Transform Gigabit RJ45 to Fiber Optic Using SFP Media Converters

Fiber optic link has many advantages, such as fast speed, people tend to choose it to connect some IP devices to the router by using fiber optic cable. However, fiber optic cable cannot link to the router directly. This video will tell you how to make the RJ45 port on the router to use with fiber optic cable. You will learn how to finish the setup with plug-and-play installation.

finally found the correct video explaining the connecting from fibre optic using media converter, thank you!!

[jonathanbailey]

That was an extremely well executed video well done clear concise and extremely well explained thank you so much for the time and also the preparation that went into it.

[pajodato]

Very clear!. I got a 50m spool of fiber cable, divided it carefully (you can split them using your hands carefully and got the A cable and the B cable pointing to different buildings in my compound area). So I got a fiber optic connection on two other buildings. The speed is 2.5GB per second, it works nicely for 2 TVs and 7 computers in the LAN. It works 24/7 with any issues. Thanks dude!

Again, a great video. Thanks for this. I learn so much every time you publish a new one!

Great video. I’ve been trying to wrap my head around different website directions and Amazon pages, but your video really synthesized all the information for me and now it all makes sense!



I just set up a connection in Spain using Movistar which utilises an SC/ACP fiber cable. The router they provide does include a direct fiber connection but the router is not the best. They now offer a WiFi 6 router (50€) and extenders (in Spanish: amplificador) for 50-100€. I think adding an extender or repeater would cause a significant loss in transmission speed for the work that I do.

Please let me know if my thinking is correct:

I will use my ASUS WiFi 6 router instead of the ISP’s default router and it has Ethernet ports. I will use a single-mode SFP media converter because only ONE fiber optic cable is needed as I just learned from you that it utilises different wavelengths for sending and receiving data. I will then use an Ethernet cable to connect the media converter to the router. This should ensure direct fiber speeds into my ASUS router, correct?

Sorry kid but I've been doing this for the last 10 years! Don't get me wrong but this is the best connections especially for gamers and streamers and streaming videos. I use the multi mode convertors instead of single mode.

Id like to see 10gbe versions !! THEN id be all over this !!

So I got this issue too. When I got fibre optic for my house it came with this Huawei router that actually had the fiber optic port but the router itself is horrible and only send a max of 150mbps and the WiFi falls away to 60mbps after 1m. This fibre cable comes straight from the wall.

Yesterday I bought a new WIFI6 router and lo and behold no fibre optic entry (I didn't know I needed one. Thought it was LAN to LAN). Now I've been trying to figure out which fibre optic cable I even have! It's a single one and not with 2 cables like the one in the video. I'm seeing sooo many different converters online and I'm so lost. Going to the electronic shops here like Mediamarkt and they can't even help me as fibre optic is super new in Spain and they sell no adapters so I'd have to order them online but... I don't know which one. Do you happen to know?? It's a single, very small cable with this weird round entry point 😢

My router also acts as a modem. I have fiber connection and my router has under it somewhere where i can plug the fiber optic. From there, i can use both wifi, coax and ethernet. The problem is its old. Still Wifi 4 and i want to go to Wifi 6 but i can't find any router or modem to plug the fiber optic. If you have any suggestions, i'm all ears.

[PANDORURMIL]

How long distance it will transmit data ?
If I'll use 2KM long fiber cable then it will helpful or not ?

[nourhusein]

can my internet speed be affected by the media converter speed. For example: I got a 500/500 subscription but I am only getting 100mbps(89-99) while my media converter is only 10/100M. Thank you!!

[trashman]

Would I just need on of these if I have a POE switch with a SFP port?

How to convert from fiber optic cable to RJ 11 ?

[MsRobertsala]

Can I get rid-off my ISP's fiber optic router and connect the ONT line that comes directly into the house to the converter and the converter to my DECO XE-75 PRO? Currently, I have the ISP's router connected to the fiber optic line and the ethernet cable connected to the WAN's port of the DECO XE-75 PRO. The DECO XE-75 PRO then connects to other XE-75 access points as a mesh network. In order to connect the primary DECO XE-75 PRO to the ISP's router, I had to clone the MAC address of the ISP's primary mesh wifi router. My goal is to return the ISP's router and have the fiber optic line connect directly to the primary DECO XE-75 PRO.

Hi, im using media converter latest, but one modem is working via internet company configuration and another one modem is config by another company in another place minimum 1kilometer, i want to connect via wifi... But not working... they showing no internet access... Wat s the option to connect mobile in wifi
