Your all talking at your asses, I install these, in fact im going to set one tomorrow morning in san diego
These are standard ATT Vrad cabinets for the lightspeed project, by the end of the year expect one on nearly every block in every major city in the entire country, it take sa 3 man crew 3 days start to finish to install one and cost ATT more than 50 grand each
For whats inside, we run (2) 3" pvc conduits in, 1 connects to the existing node next to it, the other is stubbed out for the ATT Fiber guys and one more 3" GIP for power we run to the local power vault. (9/10 times u get a whole new sidewalk outta this.. your welcome)
Equipment wise, your looking at about a 3' x 3' telephone distribution block, opposite that the fiber channel cards, the power distribution w/ power meter, and what i would argue massivly excessive grounding, and opposite that the small equipment breaker box and surge arresting equipment.
For the size, IMO I dont see anywhere you could comfortably make it small except underneith.. im able to stick my head under there when im setting these to line up the bolts but the only reason i can see is high water.
I dont honestly know how many people they serve each.. i'd ballpark it at 200 looking at the distro block but I dont work on that side so I dont know what services they provide either
All I can say is get used to them, and you're going to see more of them before you see less, sorry |
