    Luxury is right! FiOS has been so hard to come by, especially in NYC. I guess some of the residents are cheap wads and rather have Sprectum, but atleast it’s available

    Bloody hell! Shouldn’t they build a proper termination instead of floating everything? One snag and it’s a freaky mess.

      Usually at least at newer buildings I have seen these are housed in a box like the one on the left. Most likely the one on the left is for cable.

        The one on the top left is the fiber hub. That’s the main feed into the building. The one below is a terminal which connects to all the fibers coming out of the greenish conduits. The four gray boxes are individual ONT which are probably for various data/phone connections(elevator/fire alarm/faxes) for the building.

    Jesus, well done on the duraline installaiton but someone really dropped the ball on the ABF execution. At the very least secure the service loops to the tubes, those fiber drops are begging to get snagged on something.

    That’s Verizon FiOS and it looks like it’s in NYC. They usually leave just the Duraline micro-duct with a pull string and when (and if) the apartment unit subscribes to FiOS they send the fiber tech to pull the fiber (usually Cleerline SSF) and terminate. In this case they chose to pull the fiber at early stages, which is a good thing. Reason is that the micro-duct kinks easily and then forget about pulling anything through a kinked duct. By pulling the fiber now they still have time to remediate if they noticed a bad micro-duct.

      They started prewiring in recent years. FiOS was deployed in my old apartment in Virginia 2019 and they prewire the microducts to EACH UNIT before the service is ACTUALYY AVAILABLE TO ORDER.

      I thought it was to save time on installation, but I’m not complaining because it’s DEFINITELY more streamline

    Yup…microduct to each unit. I’ve designed this same scenario multiple times.
