All of these things. I use flat drop and strip it down to the buffer tube upon entry to the enclosure. A way to attach the strength members a few inches inside of the cable entry port would be nice, accepting 1" conduit would be helpful as well.
Also, there needs to be an easy way to pull and replace the electronics without having to change the enclosure or re-splice. I pay about $65 for the RB260GS and a Corning enclosure, but you could get a bit more if everything was integrated properly. -Jason On Mon, Feb 6, 2017 at 7:33 PM, Sterling Jacobson <sterl...@avative.net> wrote: > 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. > > > > > > > > > > > > *From:* Af [mailto:af-boun...@afmug.com] *On Behalf Of *Harold Bledsoe > *Sent:* Monday, February 6, 2017 6:10 PM > *To:* af@afmug.com > *Subject:* Re: [AFMUG] POE Fiber Transceiver > > > > Sure, why not.
