When preparing to install a new fiber-optic internet service in a customer's home, which device must be installed at the customer's premises to interface between the fiber-optic network and the home's internal wired network?
An Optical Network Terminal (ONT) is required at the customer's premises to convert the fiber optic light signals to electrical Ethernet signals that can be used by the home's wired network. The ONT's role is to provide an endpoint for the fiber optic cable and then offer a connection point for a router or switch to distribute the Internet service within the home network.
