Hello,
The fiber optic has just been installed in my house (the installer placed the fiber box right next to the electrical panel). I have a DTI box and RJ 45 sockets in every room. I would like to use this Ethernet network to bring internet access to the bedrooms via Ethernet (and at the same time hide the fiber and internet box in the cupboard where the electrical panel is located).
I would like to know which cables to connect as I am a novice.
Thank you very much for your help.

Hi,
if the installer has set up the fiber box (the PTO or DTIO), he must have connected the box to it already to at least test it, right?
The fiber box does not connect to the DTI but to the PTO, possibly using an intermediate ONT box that basically converts the fiber to Ethernet.
This ONT can be integrated into the box, which is becoming more and more common.
Then, it's just a matter of connecting the Ethernet and phone ports of the box to your 5 patch panel sockets with patch cables.
There is already a cable at the right socket; let's assume it connects the master filter to the socket where your ADSL box is connected?

Yes, the technician did the tests and installed a second PTO in the living room (the main one being next to the electrical panel).
So if I understand correctly, I connect the fiber optic cable from the PTO (the white box at the bottom in image 1) to the ONT (image 2)?
Then I connect the ONT to the internet box.
I have no idea what the Ethernet cable on the right is for; it was already connected when we arrived in the house.
Once that’s done, I would like to know where to connect my Ethernet cables, on the rack at the top with the 5 white Ethernet cables in horizontal or the one at the bottom with 4 black Ethernet cables side by side and 1 above?
Sorry for these questions; I just want to avoid making a mistake.
There's only one per subscription, and even one can receive several fibers.
It's the white box under your patch panel.
The black box must be the ONT; it would be better to relocate it with the PTO and your box in the patch panel, but the issue is the small fiber cable connecting the PTO and ONT, so you need to be careful not to damage it, it's quite fragile.
You should have told them that you wanted to place your box in the patch panel, not where it is now.
Either you have them come back if they agree, or you buy a fiber jumper to put between the PTO and the ONT.
If you were lucky enough to have multiple RJ45s in the living room, you could leave the ONT where it is.
Are you keeping the same box?
