If you have one strand going out there, you hang a switch and give all 30 homes 
active E.  

Each home needs a drop.  
So you have to connect the drop to either a splitter or an SFP.  

With AE you will have to power the switch but then  you have no shared 
bandwidth, it has market cache vs shared bandwidth old fashioned GPON etc...

That's the main reason, and it branches into upgradeability. If a new 30-house 
subdivision appears in a field a few miles from your headend, and you have a 
spare 10 strands going out there, you only need to use 2-3 strands instead of 
running new 48-strand cable the whole way.

  So, other than the obvious strand count advantages, why would you use this vs 
active ethernet?

  It works fine.  We have it in 2 subdivisions.
  It is brain dead simple to configure.

  Since it “Just Works” there isn’t a lot to configure.  The ONU (cpe) can run 
in bridge or router mode.  I’m not sure what the routing/NAT speeds are capable 
of but it will do 1G in bridge mode without breaking a sweat.

  Does anyone actually have this equipment in a production environment?  I have 
a test setup, just haven't heard much discussion about it so I thought I'd 
check with the group.
