have you come across anybody who tried to splice their own fiber with
redcaps like they do with Ethernet?

We run fiber inside. Wall mount the CPE, bend insensitive tight
buffer cable with field installed connection, stapled to wall so
it can't get snagged. Educate customer it is not user serviceable
and provide costs for a service call to re-terminate or splice
fiber. No problems yet. Some resistance to having a router mounted
to their wall but we explain it's safest and they are usually OK.

We are planning on running fiber to inside. We will be using
bend insensitive and labeling DO NOT TOUCH. There should be
no reason for the customer to touch the fiber.
I know Chuck Hogg does it this way also and as far as I know
he has not had any problems.

I was asking Jason Pond, it sounds like he runs fiber to
the inside

How do you protect the fiber from the customer in
the house as far as keeping them from sullying up
the glass connecting and disconnecting it? Do you
find as high an incidence of cut fiber in the home
as with Ethernet runs or do customers seem to be
more wary of the fiber run?

SEE INLINE RED
1. Would you be able to make those power
points available to the list? I LEAVE THIS TO
STERLING AND CHUCK TO POST
2. What all equipment do you actually have at
the house? Are you running the fiber up to the
house and then making it the customers
responsibility from there? Or are you running
some interior Ethernet cable for people?
So this depends a little on setup but for the
most part you need to have an outside NID box,
and maybe outside ONT for a GPON setup, In
Sterling's case he was putting a RB250GS in an
outdoor enclosure and ethernet inside to a
WiFi router I think of customer choosing. We
are taking a different approach and putting a
RB2011 inside with Fiber going all the way to
the inside of the house and managing the
customer router for them.
3. Could I get a rough list of what is
actually going in the neighborhood peds?
There are pedestals/vault and cabinets.
Inside a peds/vault there is just fiber maybe
a splice case or MST box depending on the
design. Cabinets on the other hand need
equipment to do the following: Access to you
network and to feed your network out to the
customer. I.E. EDGE/CORE Router hooked to
fiber or wireless devices to receive the
internet / network feed and if you are doing
an Active Ethernet setup like Sterling and
Chuck Hogg you need multi-port SFP switches.
Each SFP port goes to a customer. Single fiber
to each household / business.
4. Are you still able to use Powercode (or
whatever you are using for your wireless
customers) for your billing/monitoring/rates?
Or did you have to get a secondary system to
handle the fiber customers?
Powercode is just a customer management system
w/ billing so yes you can use it and you can
keep track of all of your details in it also.
I.E. Tube # / Color / Fiber strand to which
customer and what port they are plugged into
the switch
5. How are you keeping track of where your
underground facilities are for years down the
road? Are you using GPS coordinates at
endpoints and service connections,
measurements off of cross streets, or just
planning to be able to use a locator to find it?
Some are using google maps, others surveying,
we will be using a GPS tracking software kept
in a database tracked through iDevices with
GPS bluetooth "pucks" this will be exported
into google maps and KML format when done for
future needs. I will have this system
available for use later in the year with a lot
more details after our build gets underway.
Just like in wireless you can skin the cat a
million ways everyone has a different take and
we hope to help anywhere we can as our project
gets underway this summer.
