....good question.
There must be a routerboard that works with this Mikrotik brand PON
module, but I am curious if that's true of the RB260.

RB260GS units currently, although I may be switching due to
availability.

Whose ONTs do you use? Calix does not have a POE version as far as I
know.

I've been using outdoor ONTs, powered via PoE. I splice at the side
of the house, and put up a splice tent if necessary.
Another option would be using pre-terminated drop cable with storage
on the side of the house for leftover slack. I have not seen anyone
keep enough slack on the side of the house to get all the way out to a
truck/trailer.

Do you guys typically use an outdoor ONT or indoor? I see pros and
cons.
If it's outdoor I assume it's POE powered and you just run CAT5 into
the house, correct?
And inside your NID enclosure I imagine you splice your drop cable
into a pigtail with a factory end. That seems like the simplest,
cleanest way to me.
On the other hand, I'm finding at least some vendors (Alphion) who
only sell indoor ONT's. So in that case, I'm thinking the splice
enclosure goes INSIDE the house because you're splicing to an indoor
tight buffered patch cable which I run to the ONT.
On the third hand, if the NID enclosure is outdoors, then I need
slack loops big enough to bring the enclosure (or splice tray) inside
a truck to work on it, whereas I could splice in the customer's
basement without an issue, so maybe I only need 10' of slack down
there.
I guess I'm dumping my thoughts so those of you with more experience
can criticize my wrong headed thinking and tell me what the right
choices are before I f*** this up.
