How much do these cost??

[brantmacga]

I was @ HD the other day, and they had 40 NID's on clearance for dirt cheap.


I bought all of them because I wanted a couple to have just in case, and wanted to ditch the others on CL.


Anyhow, here's the part - Corning Opti-Way NG series NID


I can't find them for sale online. Does anyone know about what they normally cost new? Just wanted to be sure I wasn't asking too much. The guys @ HD found them laying around the store somewhere, and had no record of them in the computer, so I couldn't get the MSRP.

These guys have them but you have to call for price.

Yeh it was strange. But I figured I could use the housing for somerthing; splice box for adding phone lines, etc....

I got them for $1.50 ea. I'm a sucker for a good sale I guess

Probably for the next instore upgrade.....ooooops:grin::grin:

Somebody else was trying to get rid of them, probably the manufacturer. Then HD buys them for ten cents each thinking somebody will see them and think of a use for it. Would probably make a good "house box" to enclose the CATV ground block and a splitter or two that the cable company hangs on the side of the house with a staple or two. Probably what HD was thinking.

i was thinking along those lines when i bought them; also for when we add phone lines and they have one of the older 4-post junction boxes for phones.

i can use them for something, but it will take a few years to use as many as i bought.

Our local telco uses those...there's one on my house used for my fiber service. Maybe I should buy a spare from you.

My telco company used those type of outside boxes with fiber RGN-550/560 ONT cards from Pannaway/Enablence. They aren't bad boxes for outside use without a fiber optic electronics card snapped inside.
