Hey everyone,

is it possible to directly connect a incoming Glasfiber cable, from my ISP to a TP-link Router? So are there any GPON capable SFP+ modules?

Hi @Chris-Cross 

Thanks for posting in our business forum.

It depends. If your ISP provided fiber does not require additional modulation, then you can use a fiber converter to convert it to Ethernet and use it with the router. But if your ISP requires modulation, then you need a modem to modulate.

So, it depends. You should try it before making sure everything's up and running safe.

Hi,

you may not directly connect them with a fiber,you need a modem which supports fiber income

there are  SFP+ modules in sale but might  be compatibility issues.

It is better to buy a fiber modem to meet your needs

  @Applejack But the Router itself has already a modem integrated. Why is it not possible, to use a single mode SFP+ module and connect the glafiber directly to the Router?
