FTTP Gigafast ONT size and cable size

[reddwarfcrew]

Hi, I've orderd gigafast (mainly for the better upload speeds) and want to get everything set up to make the install painless.

Can someone confirm the dimensions of the ONT?

also what size hole will i need to drill for the fibre from the junction box outside into my home.

Thanks.

The favoured ont is the nokia and the dimensions are below

89 x 82 x 25 mm(Nokia) – 90 x 82 x 25 mm (Huawei)

However the work including bringing in the fibre and drilling will be done by openreach

Thanks that's great, really helpful.. both are basically the same size 🙂

Yep I know the work to bring the cable in will be done by Openreach, I just want to put the hole in place.  It's literally next to where O/R will bring the cable up through the ground as they've already put blue rope up thru the ducts around the estate. Just want to drill the hole in the right place.

In addition the ont will be placed up to 10metres from where the fibre enters the property and 3ft from the nearest electric power socket and would strongly advise against pre empting openreachs by the book installation
