Re: [AusNOG] Pics of an NBN FTTC install

I also don't see any issue with that install, the plant is designed to be installed like that and can handle the conditions. Terry Sweetser Chief Technical Officer *SkyMesh* d: 07 3123 5807 a: 07 3123 5817 m: 0447 069 725 p: 1300 759 637

Re: [AusNOG] Pics of an NBN FTTC install

While I still would love to see FTTP instead of MTM personally, I think any step that takes fibre closer to the doorstep (FTTC/FTTdp) is a step in the right direction (vs say FTTN). Nathan. On Thu, Feb 1, 2018 at 1:15 PM, Will Dowling wrote: > It feels like a bit of an ugly interim step, but I

Re: [AusNOG] Pics of an NBN FTTC install

... and FTTP being passive rather than powered, not needing upgrading / replacement for a much longer time, easier to install and not mixing media types I know I'd much rather find a pit that looks like this: https://i.nextmedia.com.au/Utils/ImageResizer.ashx?n=http%3A%2F%2Fi.nextmedia.com.au%2

Re: [AusNOG] Pics of an NBN FTTC install

And hopefully go straight to FTTP if there isn’t a existing copper lead-in in a FTTC area. It cost basically the same to trench for copper as it costs to trench for fibre. Mark > On 1 Feb 2018, at 1:29 pm, Matthew Moyle-Croft wrote: > > FTTC is just an interim step - you still build the same G

Re: [AusNOG] Pics of an NBN FTTC install

FTTC is just an interim step - you still build the same GPON network but you avoid the expensive part which is the bit from the curb to the house. Over time you just start converting the drops into fibre - either because people pay you or the copper drop dies. It feels like a bit of an ugly i

Re: [AusNOG] Pics of an NBN FTTC install

One would expect it would cope fine, given that according to the datasheet it's designed to be "submerged in a pit (up to 1 meter) for one month". https://www.netcommwireless.com/sites/default/files/ndd-4100-01_spec-sheet.pdf Scott On Wed, Jan 31, 2018 at 4:19 PM, Peter Tiggerdine wrote: >

Looks better than the vast majority of pitts? Looks like this https://www.netcommwireless.com/what-we-do/network-terminating-devices/fibre-distribution-point-fttdp Still way better than VDSL over 400m of copper. On Thu, 1 Feb 2018 at 05:49, Sam McLeod wrote: > Pretty disgraceful: https://i.im

Re: [AusNOG] Pics of an NBN FTTC install

Simplest way would be a diode on each power feed. That way it doesn't matter what each house does, as long as one is connected then it is powered. Assuming the resistances in the cables and the voltages being supplied by the power supplies is roughly the same you should get at least some curre

Re: [AusNOG] Pics of an NBN FTTC install

My understanding on the power side of things is that one service is enough to power it all. When more than one is active the power load is shared across all of them. On 1 Feb 2018 10:47 AM, "Matt Hare" wrote: > Looks pretty standard for a pit to me, however I guess I haven't seen a > good qualit

Re: [AusNOG] Pics of an NBN FTTC install

Looks pretty standard for a pit to me, however I guess I haven't seen a good quality install to be able to compare it to. So how does the power on those work, as it splits out to 4 homes, are there four individual power units within the Netcomm box and each home must provide power to receive sync?

Interested to see how that pit splitter is going to cope when the pit fills up with water... Regards, Peter Tiggerdine GPG Fingerprint: 2A3F EA19 F6C2 93C1 411D 5AB2 D5A8 E8A8 0E74 6127 On Thu, Feb 1, 2018 at 10:16 AM, Craig Askings wrote: > What part of the install is disgraceful to you? It i
