    According to the Builders Handbook here New-Build-Handbook-v1-63.pdf (virginmedia.com)  the module will be connected to the existing VM cable that should be coiled up in the backbox. However the Euro Modules are supplied by VM, so any cable work would just be the 150mm tail of co-ax left in the backbox.  It looks like the VM engineer would supply and fit the actual module at the time of the Hub install.

Actually if these are euro modules, I can get some matching metal euro face plates. Just a bit of white plastic in the middle which is fine. 

I can’t tell from the picture whether the euro module is just holding the end of a cable (i.e. the female connector is on the wire) or if the wire is terminated on a socket that’s part of the plate. Do you know?
