Town through one of the two main fiber optic cables described
above. These cables then branch off to subsequent fiber optic
cables that serve individual fiber nodes that provide service
to many distinct service areas throughout the Town. Many of
the fiber optic cables that serve these nodes exist on the main
north-south arterial roads. The nodes provide a transition from
fiber optic service to coaxial cable service. Branching from these
nodes are the main coaxial distribution cables. The coaxial
distribution cables are routed to numerous amplifiers, aerial
taps and ground mounted pedestals that provide the individual
coaxial services to the customers. The main coaxial distribution
cables and individual service cables are generally those wires
that are located in the rear yard easements although they are
also co-located with the fiber optic cable on the north-south
arterial roads.
