Openreach

[modelman093]

Openreach have just attached this to the pole that provides overhead copper connections to a couple of dozen properties in our lane . Unfortunately I missed the chance to ask them what it’s about. We are about 400m with the old village exchange with two green cabinets . Something to do with fibre ?

It’s a joint box I think? Seen a lot recently - trying to avoid putting stuff underground as they just get soaked and fail.

My copper phone line goes through that type of junction box (in a pit).
No reason you couldn't use it for fibre, but it's probably just copper.

If fiber it will be in little black ducting with a yellow pinstripe and a 2 inch square yellow sign warning of fiber installed on the pole

Oh it's a fibre node alright look carefully at the openreach sticker...

There is a chance it could be for a private circuit tho so not public yet..
