Re: Vrad or not (Chattangooa Tn)

In your first pic:

The corrugated-looking box on the right is an RT from the mid-80's or so. It contains technology that was on the bleeding edge... a billion years ago. It's fiber-fed, like other RTs. Not only does it serve POTS ("regular" phone) and T-1 type lines, it also can serve ISDN (woo!).

The box on the left is indeed a VRAD from the U-Verse era.

And in the middle, we have a cross-connect box. Looks to be the same vintage as the VRAD cabinet. It's needed so that any given copper line going to a home or business can be served by either the elderly gentleman on the right, or the spry young'un on the left.

FWIW that is a Lucent 80 series cabinet.
