 5 optical nodes.

Does that answer your question? And do that nerdy research and let us know!
