An nbn Fibre to the Curb (FTTC) connection is used in circumstances where fibre is extended close to the premises, connecting to a small Distribution Point Unit (DPU), generally located inside a pit on the street.
From here, the existing copper network is connected to the fibre to form the final nbn connection. To power an nbn FTTC service with electricity and provide a connection to the nbn network, an nbn connection box will be required.
