We had quite a few gfeller line concentrators installed in West Wales. I can think of at least five or six locations as I planned them. I think they were 18/96 concentrators which used 18 e sides to provide 96 shared e sides. We had to pick low usage customers to go on them to avoid line blocking. There were also 6/15 small line concentrators which could be pole mounted.
Hi, I can remember the Gfeller. We had several installed in our local area, Eastbourne. I was trained on them and looked after two or three. They were only a temporary fix until new cables or additional cable pairs could be installed. Mainly used for new blocks of flats and the customers were carefully chosen. They could usually be swopped in and out of the system if complaints were made. I remember one being installed in a local village opposite the Post Office. The systems themselves did not give many mechanical problems.
