Hi. I have an ONT. I’d like to move the ONT from its location to a different part of my home.
I do not have fibre to the new location, only Cat 6. Can I purchase a pair of Fibre to RJ45 converters and still expect the ONT to work on the other end?
I know my ISP does Mac/Serial detection on the ONTs so the ONT must be the one establishing the connection and this data must be unchanged, I’d have thought most F->Eth converters do not establish a connection to the OLT, but simply pass through transparently any data they are converting.
Anybody have any experience here? TIA.
You must log in or register to comment.
So you want to add 2 devices just to convert optical>electrical and then electrical to optical? What have you gained by this?
Literally what the post says. The movement of the ONT, obviously.
It would be better to extend the fiber cable using a fiber coupler and a pre-connectorized fiber patch cable than introducing 2 additional component failing electrical devices to a passive link.

Leave it for the ISP, or just run it to a RJ45 to it from the main network area.
Not what I asked.
You don’t control what people answer or reply to
Of-course not, and I value any and all replies - I hope though, that me indicating my question is more asking whether this is “theoretically or actually” possible rather than advice on whether I should or should not do this, so the thread does not become entrenched in noise, I am sure there will be people in future, who may also seek an answer to this question, too :).
I should have said in the initial post that asking the ISP to move the ONT, or running RJ45 from the ONT and keeping it in place, are not options - apologies.
You do not value all replies or you wouldn’t be so rude with some of the replies you have given back.
If you WON’T ask the ISP to move the ONT, then CAT6 to the other location is going to be your best solution. If you don’t like this answer, then stop posting asking for them on Reddit.
wat - this makes no sense, so because I want to understand whether it’s theoretically possible to move the ONT via a Cat6 link, and nobody is able to provide me that answer, I should just stop asking the question entirely? Tldr, you think that I should stop asking a genuine question because the amount of folks who can give an actual answer are limited?
Go figure.
