You put enough slack on the snowshoes that you can get the splice case down
and into the splicing rig. Many of them have a hatch in the ceiling. An
old RV works great for this if you are starting out. It will need a good
workbench with good lights and some power for the fusion machine. AC and a
sound system is always appreciated. Functional bathroom.
Somehow you will have to get the splice back up, normally you would use a
bucket truck, hopefully one with a splice body so the same rig can do both.
But you can work this stuff off of ladders if you have to.

Every so often, you do what is called a "ring cut" or "mid entry" with a
splice case. Run drops forwards and back from the splice case. 8 drops
would not be a bad number to feed from each entry point. You have a snow
shoe on one or both sides of the splice case to store you main cable slack.
It is easier than dealing with splitters out in the field and it also allows
you to do full active if you want to. And you do want that option as it
will give you more capacity on each drop to sell and is really cheaper to do
if you do it via the Sterling Jacobson method.

Noob question - mechanically, how do you break out an individual fiber
outside the dwelling?

Something that small, run 144 count fiber, home run to each dwelling and

We're looking at our first fiber neighborhood project, about 90 homes.
The neighborhood will be fed via wireless and fiber used for
distribution. It's 100% aerial in remote private neighborhood.
Currently in the research/feasibility stage, but I hope this will be
our first build and a good project to cut our teeth on.
A few questions, answer off-list if you prefer:
- What OLT/ONT have people been using and liked for a small GPON network?
- Reading about "Distributed Tap Architecture" vs Splitting method.
Anyone have experience with Tap?
- Armored or Dielectric? 100% aerial at the bottom of a canyon under
dense tree canopy.
I'm sure there will be more questions, thanks in advance for any sharing.
