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.

    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.
