We’re doing fiber-to-the-campsite at some RV-only campgrounds.
We did some minimal fiber-to-the-backboard work in 2017 and the owner has liked it’s reliability, so we’re redoing it to a higher density. 10g backbone and 1g to each power/water pedestal that is between sites. We have a Hex-s there with SFP and outdoor electrical box ethernet ports for wired access, and a unifi ac-mesh AP at each pedestal. That means lots of fiber drops. Rather than PON, we are doing active ethernet. These backboards distribute power and fiber (previously cable-tv coax) to the pedestals.
The netfiber9 has some room inside, but it’s kind of cozy for more than a splice or two. I used a separate box to manage the splices. Some splices go downstream to other backboards, some go upstream to the router, some go to sites. I’m not yet enamored with quick-connect ends, so I chop a patch cable in half and fusion splice it to the drop cable. The patch cables are not weatherproof and I’d like to keep them hidden anyways, so I used a piece of cable conduit between the netfiber-9 and my splice enclosure. Used POE to power it with weatherproof cat5e/6 cable. Should be good for a number of years now!
