Sometimes I've had an ethernet connection be "up" but not pass any
traffic. I feel better if there's something I can ping at layer3 on the
other end.
If I'm being fair, I'd say that condition isn't super common, and when
it happens you can fix it by resetting either end. As long as the
customer is trained to reboot the media converter maybe it's ok.

If it is up and nothing more than a bridge, you should be able to do
everything you want to do from the NOC I would think? Am I naive?

I have a bias against unmanaged devices. I want to be able to prove
there's connectivity all the way to the customer prem without having
anyone physically there. For $60-100 you can have a router or a
managed switch.
With ethernet is it sufficient to have an "up" on the switch interface?
I also suppose if they're unmanaged they can't be hacked and don't
need firmware upgrades. I could be convinced, but like I said, I have
a bias.

It has storage specs to –20C. Not sure why operating temps are 0C on
the lower end. But if it is inside an enclosure it will self heat.
$23 plus the $9 SFP.

$32 plus enclosure. Pretty low cost per customer doing it this way.
I know Sterling uses MTs for much the same thing, but if I remember
he cannot get the one he likes any longer.
I like this as there is zero config here. Dumb media converter. Put
all your smarts at your router or switch.
