There are all possible streetcabs. The KAbel network has its own cable harnesses, so it is also usually located in separate cabs.

The cabs that host MSANs are connected to a higher-level node. Whether in the course of the NGN developments Cabs are also connected directly to neighboring ones in order to keep routings short and possibly also create redundancy, I cannot tell you, especially since this can also be provider-dependent.

These boxes belong to different providers. Many of them from Telekom, when there is a cable network in the site, the cable provider (usually Vodafone) has its own boxes.

Deutsche Telekom’s boxes are usually connected to the telecommunications network with fiberglass, but copper cables run to the home terminals.

This is similar to the cable network. There are also many connected via fiberglass to other network sections or the head location. However, some of them are also connected via TV cables to other boxes and/or house connections.

I think fiber-optic providers also put up such boxes. They are then completely connected to glass fiber, also to the house connections.

This is not “the structure” of the Internet. This is just a very small part of the Internet to connect users to it.

The “switching boxes” accommodate any technology currently operating at which location is very different.

These boxes, however, are generally not a location distribution (OVT), only this is connected with higher-ranking technology, as glass fibers could be. From OVT to the street distributor, “copper” is used. Only when the road connection is in any case with glass fiber, it is also guided there.

The cable network structure is independent of this. Data that run through the coaxial cable network, which is actually intended for television, are fed from the internet or into the Internet at the end of the cable network. This transfer point can, but does not have to be connected to glass fiber.

Yeah, it’s possible or not.

The gray box doesn’t say anything exactly.

Unfortunately, this does not indicate the exact content.

You can ask yourself at any time whether glass fiber is available in this particular street.
