The installation of another DTP than the one designed by Proximus engineering is not possible. 6.2 If the check reveals that a Fiber Intro-point & NT Installation is required, Proximus will deliver and install a DTP (if required), a Fiber Intro-point and a Fiber NT and establish the connection of the Installation Address of the Customer with the FttH Network.

In such case, the Customer is responsible for connecting the Fiber NT placed by Proximus in the technical room to his LU through structured UTP CAT 6 (or higher) cabling. Depending on the size and the layout of the MDU, the Fiber Intro-point may be placed at a different location. Once the Fiber NT is installed, an optical patch cord of maximum five (5) meters will be installed between the Fiber Intro-point and the Fiber NT. The optical patch cord will be placed in an existing cable gutter. The presence of the cable gutter is the responsibility of the Customer. The Proximus technician will perform no drilling work and will not apply any vertical cabling.
