Fiber to Ethernet RJ45

Hello everyone, I need your expertise as I'm still on ADSL and I'm switching to Orange fiber soon, but I would like to keep my Livebox in my living room and have the fiber box installed in my electrical room. Today, the DTI box is connected directly to my RJ45 in the living room. My question is, if the fiber box (DTIO or PTIO) is next to my wiring closet (which has only 3 ports), can I connect the fiber directly to this wiring closet by replacing the Livebox (which must interface between the two) with a fiber to Ethernet RJ45 media converter box, and thus power my 3 RJ45 outlets in my house while keeping the Livebox in my living room? Thank you again for your help as it's not simple.

Hello,
Today, DTI box connected to my living room RJ45 only directly We agree that it goes through the patch panel anyway?
In your living room, do you have two RJ45 sockets or just one?
Basically, your box should be at the communication cabinet, only the TV box in the living room.
If you want to move the box for the WiFi, get a repeater from Orange and connect it via Ethernet.
The fiber port of the switches you are showing is not compatible with the fiber port of the FTTH in terms of signals, plus it must be an SFP whereas an SFP+ is needed for internet over FTTH.
Furthermore, you will likely have a LB5 or a LB6/7, so with integrated ONT.
And there you go, here it is....
But gosh, those line breaks are so annoying!!
Thank you for all these details and for taking the time. In my living room, I only have one outlet, so that will be reserved for the TV decoder. I do have the Orange WiFi 6 repeater in my kitchen, but then my RJ45 socket will be on the TV decoder and the one in the office will be on my computer, so there will be no more room for the repeater, which will be insufficient to repeat the box signal in the garage because the walls are very thick in a country house; I had already tried.
You can add a little switch in the living room to the wall outlet and connect the repeater (it will then be an access point) via Ethernet to the box as well as the TV box.
So it's definitely a Livebox 5 and I just cancelled my old repeater to order version 6. If I put the Livebox in the garage to distribute it to my 3 patch RJ45 and in the living room I connect the Wi-Fi repeater in access point mode, that could work too. And on the repeater, there are 2 ethernet ports, so one to receive the signal from the box and the other can I connect the TV decoder to it? I’m not sure if I've been clear because the manual says that on the repeater you can connect a PC via ethernet but if I also use it as an access point. That will make 1 input port and 1 output port, strange right or possible? Thanks again.
Hello and thank you for taking the time to respond to me, so my idea for a converter won't work. Thank you, thank you.
