Hardware wise, I need it to have a good splice tray or system integrated. Our fiber drop cable is bigger than a buffer tube, lol! So these other guys outdoor units already miss the boat by not understanding that.
Ideally it would have a way to attach to the wall and have a conduit entry, maybe an inch or inch and half to secure directly to the conduit so it’s a ‘closed’ conduit system. The tray area needs to be able to handle a bit of 2-4 strand or two buffer tubes of 2 strands each. We only terminate one strand for BIDI, but have two or four included in the drop as backup. Again, the drop fiber outer diameter is at least a quarter inch wide. It would ideally have secure tie down points for the drop fiber outer casing, and maybe clear tray cover for the inner tubes and fiber. Needs a tie down for the splice because we fusion on a length of patch LC cable to it. Power wise, POE is great, but would be nice to have both external AND POE available for redundancy. I don’t need POE out at all, I’m not doing radio stuff, I just use it as demarcation and convert to existing Ethernet at the side of the house. I need a way to attach an asset tag to it so I cannot be opened without breaking the tag. Our plastic tag feeds are about 1/8 inch round. It might also be nice if there were a back side feed to bring the Ethernet in directly from the back part of the unit somewhere. I mean, to mount the NID directly on top of where the Ethernet from the unit/house comes out. Most of the Ethernet we work with is indoor that’s left dangling outdoors for years. We usually put a box over it and use liquitight conduit to bring the Ethernet to the NID. Functionally it must be able to convert a full 1Gbps FDX of course, but I assume your device already does that. Management wise I would need SNMP and VLAN capable IP assignment/management. I don’t use a lot of the features of the RB260GS, but I do use the neighborhood discovery name. I do use filtering to disallow DHCP advertising in case they plug the Ethernet into the LAN side of their network. I also use the basic throttling on the web page to take it down to 110Mbps up and down from 100Mbps. And finally, if you had this same thing in a bigger model accepting a SFP+ module with 10Gbps switching on around 8 GigE ports with the same features I would use that as well.

The problem with the Mikrotik, UBNT and IgniteNet converters is that they are not manageable. For about $40 I was getting a manageable solution with monitoring (SNMP) built in. It wasn’t water proof, so I still needed a splice tray and NID enclosure. It would be of great interest to me if someone combined all of this together into a single outdoor NID unit that was POE and manageable with SNMP.
