Terminating the local loop pairs takes up a huge amount of space, and there's still a lot of copper out there alongside the fibre

- cm2187 5y agoDoesn’t that happen in the local street cabinet?
- myself248 5y agoOnly in a small percentage of cases, typically exurbs where the subdivisions have been wired with such cabinets as pairgain equipment. Usually those cabinets are just cross-connects, basically patch panels, to assign individual subscriber drops to lines within the distribution plant. All the lines go back to the CO for termination, at least for the majority of subscribers that're fairly close to the CO and thus it doesn't make sense to deploy pairgain less than a mile away.
