I was about to say VLAN's, but if the CPE is an unmanaged media
converter then I suppose I don't need a management VLAN, and I can tag
customer traffic at the switch.
I might be stuck in a "wireless mode" of thinking, wherein it's very
useful to have data from the customer side of the connection. Come to
think of it, with ActiveE all I really gain with a managed CPE is that I
can see the copper port status and I can ping my device. Hmm...

Can they be set to do traffic limiting? I do like their temp ranges
and the fact they can be POE powered from inside the house.

I use the RB260GS units, seem to work fine and they provide
troubleshooting capabilities at the customer end. Dumb media
converters would be a non-starter for me.

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.
