- A Fibre optic cable can bend, twist, or wind.
- The cable may be stretched which will damage the cable.
- The cable connectors may not be fitted properly.

What is an ONT or CPE? ONT stands for Optical Network Terminal. CPE stands for Customer Premises Equipment and they perform the same function. The ONT / CPE device is usually placed on a wall at the premises when fibre is installed.
It connects to the termination point (TP) via an optical cable which will connect you to the fibre network, and it connects to your fibre router via a LAN / Ethernet cable.
