Re: Charter Node?
said by jchambers28  :the fiber cable it self is between 24 and 48 count fiber the black bock box is a splice case there is no electronics in side it is pressurized with nitrogen to keep humidity out of the fiber. I know this because I have done fiber installs for a cable company before  Seems like a bit of a waste to run that many fibres into a building just to service a cable node.
My guess is it would be more like 2-3 pairs (if not a single pair), which seems a hell of a lot more sensible, and still allows them to install additional services into the building.
Keeping in mind that it is possible to run duplex communications over a single fibre, so they can get increased mileage out of their installation.
And dont forget WDM which allows even further mileage.  |
