Whose GPON are you using? From: Chris Fabien Sent: Tuesday, October 9, 2018 6:51 PM To: AnimalFarm Microwave Users Group Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Active E on the cheap
We have about 200 FTTH customers installed on FTC11. Overall very few problems. Fiberstore BiDi SFPs. We have occasionally had an SFP fail We normally put them inside another NID but do have a couple installed bare exposed to rain and have been fine. Not really enough room in the FTC11 to just run the drop to it, that's the reason for the NID. We have switched to GPON for new customers but these will stay in service until they have a problem or customer wants IPTV which requires GPON on our network.

I wonder if you are supposed to splice into a round cable at the house, or if you're supposed to commit to round drop cable. On 10/8/2018 3:38 PM, Chuck McCown wrote: Cheap indeed. Too bad they don’t offer the RB in the same form factor.

Not sure if you've seen it: https://mikrotik.com/product/RBFTC11 I have not used it. I believe it's unmanaged. It's certainly cheap enough. On 10/8/2018 3:02 PM, Chuck McCown wrote: 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. From: Gino A.

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.

From: Adam Moffett Sent: Monday, October 08, 2018 12:39 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Active E on the cheap 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. On 10/8/2018 12:47 PM, Chuck McCown wrote: https://www.fs.com/products/35333.html 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. https://www.fs.com/products/37922.html $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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- AF mailing list [email protected] http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- AF mailing list [email protected] http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- AF mailing list [email protected] http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -- AF mailing list [email protected] http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- AF mailing list [email protected] http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
