Hi guys.
Just on this...how many cabinets typically run off an exchange? i.e do cabinets serve 20 odd houses are we talking more likes the 100's / 1000's?
Is there anyway of finding out which cabinet i'm served from?
I ask as our exchange (newcastle west midlands) has a targetted FTTC rollout of September this year.
Cheers,
Jon
The ammount of
Cabinets served by a particular
Telephone Exchange, depends purely and simply on the size of the Exchange area, ie- the ammount of End Users (EU's) properties.
For example, I have an Exchange near me that has only 3
Cabinets, and another that has 125. On average, in an A-typical urban patch, a Cabinet will support
approx 600 EU's, but can range from having just a single 100-pr strip to having 7 or 8, 200-pr strips. It really does depend on how the Cable Planners have utilised the network and population density.
