Re: Can someone explain why they cant make smaller cabinets? said by fifty nine:said by r81984:It is also a no brainer to put the boxes in peoples back yards. Why? So that the utility has to ask you permission every time they need to maintain their equipment? I'd rather have one by the street rather than in my back yard to be honest. It will not be put on your property. It is put on the easement in your backyard.
In new subdivisions I have seen everything (power company boxes, cable company boxes, etc) is either in the backyards or along the road to enter the subdivision where there are no houses. Even in my old house which that neighborhood was built in the 70s it is above ground wiring along everyones backyards. Nothing is in the front of any house.
I can't understand why in some neighborhoods they would be lazy and put these in peoples front yards.

The VRAD needs to be as close to the copper distribution cabinet (SAI, "cross-connect", "B-Box"; whatever you wish to call it) as possible. The VRAD is the neighborhood terminus of the fiber; it has to convert to copper somewhere, for the "Last Mile" distribution. I suspect a lot of it has to do with communities which allowed the SAIs to be placed in locations which the neighbors currently find offensive.
