Adam,

How far are you going?  We are pushing almost 20 miles on a 1x32 split.  Are you using one 1x32 or multiple smaller splitters?

I'm looking at rural areas (like a few houses per mile).  As I'm looking at hypothetical power budgets for PON, I'm finding that if I run the line down the road and put splitters on the pole I can split 5-6 times and then I'm getting too low on db to keep going down the road.  At 5 or so houses per port, a 1U, 8 port ONT is no denser than a 1U switch. Your stated reasons for PON are all correct.  The numbers just aren't seeming to work out for me. I also figure if I install enough fibers for AE, I can still switch to PON some day if I want to. We would never max out the PON port, but looking back on the past 15 years of growth in consumption I wonder if I should ever say "never". In AE I can put 100Gig in every house if I have to.  I'll "never" have to do that as far as I can imagine, but my imagination could be limited. -Adam ------ Original Message ------ From: "Josh Reynolds" <j...@kyneticwifi.com> To: af@afmug.com Sent: 2/11/2018 9:28:34 PM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Outdoor PON OLT A few reasons... Port cost is still fairly high. More splicing. More fiber required. Larger chassis required. More power required. More battery backup required. Consumers not even close to using up 1-2 generations back of PON capacity in most places.
