R9000 fiber optic connection
Hello i have a fiber optic subscription , what is the best ( and cheapest ) way to connect my R9000. Thanks
Sorry if i expressed myself incorrectly , wanted to know how i physically connect my R9000 . Through a converter ( optical to RJ45 ) or through SFP . Thanks again.

Depends on what level of throughput you are receiving from your optical network converter. On your R9000, the RJ45 Ethernet input is limited to 1 Gbps. If you have more than 1 Gbps coming out of your ONT, the SFP converter FURRYe38 mentioned is a good idea. Be sure and get a higher rated and shielded Ethernet cable like a Cat 6A to use with the converter.
Does your ONT have an optical output like the SFP?
