Fiber box DTI in the electrical panel

Hello,

I'm going to change my internet provider and the new box won't fit in the electrical panel: in fact, the fiber box is directly inside the electrical panel.

Until today, there have been no issues since the box fits in the panel and I can connect my house completely via ethernet.

Now I'm going to change the box and it no longer fits in the panel. Is there a solution to place the box elsewhere in the house? Knowing that I have 4 ethernet ports in the house connected to the electrical panel but not to the fiber box.

Hello,

It may depend on the box you are going to use. For some, you connect the fiber directly to the box, so you can't relocate the box. For others, between the fiber arrival unit (PTO) and the box, there may be an intermediate unit (ONT) that can output via Ethernet, which then allows placing the box in a room with an RJ45 wall socket.

This solution does not allow for powering other wall sockets with Ethernet.

What is your future box?

Hi,

which box are you going to get, apart from Free with the v6 or the delta, the fiber boxes are rather smaller and able to fit in.

Otherwise, we'll manage to fix it to the wall or put a shelf next to the communication cabinet, because the real good place for the box, at least the main unit, is indeed in the cabinet, it's too bad that Free struggles to understand that.

Let's hope their V9 box will be capable of that.

And there you go, that's it ....

But misery, how annoying the line spacing is!!
