Re: Name these Remote Terminals! (New equip.)

To tell if it is fiber or copper look at the pole and see if there is a tag around the cable at the pole . Fiber is usually tagged at poles copper is not. In Tennessee ATT is puttng a lot of fiber in for its future UVerse service due out at sometime later.

I was wondering why the cable was wrapped like that at the pole. I'll take a picture to confirm suspicions. Beats me why AT&T would deploy U-Verse out here in the semi-country, but I'm not going to complain.

Thank you guys very much. I'll keep spying on AT&T!

I usually look for the specialized hard casing and snowshoes lashed to the telco cable.

It's easier to place a single RT than can handle a DSLAM with room for a VRAD than place two seperate RTs fwiw.

@comcast.net

 All vrad cabinets placed in our area have been fiber fed. Nothing copper fed. If the fiber has not been spliced yet there would be no case or snowshoes. Or the fiber could be directly pulled into a handhole next to the equipment then no splice case would be seen. Another tell tell sign of fiber would be he innner duct.
