A field technician is deploying a new high-speed fiber-to-the-premises (FTTP) internet connection for a commercial client. The Internet Service Provider (ISP) has terminated a single-mode fiber optic cable inside the facility's main telecommunications room. However, the client's internal network router only features copper 1000BASE-T RJ-45 Ethernet WAN ports. Which hardware device must be installed at the demarcation point to convert the optical signals into electrical Ethernet signals for the edge router?

Cevap
An Optical Network Terminal (ONT) is required at the demarcation point to convert incoming fiber optic signals from the ISP into copper RJ-45 Ethernet signals compatible with the router's WAN interface.
In fiber-to-the-premises (FTTP) telecommunication installations, an Optical Network Terminal (ONT) serves as the modem/demarcation device. It converts incoming light pulses from the ISP fiber cable into electrical signals delivered over a standard RJ-45 Ethernet connection to the customer's router.
