I wonder if you have ever seen 860 used overhead strung between telegraph poles! Thats what we used on the broadband system in the Rhondda valleys. They never used flexible tails either, and the amplifiers didn't have seperate modules. When the amp went faulty you had to remove the 860 cable and replace the complete amplifier housing
It was quite often that we used to find customers fed from the wrong cabinet, the install crew would install to the nearest cabinet and that was possibly not the one on their install sheet. That always makes me laugh when people refer to records and figures!
We also found quite a few wrongly labelled Node to DA cables, it was never noticed until the return path became more of an issue. I heard they had a problem getting a nodal cabinet to work in Swansea earlier last year, they spent 3 days loooking at a return path fault, only to realise they had connected it up to the wrong card and were looking at the US/return signal from a different node.
I laughed when the guy started telling me about the 3 engineers working on it and what problem they had because it was quite obvious in about 5 minutes what was wrong, he was giving me the story to see if I could guess!
That was after a resegmentation.
