Splice cases, the number and size, will depend on the design. You want to minimize the splice cases, but that has to be balanced on how many drops are you pulling back through the system to the splice. You can minimize hand holes too if you want to run the drop tubes longer. We typically have one hand hole per two houses and one splice case per 4-8 houses depending on how dense the neighborhood is.
You need to find a good splicer and have him/her look over a potential design. They will have lots of advice and pointers.

Sterling I might be buying you a vacation to Steamboat Springs, CO soon ;-) This list is such an amazing resource!!!

So 46 handholes. 1.25” between all handholes. .75” duct from each handhole to each dwelling for drops. You can run 144 count fiber for spares. Drop down to 96 or 48 count as it tapers going down the runs. You will need a cabinet with a distribution panel, electronics, batteries. It will need power. To go cheap, use a large cisco router with SFPs ports and SFP to each dwelling with a media converter at the ends. Or put in Calix. You can go GPON or Active. With something this small, I would do Active. You will have $150 to $200K in before you are done.

Is there anyone on this list who would like to consult with us so that we can get the plan done right from the get go? The developer will be doing all the trenching and conduit etc., we will be doing all the electronics and customer service etc. Best regards, Sean
