Optical connection

Dear gurus.,

I planning to change conenction from ADSL to optical and I see that in Orbi Router port is not exist. I also read note, that ORBI need to be connected via Ethernet cabel, but I see that exist many converters, for example 

TP-Link Gigabit SFP to RJ45 Fiber Media Converter, Fiber to Ethernet Converter 10/100/1000Mbps RJ45 Port to 1000Base-SX Multi-Mode Fiber (MC200CM) Black

(link to Amazon -> https://www.amazon.com/TP-Link-Ethernet-Converter-Multi-Mode-MC200CM/dp/B003AVRLZI?language=en_US&th...)

Then could I connect optic to this converter and take output to same port into ORBI router.

Thanks for willing to help 

Best regards

B.S.

Re: Optical connection

Most fibre providers give you either an ONT or a gateway that converts from fibre to ethernet. 

Before buying anything, I'd check with your ISP on what they're going to provide.
