Contractors have managed to work in small teams, which delivered a significant cost reduction regarding labour expenditure. SpiderWeb Ribbon ® (SWR ® ) is a cutting‐edge ribbon fibre technology, allowing a high volume of fibre packing into a small size component, built into the ADSS‐W cable allowed fast end‐ to‐end splicing and connectivity within the PM Closures at aggregation/convergence points. The upfront cost at home pass stage was related (as promised) with the cable, hardware and PM closures only (where required). Typical installation setup – ladder with "basket" round
