Option 2
Relocating the ONT and BBU
Some developers want to position the v and Battery Backup Unit (BBU) further
inside the property. This will require a longer connectorised internal fibre
cable which is recommended to be installed in a protective conduit to the
external Customer Splice Point (CSP) plus the provision of a power socket for
the equipment. Additional Cat6* cabling is required for this option from the
ONT & BBU to connections in the study and living room. These connections
should terminate in an RJ45 socket. A power socket should be provided for the
communications provider’s router, if the router is placed near the RJ45 socket
or a double socket if it is placed by the ONT and BBU.
*Cat6 is the preferred option to ‘future proof’ for modern devices
