French term or phrase: Gardy
There is mention of a "gardy" in a maintenance contract for a telephone system. The contractors say that they limit themselves to maintaining this and up to the fuseboard.
I see that "Gardy" is a trade name.
What is the piece of equipment, please?

Freedom Multinet system
Explanation:
I think it can be a Freedom Multinet system.

Reference:

Gardy (Schneider Electric) also has a similar solution to Abitana, under the name of Freedomnet. However, Gardy has the Freedom Multinet system specifically for homes. This does not use a distribution board with separate components, but a multimedia distribution box. Up to 8 RJ45 outlets can be connected to it. Two telephone lines, antenna or CaTV signals and a router can be used as the sources. In this way, each RJ45 outlet can be used for these different signals.

neutral  B D Finch: The Asker already knew it was a brand name. The question is whether it has become synonymous in the trade with a particular piece of kit (e.g. Hoover, Sellotape ...).
1 hr
  -> No idea how to translate a brand name. I think this should have been posted on English monolingual. Not much to do with Fr-En.
