Ahoy Peeps,

I am taking a new connection from Jio Fiber. In my apartment, cat6 cables were laid into homes from network room in the ground floor. Since Jio is built on GPON network and it needs Gpon-ONT device at home as in fiber to home theoretically.

Currently my option is to place ONT/ONU device in the network room and plug RJ45 to the ONT and use internet at my home and connect twisted pair to ONT and use phone too. This is insecure as ONT is left open in the network room and anyone can connect to the device and use internet.

Is it possible to patch the fiber with SFP-to-RJ45 module in the network room and use RJ45-to-SFP module to bring it back to fiber mode and have the ONT device at home?
 
You could use a media converter to convert the GPON signal to an ethernet one and then bypass the concealed cat6 cabling all together.

EDIT: Just realized that I responded to a thread from 2020!
