We have tried 844G and gigapoints but residential customers think that little yellow wire does not need any special treatment. One moved out and returned our 844g by cutting the fiber because they were not sure how to disconnect it.

Installs are faster and cheaper with the 801g, just have to run the fiber patch cord in, then run ethernet to where the router is, ie desk… 711 takes more work with power cable, battery backup I wish we could make that jumper cheaper, but I have not found a better way to do it. I am all ears. Anyone have a good source for UniCam SC APC ends that don’t cost $17 a piece?

It gets cut and mangled etc. I guess if you are nailing the ONT on the wall somewhere, but if it is similar to a modem on someone’s desk you are asking for trouble.

Run from outside splice box to inside ont. Almost always use the 25 footers. Expensive. $45. I have yet found a better solution that doesn’t involve more labor. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Af <af-boun...@afmug.com> on behalf of Jason McKemie <j.mcke...@veloxinetbroadband.com> Sent: Wednesday, March 28, 2018 4:10:56 PM To: af@afmug.com Subject: [AFMUG] Indoor ONT fiber Currently I just run a flat drop fiber to an enclosure on the side of the building, then cat5 inside. Those of you doing indoor ONTs, what are you using for fiber from the outdoor splice closure to the ONT? It would need to be UV rated and probably armored since I would prefer to not have to run conduit from the splice closure through the exterior wall. Thanks. Jason
