Cabinet Migration Schedule

Chorus is providing a regular update of indicative customer migration dates for new roadside cabinets.  This schedule will be updated on a weekly basis with the intention of providing a forecast for a two-month period.

In addition a list of alternate Cabinet IDs is provided where the original planned ID differs to the final ID.

Cabinetisation Notices and Forecasts

Telecom's plans for cabinetisation are detailed in the documents below, as required by the UCLL and UCLL Co-location Standard Terms Determinations. 

This includes the most recent Cabinetisation Forecast and Cabinetisation Notice provided under clause 38.9-38.15 of the General Terms of the Determinations.

Please note that this document includes cabinets equipped with either ADSL or ADSL2+ capable equipment (see column J for clarification).  The dates listed for cabinetisation and cessation of supply do not necessarily indicate the actual date when customers will benefit from cabinet upgrades.  This may be up to 90 days after the date listed.

The data files that define the area affected by cabinetisation are provided as both tables and shapefiles. (A shapefile is a geospatial vector data format for geographic information systems software.)

In addition to the required indication of the number of MPFs in specific exchanges that may be affected by cabinetisation, both the tables and the shapefiles also include identification of cabinet areas that have no MDF impact.  See Impacted Planned Cabinet Addresses and Impacted Exchange Addresses below for more information.

Distribution Cabinet Information Notice

Chorus has published information about its existing Distribution Cabinets (i.e. a cabinet that is equipped with power and other support services which, when equipment is installed in the cabinet and /or associated pedestal, DSL services are able to be provided to one or more End Users) in accordance with the Standard Terms Determination for Sub Loop Unbundling. This information is complementary to, but separate from, the information in the Cabinetisation Forecast and Cabinetisation Notice. A forecast of Distribution Cabinets likely to be commissioned within the next 12 months is also provided.

Please note that the Distribution Cabinet information provided reflects Chorus' current records.  Chorus will update the information to correct any errors as they are identified. Access Seekers are responsible for ensuring that they use the most recent information available, which will be the version accessible from this webpage.

Impacted Planned Cabinet Addresses

The data tables include the Cabinet ID and XY co-ordinates of all street addresses within that cabinet's area.

The co-ordinates of street addresses have no relationship to the location of Telecom's or any other operator's customers or plan, other than it is in the planned cabinet area. (Access Seekers will be able to "look up" addresses of existing or future customers to see if they will be affected by cabinetisation.)

The shapefiles include data allowing coverage and identification of the polygons to be loaded into a GIS based system.

Impacted Exchange Addresses

The data includes all Exchange areas affected by the planned cabinets, with Exchange ID and the XY co-ordinates of all the addresses within that Exchange area.

The co-ordinates of street addresses have no relationship to the location of Telecom's or any other operator's customers or plan, other than it is in the planned cabinet area.

The shapefiles include data allowing coverage and identification of the polygons to be loaded into a GIS based system.
