Black Box on Telegraph Pole

Hi,

Only because of the yellow sign on the pole, am I putting this in here.

-----

So I noticed a new black box appear on a telegraph pole, just wondering what it is?

There's also a black, what looks like cable spool at the top where all of the telegraph cables meet.

Then lower down the pole is a black box (photo attached), with cables coming out of it. There's also a sign below that saying 'Caution Overhead Fibre', not sure if that's new or not.

And we already have fibre broadband here. So that stumped me on what this new box could be.

Sorry for rubbish quality photo, was taken at night and then cropped so this forum would let me upload it.

Thanks

Hi, @Dragonfyr it looks like a CBT (Connectorised Block Terminal). Maybe additional Openreach full fibre capacity is needed or an Alt Net is rolling out their own service in your area.
