Morning all

I would like to know how long the power cable from the new ONT full fibre internal box is so I can measure to our nearest electrical socket please.

I would appreciate it f someone could send me photo of their set up for eg behind TV to see connections etc.

Thanks

Jean

Power cable on some of the Nokia ONTs have been around 1.5 meters in length.

The ONTs look something like:

Here's some information on how Openreach install FTTP

It’s the length of cable you get with a normal ‘wall wart’ plug in PSU. Probably 2m. You can get extensions for these low power DC cables if it is not long enough.

Thankyou for the info.

Question:

Just wondering is the full fibre coming through the wall connected directly into the back of your ONT box?

It plugs into the bottom. (The green connector in the picture above).

Been a while since I did FTTP Installs but I’m pretty sure the power lead for the ONT is only about 1/2m long.
