Case Study

Name: Lynden Hyrst, London

Units: 67 THP

Delivery type: Drop cables via Catenary wire

Connection points: 3 FDPs

Network points: 1 OLT cabinet

 

All cabling works at Lynden Hyrst, London were delivered using an external drop cable method via catenary wire. The project covered 67 units across three separate residential buildings.

​

Each apartment was prepped for future fibre activation with a 5-metre fibre coil installed from the nearest Fibre Distribution Point (FDP) to the resident’s lounge window. Drop cables were secured along catenary wire routes, which were firmly anchored to the building’s brickwork using eyebolts and hooks. To meet British fire safety regulations, all external cable runs above windows, doors, and designated fire exits were secured using a combination of fire-rated metal and plastic cable ties.

​

The site is served by three FDPs, each of which is connected to an on-site Optical Line Terminal (OLT) cabinet, fully installed and configured by Fibre-Net Solutions. The OLT is powered by a Nokia switch and distributes fibre service through five 1:16-way optical splitters mounted on the internal splice tray. All fibre coils were tested using an EXFO OTDR to ensure the light loss levels remained within optimal thresholds for seamless customer activation.

 

As a result, 67 residents at Lynden Hyrst now have access to ultra-fast fibre optic broadband through the Hyperoptic Fibre to the Home (FTTH) network—delivering high-speed, future-ready connectivity to every home on site.
