AE with two strands to every house can be done properly from the outset if somebody who knows what they're doing designs the OSP topology and pedestal/cabinet locations and specs. Sounds like it was done by people with more enthusiasm than experience and common sense. Sounds messy. On Tue, Aug

The 260GS has the Rx power level with the latest FW, and can do as much speed as you need. I'm doing AE, and wouldn't want to do PON with my deployment. I was using the outdoor Occam ONTs for the first several customers, and honestly I prefer managing the Mikrotiks since I'm not going to pay for

Mainly because customers can't keep their hands off of the RB2011. And all we really need is a copper GigE demarc. I agree with Josh. I want to stay away from something as simple as a media converter-like device. Managed is preferred so we can keep an eye on Rx power levels, etc. And an

I've been using the RB260GS in an ONT enclosure. Also has a SFP cage. Any reason you need something natively outdoor? On Tuesday, August 16, 2016, George Skorup wrote: > Is anyone aware of an outdoor active ethernet NID? I see some stuff from > Adtran, Calix, etc, but it's

Maybe something like the MikroTik RBFTC11? https://www.roc-noc.com/mikrotik/routerboard/fiber/RBFTC11.html Has an SFP cage, so you could put whatever optics in it you need? On Tue, Aug 16, 2016 at 7:15 PM, George Skorup wrote: > Is anyone aware of an outdoor active ethernet

Is anyone aware of an outdoor active ethernet NID? I see some stuff from Adtran, Calix, etc, but it's all BiDi/WDM optics. Problem is, all of this existing stuff is pre-terminated fixed duplex LC (they cannot be split). Long story.
