Re: Fiber Types

Impossible to tell. Who owns the fiber: Telco, Cable, third party? What service is being delivered over the fiber?

Sounds like you are describing Hybrid Fiber Coax (HFC) outside plant used by Cable operators. Typically fiber is run from head end to local node. The node converts optical signals to electrical. Combination of hard line and RG 6 coax connect individual customers to node. A Typical node supports several hundred customers.
