We use the Adtran ONT solutions. The configuration is Adtran TA5000 with a=
n Active Ethernet 24-Port Module (1187561F1) feeding an ONT TA324E (1287737=
G2) at the customer premise.
For power we are using the Cyber Power CSN27U12v-NA3 units.
The clam shell we are using to put the ONT in is TA350 ONT NID HSG SPLICE (=
1187770G1)

All of these part numbers should be available on Adtrans website to look up=
