Routers can also connect to indoor fiber optic cables
As internet speeds continue to evolve, fiber optic broadband is becoming the gold standard for ultra-fast and reliable internet connections. This conversion happens either through an Optical Network Terminal (ONT) or directly via specialized router ports. The expansion of fiber optic internet into homes provides faster speeds and greater connection reliability than traditional copper-based services. Data travels as light pulses through thin glass or plastic fibers, allowing for high bandwidth capacity and minimal latency. A fiber cable (drop) is run from a nearby terminal that could be either a pole or an underground box) to your home. The type of connector used will depend on the specific application and the devices involved.
