No here they put one fibre to the block, then they split the fibre to 16 
customers. Which one on each, is software config on the router, and 
maybe at the telco. The splitter is optical, no power needed.

I have seen the wiring up close. And done wiring, but not for customers, 
but tiny coax that distributed 2 mbit transmission. With a 5ESSS.

No soldering, no connectors, no crimping. Just wrapping around a long 
pin. The wiring is methodical, just a long job. No failures.
