Does everyone hate the 450b high gain cover with the cable gland as much as we do? Not sure why they felt the need to do this on the high gain but not the mid gain. I wish somebody (Chuck?) would sell an aftermarket conversion kit to make it like the mid gain or the original Canopy SM. With a

Tower from the ground, eave bracket is probably the best way. If you cannot put a sled on the apex, then I think you are going to have to drill a hole in the roof, put some kind of plate across a couple of trusses to take the vertical load and then bolt to the trusses for side load. If it can

Looking for feedback on installing large dishes (2'-3' licensed) on a sloped asphalt shingle roof. I know that you can get some 2" J-legs with outriggers, but they might not be tall enough to mount the dish. Is it better to have the roofer come out and put in a pipe with a boot somehow attach

Your first troubleshooting step is look at customers down and why they are down. Most OLTs will track whether an ONU is offline due to power loss vs signal loss. When you get to finding an actual break, if the fiber is dark from the customer end you ban use a normal otdr. They also make otdr that

For something like GPON, looking at which customers are down will help get an idea if it's a power issue or fiber cut. Some customers have UPSes so that will help determine that. If you really want to track fiber cuts, you can do a "loopback" at the far end of a fiber by allocating 2 lines to tha
