Ah yeh that would make more sense :)<br>
<br>
The splitters themselves aren't very deep though, could potentially
fit inside lots of things. Weatherproofing and bend radius are
things that need to be considered though.<br>

I believe the plan is to also retro fit into existing spots
where possible, unless this has changed.<br>

<div>An example of an NBN pit (not reused Telstra one mind you

<div>Top of the pit has the ruggised connector box
(preterminated cable into the house) and an example of a fibre
joint. No splicing for last bit into your house - just
premade leads. Just like FiOS - same Corning solution.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>You can see water and mud has gotten into the pit but
hasn't affected anything as expected.</div>

(sorry not the best picture ever... couldn't find a
better one though.)<br>
<br>
So basically what happens is a single fiber runs
from the OLT to a passive splitter that you will
find in some of the old Telstra poles and pits
around the place. A single fiber is used for TX and
RX using different wavelengths. <br>

<div>Splitters are in roadside cabinets. See this photo
for an example:</div>

<div><br>
</div>
<div>Top of the cabinet are the splitters - fibre
connectors on the back panel are towards the
customers. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Moving customers around and connecting them is dead
easy, just need a fibre cleaner. You can see how
easy it is to reposition customers between splitters
if one runs out of bandwidth or you move to a new
technology.</div>
