Agreed. Home run the fiber, use the PON splitters at the head end if you so choose.

Maybe it's a non-issue, but it seems like active layout is the way to go. You wind up with a fiber or two to each house and you can still hook it up in a pon configuration, but have the option to upgrade in the future. If I wanted to, I could easily do 10gbps symmetric every house right now. On Wednesday, June 24, 2015, Chuck Hogg < [email protected] > wrote: Well, we're importing direct from China currently. It's cheap. For example, we bought a demo kit, OLT, 16 of each ONT, Power Supplies, etc...<$5k. Each port is 1:64 capable, and has 8 ports. Essentially we'll probably only do 1:32. Gives us around 200 subs per unit. I think that breaks it down to less than $15. ONTs are <$60. The engineering design of PON makes construction cheap. We are using a 12 ct drop ($.19/ft) to serve 100 units. Essentially, we'll do a 1x8 PLC with 4 feeders. The 4 feeders repeat this design. Essentially, you can serve 160 units that way. I can reuse the infrastructure over and over and over easily. PLC's are super duper cheap. I pay less than $25 landed cost to me from China, regardless of 1x2-1x32. My biggest cost is construction and machine maintenance.

Based on 1:16 or 1:32 split? What about the ONT cost? For simple Ethernet aggregation of fiber, I've been looking at a cost of about $42/port for fiber aggregation (Huawei S5700-52X-LI-48CS-AC), with another $40 per bidi transceiver (1/2 of a dual bidi CSFP). Then on the ONT side I have seen ~$40 for a dumb media converter with built-in bidi to $100 for a full featured indoor ONT with 4 GigE ports and 2 POTS. I haven't priced out GPON solutions in a while, but last I checked, it ended up costing a lot more than this. Granted, I understand the OSP benefits of GPON, but just want to look at an electronics comparison.

But Why? I understand Long haul PON for FTTH, to conserve miles and miles of trunk fiber, but why in a building? Instead of having a single device (a switch) you now have active hardware all over the building to manage and maintain (And power).

We just had a new public library built here in town. The entire LAN infrastructure is built on PON using the Tellabs ONT's. http://www01.tellabs.com/products/tellabs1100ont.shtml I've briefly looked around their site, and read some case studies, but Why would you choose PON infrastructure in a single building? From what I can tell, you still have to run CAT 5 to the ONT for power, and the 4 port units (which I saw several around the library) have a wall-wort and a power switch. I'm having trouble wrapping my head around the concept, other than someone make a slick presentation, and someone else got a nice payoff. I wouldn't be surprised of the Latter, every single 120v outlet in the building is a 20A duplex receptacle with USB Ports (~$30 each) </blockquote> </blockquote> </blockquote> </blockquote> </blockquote> </blockquote>
