If that is a real product, could someone tell me what it is so I can research it?

I believe that Proxmox does this because I have installed/created containers from their available images. I wonder how they create those container images?

The cool thing about 1310nm light is that it will pass down either multimode or single mode fiber.

At that short of a distance, you should be able to use MM 1310nm SFPs.

As long as the SFPs can do the signalling speed needed by the link then I see no reason why it shouldn’t work.

I don't know. Some online forums are kind of sus, if you know what I mean. ;-) Usually, the ONT and the OLT are made by the same manufacturer ie: Alcatel Lucent. That means they are a matched pair because they speak their own digital dialect. Therefore, if you change the ONT then you are not guaranteed that they will understand each other.

In other words, I don’t recommend it.

That ONT is going to be a managed network endpoint. Their head-end system talks to it and sets up the configuration for the optical pathway. It is essential that it is not removed. If you replace it with something else then you will not get service.

I believe that you should be able to replace anything else downstream from the ONT. So that router can be replaced with whatever can handle the traffic flow. If it were my setup then I would replace it with my pfsense firewall box.

By the way, is this the kind of fiber cable you were thinking of? https://a.co/d/iJ0guG1

In 1999, I bet he was running Gentoo.

I don’t get it.

What?!

Love that third arm! Super creepy!
