We put the FTC units in a Calix enclosure. I guess my question is more RB vs FTC. Is the FTC missing any features that the RBs have?

Works great as long as someone doesn’t saw off the tab closure mechanism, which seems to happen every blue moon for some reason. As far as I know, there are no MT or UBNT or other fully outdoor ONT systems that have the ability to transition from drop conduit/fiber with tray and also trasceive to 1000Mbps AE in the same all in one box. The MT FTC has no room in it for splice from drop to LC connector. That is the major problem with all of those solutions, everyone seems to forget that we are coming at it with a spliced end. Even if we had a full configured drop, I still wouldn’t want it exposed at any time to the outside directly without conduit. Which means I want a NID/ONT system that can transition from 1” or ¾” conduit directly inside, with room for slack and splice. There have been more than a few times we’ve been able to ‘save’ a drop because we’ve had enough slack inside when the customer or contractor for some reason pulls the conduit or drop away while digging a fence pole or trenching something etc. etc. From: AF <[email protected]> On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, December 19, 2018 2:41 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [AFMUG] ftth ae Sterling, I think you use RB260GS and put them in a Calix enclosure. Is there really the much benefit vs using the MT FTC system with its own outdoor enclosure? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- AF mailing list [email protected] http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
