Is EE FTTP dual or simplex !?

[denede]

Hello guys,

Maybe someone could help me because i'm intending on jumping to the 1.6Gbps package and i need to know if the actual fiber cable, more exactly the end of the cable is dual or single because i'm intending on having my own wifi7 router with spf+ support and i need to know which transceiver to purchase.(don't really want to use the RJ45 socket) - (I wont use their provided hub)

At the moment as a common sense person and because most widely available cables/transceivers are dual i purchased a 10GB dual spf+ transceiver in the 1310nm wavelength.

Best Regards,

denede

oh no.. i need a higher wavelength is seems to max it out and be future proof

but do you have actual 2 cables[socket] going inside or just 1?

I didnt think you could bypass the ONT ?

[denede]

ohh really? you cannot take the cable directly and put it into your own ?

if that's true, that's so bad...

[JimM11]

@denede It's a single fibre cable!

[AHarMan2]

My understanding is the ONT has a serial number which is registered and used to activate the service ?

Happy to be wrong, but at a consumer level connection I don't think you can take the fibre straight to an spf router.

Maybe at a business level / business grade connection possibly.

[denede]

So its a simplex instead of a duplex. Good to know 

[denede]

Ive seen other company that is also on the openreach network giving normal asus or tp-link routers.. 

That means, in theory, you could have any router and just plug in the cables if are compatible with the sockets

Activating the service i think it's done on the outside box of the building.. 

I might be wrong

@denede  What is it you are trying to do?

The customer interface from Openreach’s Fibre network is an RJ45 socket on the ONT (fibre modem) , it is a 2.5Gb interface. You cannot connect in any other way. EE like other ISP’S allow you to connect to this interface  with third part routers.

You cannot use your own ONT, at least not without a lot more technical knowledge and information you can expect to get on a public forum.
