Gosh, you have completely misunderstood my post! I had received only one answer to my question which was immensely helpful. What I meant what, I understood exactly what it referred to (i.e. drawing or laying cables) but I did not know exactly what term was used for the cabinet/box or whatever. I viewed a few of the entries for draw-through but still decided to post in case (as is often the case) someone would be kind enough to share their experience. I read all answers to my questions, and would never dismiss anyone! My sincerest apologies if I have conveyed any other approach.

@ Asker Your comment "In any case, I was really after specialist knowledge..." does seem rather rudely dismissive of other past contributors, who (had you taken the trouble to look) might well have provided equally expert and authoritative answers.

Readily found with a simple search:

and

(the latter giving you valuable reverse language pair confirmation)

I did a term search and found nothing - my apologies if it is there. In any case, I was really after specialist knowledge of telecoms and have received a very accurate and informative answer.

Glossary Did you try a term search? This term, or one very similar, has come up before, and a KudoZ term search using at least one of the keywords ought to reveal the earlier answers which might be of help to you.
