    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>

        <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>You can see water and mud has gotten into the pit but
          hasn't affected anything as expected.</div>

                    <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>
