DUDC Roll-Out Dashboard

What is a DUDC?

A dry underground distribution cabinet (DUDC) is a sealed chamber fitted with an extractable standard rack, cable transportation tubes, and a mechanical rack extraction system. This allows for easy patch cord management, for the efficient connection, termination and maintenance of circuits. DUDC units facilitate the connection of access services only, such as Helios, Lumic, Magellan, and Calypte. Peregrine and Titan links are not included.

What is a Grey Cable?

The grey cable project segregates DFA core network and Layer 2 infrastructure from dedicated customer links. This will free up additional capacity for new services on both Layer 1 and Layer 2 tiers. This will also offer the ability to quickly effect package changes with minimal loss of experience due to congestion. 

What is a Yellow Cable?

The yellow cable project replaces and consolidates backhaul infrastructure connecting DUDC units to the DFA core network. By replacing backhaul onto dedicated cables, this preserves the integrity of this infrastructure and reduces the number of hands in the network, by restricting the connection of new services to the closest DUDC unit.
