Is that with a cleaver and battery? Pretty good price for a fujikura. I paid about twice that for my 18S a few years ago. On Monday, August 7, 2017, Adam Moffett wrote: > We recently got brand new Fujikura 12S Kit #2 for $3200. > From a vendor, not ebay. > > > --

Would be nice if someone made a single port, DIN-mount OLT with an industrial temperature rating. Alternately, an outdoor single port unit would be nice. Does anything like this exist? I've got a quote coming for Calix's outdoor GPON OLT, but I know that number is going to be up there.
