Following on from the Virgin Media street cab article, I came across a PCP last week with the doors left unlocked (and wide open to the elements!) I phoned it in to Openreach and it's already fixed, but as I had my camera...
This is a 'vintage' BT street cabinet, so no FTTC VDSL equipment. Still hoping to grab some close-up snaps of one of those, though given the cost of equipment in them I doubt I'd find an open one which wasn't vandalised. Who knows...
Some photos for your nerdy enjoyment:
My report on whether Deansgate should be pedestrianised based on @XR_MCR 4-day closure:
✅SIGNIFICANT improvement in air quality
✅Majority of businesses surveyed positive on pedestrianisation
✅TfGM reported only 'minimal traffic disruptions' https://t.co/O8FCoXH9Vp
Noisia disbanding is some of the most significant D&B news since VSN001 promoed. Thijs, Nik and Martijn have given us some of the most influential tunes of the last two decades and set the bar for excellence in modern D&B. I'll be gutted to see the name disappear from the scene.

I have hosted with Dreamhost for over 10 years - and I still recommend them! Click the image to give them a spin.
Interesting to see 237A blocks in there, our local cab has a mixture of the old screw terminals, and the later 'thread the bundles of cable through the holes and use 8A connectors' type. I'm more than willing to send the photos if you're interested
Definitely Martin, I could stick them up on the article for comparison 🙂
That's not a particularly old PCP looks relatively new, and it does have fiber connected to it, all of the connections on the right hand side with the green and blue tops (representing Exchange and distrubtion side) are the ports that go over to the fiber DSLAM and back to the PCP to go back to the copper D Side. The yellow and blue are the jumpers that connect them from Copper E side to fiber D Side through the DSLAM out on fiber E side back to copper D Side. ☺ 🙂
