    It'll be happy at 52A whilst someone takes a quick shower. And saunas cycle on thermostat once up to temperature anyway.

    Garden room electrics - could this have been done more neatly?

    Easily. Also that does not comply with the regs - there are single insulated conductors that are not within an enclosure, the SWA cable has not been correctly terminated, the exposed steel screen could potentially present a hazard - we don't know how it's connected at the other end. I'd be...

    Fibre Broadband - the last 10m...

    True, but you can also go onto the Openreach website and request its removal. There is no charge for this, but the people who do it would then be paid for the job, I would think.

    Help to identify this please

    Google says: Aritech DR series passive infrared (PIR) sensor, most likely the Aritech DR115 or DR110, which was widely manufactured and installed during the mid-to-late 1980s.

    Phone Cable Question

    GPON is a form of WDM. It uses one lamda each way on the "last mile" with up to 1:32 splitters using 1290-1330nm upstream and 1480-1550nm downstream lamdas. Downstream traffic is broadcast to all end points and then filtered at the ONT. In the backbone traditional WDM allows higher muxing...

    Phone Cable Question

    There are standards governing the wavelengths used, so I would think (I retired just as this technology was being rolled out into provider backbone networks) you could get certain standard combinations and you'd have to plan your architecture accordingly...

    Phone Cable Question

    Yes, indeed. I'm referring to the in-street cab PoPs (Point of Presence), which take the exchange trunk and split down to multiple PoCs (Point of Connection), which then splits down again to the individual customers. The muxing is multi level. It's quite posssble to have a 2:1 WDM mux/demux in...
