I thought the main cab's were alarmed anyway? Or was it one of those little green sub cabinets that have the wires hanging out all over the pavement?
Shame you never got a pic though! If I had seen anyone doing that and putting my tv, telco & broadband at risk I would have gone over to them with a baseball bat!  |
The Alarms are on the MUX cabinet only in orig CableTel areas, the CATV cabinets were planned to have alarms in conjunction with the UPS upgrade that got shelved in the cost savings.
There is no dangerous voltage on any customer taps in the CATV cabinet, the highest voltages on coax are for the amplifiers that run from 60V AC (hardly enough to give much of a tickle)
I dont think the police would be very interested in a roadside cabinet, and anyone who wanted to gain access to one of these could obtain keys quite easily anyway.
