I'd assume the houses have their own grounding at their electrical
service entrance. Any locality in the USA would require that.
Unless it was a hillbilly electric job done on the down-low I suppose.

How are you isolating power to the device with the sfp's?
If they are both powered by the same source doesn't that null the fiber?

We have a rural tower site where the owner has a few houses on the
property, they ran conduit and cat5e between the houses and the
tower so the houses could get Internet access.
But.... with the size of the property and the tower being a big
metal structure, that caused some voltage / ground imbalances that
fried gear at the houses after storms, I believe even through
surge supressors (hich are made to protect against single
high-voltage direct strikes).
We put in some electrical isolation using copper-fiber-copper
converters / switches at the tower, those worked until the winter:
when it got to -30 outside the FiberStore SFPs were unhappy.
Does anyone have good cold-weather solutions? Or were we just
unlucky with those SFPs and should try something else in the cold?
