Chuck,

Marker balls are about $8.  Yes, you need to have a locator that supports finding them.

How much do those marker balls cost?
Does it take a special locator to find them?

Colin,

We have direct buried some coyotes in fringe areas with 1x2 splitters in them.  Always throw a marker ball on top is we need to find it later.

In standard vaults; although rated for such I could never imagine direct-burying a splice case.

Are the splice cases in hand holes or bured?

We're going to put these in splice cases that would cost easily thousands of dollars to hydrovac-unfreeze and replace if a single splitter failed in -40 degree winter... now Fiberstore SFPs are great but tell me, in the above case would you put a $11 FS Splitter or a $60 huge-name-brand splitter?

Colin,

$60.00?

FS.com 1x16 PLC bare fiber $11.00

ActiveEthernet: Property acquisition for the land, legal fees, concrete pad, electrical install, cabinet, UPS, heating/cooling, fiber switch is probably $10,000 - 15,000 including cost of time. When we're busy I'm not sure that it would be worth doing for only 30 homes.

PON: two 1x16 fiber splitters that fit in existing splice cases and require none of that support cost $60 each.

Shared bandwidth...16 customers sharing 2.5gbit fiber looks pretty good when we still have tower sites with 16 customers on a 10mbit 2.4Ghz FSK AP. And 10Gbit GPON seems to be coming soon...

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.
