The Ethernet services are presented in different ways depending on the link speed you have requested.
===100Mb/s===
For 100Mbit/s links (and below) the service is presented using a normal Ethernet (copper) RJ45 connector. You use a normal cat-5 Ethernet patch lead to connect this to your switch, router or firewall as you required.
IMPORTANT the
Cabling is a straight through cat5e patch lead to your managed switch.
===1Gb/s===
For 1Gbit/s bearers, the connection from the Openreach NTE to the customer equipment is presented using multimode mode fibre on LC connectors. A suitable SFP for the customer equipment would be a 550m MMF 850nm SX SFP and a length of multimode cable with LC connectors at each end. your router/switch would also need a SFP port. We can supply a suitable SFP and cable if you require.
The Openreach NTE does have a copper RJ45 port as well as an SFP port for connection to the customer router - however, the copper port is disabled by Openreach and the fibre port should be used.
This link should be used with an auto-negotiation port which is the default for gigabit links
