Re: Is it possible to have two non VM FTTP services

We work in 4,8 and 12. Often numerous CBTs to a UG box or pole. So you won't get it if it means taking a potential future customer or needed port out.

Only other things to answer. Standard FTTP drop wire is indeed single fibre along the lines of Pip's thinking. There is multi fibre drops. Used to feed shared ducts or flats, they split at the property but again the connectorised end requires two individual CBT ports.

In this scenario though you can indeed feed a single property with two fibre lines in a single cable from a CBT albeit occupying two ports.

Another thing Pip mentioned. 1 port per residential dwelling. Depending on the network builder (myself) redundant ports are sometimes not spliced into the network. Thus more work required if someone was to request it. E.G 4 port CBT/2 houses. 2 ports with light and spliced up. 2 unspliced and zero light.

Is it possible that those 2 unspliced ports were because the splitter was at capcity and to splice them in another splitter would be needed?
