Is "Central Office" the right english term for all kind of nodes ?
No. Central Office (North American term) or [telephone]exchange (UK/Ireland term) usually implies the location of a switch as well as the MDF and line terminations. However local loop nodes can be located remotely from a switch. Often these are in small cabinets, huts, etc. and contain the line termination (copper, co-ax or fibre) and a multiplexer to drive the back-haul (uplink) line to the switch location.
So in tagging tagging telecom network infrastructure, you need to know what equipment is present within a structure.
