Chuck, we direct bury in rural areas. My cost for plowing is more like <50
cents per foot with our in house crew, figuring 2000ft per day.

Do you use direct burial?
I do conduit.
30 cents per foot minimum. Add at least $2/foot for plowing. All in, maybe
$3/foot and that is if I am doing my own plowing and splicing.

We have done 3 cabinets with cheapo AE (planet switches) and two sites with
cheapo GPON(ZTE). We will be continuing to deploy GPON going forward.
For us, the biggest advantage are ability to use small strand count cable
which saves cost on material and also lets you serve a larger radius from a
cabinet with the same size feeder cables (same # of strands in cabinet). And
larger radius served means less power feeds to pay for and worry about backup
power for.
We push the strand savings to the extreme using the optical tap split method,
and often serve many miles of homes using 18 cents per foot 12F drop cable.

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.
