What kind of plow? Vibratory?

We also have to run 36" deep. We do have pretty favorable soil for
plowing in most cases, only occasional rocks and the plow can usually
pull them up. Usually sandy soil which plows great, sometimes clay
which can be slow going but still plows OK. We never pre-rip.
We don't have goohers, do have ground hogs though. The one cut we've
had so far was due to a ground hog trying to move in to a washed out
area around a failed drain pipe that exposed our cable underground.
Most other existing utilities in our area are direct buried in rural
areas. New fiber is put in conduit sometimes, depends on the utility.
Many miles of telco and catv fiber direct buried though.

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.
