Do those small utility boxes alongside the tracks make sense for fiber optic? I expected things like that to be larger, if only because fiber has a minimum bend radius.

Edit: Good article though, I enjoyed it a lot.

The min bend radius isn’t that large in my experience. On the order of 10cm IIRC, possibly even less.

Much smaller than that, some might even say a utility box is overkill: https://old.reddit.com/r/techsupportgore/comments/nvwcuh/the...
