<strong>NBN</strong> <strong>Co</strong> <strong>Network</strong> <strong>Design</strong> <strong>Rules</strong><br />
MDUs are classified into the following categories:<br />
Classification<br />
Actual Premises <strong>Co</strong>unt<br />
Very Small 2 - 9<br />
Small 10-30<br />
Medium 31-60<br />
Large 61-110<br />
FDA >110<br />
Table 3 MDU Classifications<br />
Fibre allocations for MDUs are based on an assumption that the lower number in the actual<br />
premises count will generally be horizontal or “garden” MDUs (e.g. a set of detached dwellings<br />
grouped around a central driveway) and may also be semi-detached housing. This classification<br />
would also apply to semi-detached MDUs within a community, for example a rest-home or similar.<br />
For this example the same fibre allocation applied to SDU will be applied.<br />
For the range of MDUs from Small to Large, if contained within the same building or in close vicinity,<br />
a ratio of 1.5 fibres per residential dwelling is used. This can be applied as having 1 fibre for initial<br />
connection and the remaining fibres available for use for building services or future non-addressable<br />
locations.<br />
For FDA sized MDUs the fibre allocation is consistent with the 1.5 fibres per residential premise<br />
however the FDH requires connection to the DFN.<br />
For commercial buildings an allocation of the greater of 12 fibres per floor or two fibres per premises<br />
shall be applied and the LF <strong>Network</strong> should be designed so as to be able to provide any diverse<br />
connection requirements.<br />
Classification Actual Premises <strong>Co</strong>unt Fibre Allocations<br />
Very Small 2 – 9 1.5 per premises<br />
Small 10-30 1.5 per premises<br />
Medium 31-60 1.5 per premises<br />
Large 61-110 1.5 per premises<br />
FDA >110 1.5 per premises<br />
<strong>Co</strong>mmercial Per Floor The greater of 12 per floor or 2<br />
fibres per premises<br />
Table 4 MDU Fibre Allocation:<br />
Extra fibres shall be allocated as required for any specific connections (in building services, lift<br />
phones etc.,) or for future capacity.<br />
