OK. Maybe I need to ask this question a different way. I'm not concerned about interfaces on a piece of equipment. I'm looking at an entire installation site. This has nothing to do with deciding which interfaces get lightning surge and which don't. It's about classifying the installation site.
For example: I presume that installations such as a remote terminal pedestal enclosure, or a cell site is considered as outside plant i,e, not inside a CO or Metro POP. Is this correct? Secondly, what about Controlled Environmental Vaults (CEVs) or Huts? Are these also considered outside plant or are they sophisticated enough in their environmental controls etc to be considered as inside plant, i,e, same as installing in a CO or Metro POP?

Inside plant I could use a refresher on the definitions of Outside plant vs. Inside Plant and how the demarcation boundaries fall. In particular I was assuming that something like a cellular telephone "cell site" was outside plant. Am I wrong? Can a cell site be either depending on the implementation?
