We use Nebula VFast units, ourselves. Google on both will turn up the specs and details. For Multimode, or when more intelligence is required on the link, we use RAD ETX chassis, with appropriate SFP's.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22094694 Thu, 19 Mar 2009 11:29:05 EDT Re: [General] Using Media Converters to deploy FTTB http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22093275 gregsandiego : Fair enough I won't ask then. What brand of media converters do you use?

Hi Laz,
Do you work for Rogers?

Nope - work for a large CLEC, that shall remain nameless...]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22088040 Wed, 18 Mar 2009 09:19:06 EDT Re: [General] Using Media Converters to deploy FTTB http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22087909 gregsandiego : Hi Laz,

Usable reach is about 20km for the products we use. Services from 2-100 meg, generally.

It works well, although they are "dumb" devices, so troubleshooting is sometime labour intensive.

PON seems to be the preferred FTTP technology for most roll outs rather then switched Ethernet.

How does this compare to using a more sophisticated and expensive product like a small Cisco switch?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22069543 Sat, 14 Mar 2009 19:05:46 EDT
