It'll be a combination of coax, fibre and network cabling, for now at least it's very
I'm not saying it's likely, but I'd also refute the idea that it is "very small" - no point spending thousands on new cabling if there's already something that goes where you want it to.
When these place are fitted out the cabling is put in specifically for the equipment that's in bays. It's done as the fit out happens, they don't just hope that the bunch of BNC connectors lying on the floor will do.
Flood wired patch panels between different sides of the room/locations in the building are useful. The fibre from that patch panel to the now removed device isn't
