If you need 48 ports per 1RU, then I would recommend you consider the Huawei S5700-52X-LI-48CS-AC. They do need moderate cooling, but have excellent cost-per-port and all the features you would want for Ethernet based FTTH (downstream port isolation, per port rate-limiting, SNMP, sticky MAC, stacking, tons of other features). We have one in our lab we have been evaluating for another FTTH project and they are awesome. Much better feature set than Planet. They use the dual-port CSFP transceivers to get 48 ports into that space. The switches are about $2k each depending on quantity. We are a Huawei VAR so message me if you want more info.
