This is why I ask. I'd rather ask a stupid question than build something stupid.

Out of curiosity, why terminate serveral connectors?  Spares?

One of the main advantages of fiber to the home, at least in the case of an internal ONT, is that there are no electronics on the outside of the house and no electrical pathway inside.

You'll likely also want to preterminate several connectors on the outside of the home on the fiber side... So you'll need a place to store those. Likely don't have the right setup for that with their box.

For FTTH, Mikrotik makes a $39 outdoor media converter.

If I use a drop cable with a tight buffered fiber inside, I could put an SOC right on it and plug it directly into the media converter. No interconnect box, no splice tray.

Is this idea retarded?
