[Solved] Extending Fiber Optic Connection: Huawei Echolife HG8546M Router, 15-20m Extension & Setup

Hello, I have a fiber optic connection terminated at home with a huawei echolife hg8546m router (gpon onu) and I need to move it to the attic where I have a cabinet where all the Ethernet cables connect and there will also be a gigabit switch and / or wireless router. How can I extend the optical fiber to the attic to split the signal? I mean ready-made solutions such as a fiber optic extension cable with a length of, for example, 15-20m.

Patchcord, adapter and box.

Thanks for the answer, but please kindly ask for names or links where I will collect the set.
Regards

Do you know what type of optical fiber do you have?

Hello, unfortunately not, in this respect I am unfortunately a layman, that's why this question is on the forum because I do not know what to do next. If it is possible to determine it after the photo, I will take a photo next weekend.

So do but probably single-mode, look at patchcords e.g. here

I will be at the house at the weekend, I will do the appropriate documentation so that it can be clearly stated what is there and what can be done with it. For now, thank you for paying attention to what to look at, but I guess there are ready-made elements that will bring me closer to my goal. Regards

By the way, why wasn't it brought to its destination?

According to the project, it was the destination (garage) and after interior arrangement it looks different. I do not want to combine it anymore, so I want to buy a ready-made product.

I can provide exact details after obtaining information whether the optical fiber is single-mode or multi-mode.
Additionally, consider whether it is better to contact the operator to change the place of service installation under the contract. The consequence of independent upgrades may be a malfunction of the service and then the operator may withdraw from the complaint because the actual (in the operator's documentation and systems) will be listed in the previous location and technicians are required to provide the signal and remove the failure to this place.

You can always use a media converter and run the twisted pair cable from the router to the cabinet.

Thank you for your answers, next weekend I will be there and I will inspect (and take photos) and in the meantime I will contact the supplier if he can provide such a service (I did not think about this option, in fact, the simplest one).

if this router does not go where it lies, I would not touch the optical fiber, but just let the normal network cable go to the box wherever you want and that's it. and with this box a second router or switch

This is not about optical fiber, because currently operators only use single-mode optical fibers. These are the connectors that have been used on both ends, that is, on the end of the optical fiber and on the side of the active device. Since you do not know what these connectors are, you need to remove both ends. You need to buy exactly the same fiber optic bundle with the length you need.

I would opt for it too - especially since the twisted pair costs pennies.
If you want to extend the light, there is a place for it, instead put a twisted pair in the same place.

Hello, thank you for the idea of contacting the service provider. Will extend the cost of the material to the destination. The problem is solved, so I close it.
