Yes - The German Telekom has refs for all their Cabinets although they are not necessarily on the cabinet itself. Its build from the ONKZ ASB and a Number whereas the ONKZ (Ortznetzkennzahl) is the Area Code, the ASB (Anschlussbereich) is basically the ref number of the CO/MDF within that Areacode. I for example am attached to the Cabinet 5242-4-A27. On the cabinet itself there is a small 4A27 buts that not necessary the case for all cabinets. With that number you can build the hierarchy of the network because the cabinet 5242-4-A27 is connected to the MDF/CO 5242-4. There are roughly 300000 DTAG street cabinets in germany. Then there are Unity Media, Kabel Deutschland, KabelBW and other Telecoms who have set up street cabinets. Without deep knowledge you wont be able to differentiate them. They bought the cabinets from the same 3-5 Vendors. > As we are talking about telecoms, I'm not so friendly with the MDF term, > used in Germany for instance. > All MDF buildings mapped as such in OSM are central offices (sounds to be > the right English term) and host MDFs but a lot of other stuff (switches, > DSLAM, power devices...) The German term would be HVT ( Hauptverteiler ) and the street cabinet the KVZ ( Kabelverzweiger ). The larger ones containing DSLAMs are called MFG ( Multifunktionsgehäuse ). As my understanding of english/american terminology comes the CO describes the building which then contains the MDF and possibly a Voice Switch. > It's the same for "passive MDF cabinets" in the street : you can find > multiplexers (ok it's active equipment, but can be remotely powered) which > is not part of the MDF.
