By the way Chuck, Mikrotik makes an outdoor, PoE powered media
converter. Not sure if you've seen it:

I have not used it. I believe it's unmanaged. It's certainly cheap enough.

Pretty nice. What is the price?
What will it talk to on the other end?
Sure could come in handy where you want to mix pon and AE.

Any comments on this?

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.
