Hi everyone!
I'm looking for some information on the type of fiber optic cable that I need for the particular ONT that I have.
As a preface to some concerns that I have seen in other posts, I do completely acknowledge that the ONT and provided cable is the property of Verizon. As such I am fully responsible for any and all damages and Verizon is under no obligation to provide any support to me for any adjustments I make.
Now onto my question! I have a bit an odd situation in my aparment in that half the electrical circuit of the apartment is connected to my neighbors breaker box, and the other half to mine. The apartment is old and the half connected to my neighbors breaker has a very low tolerance for current. I have tried to mitigate these occurrences, but accidents with room-mates and guests make it difficult to account for everything and my neighbor is not always avaialble to flip the breaker in their box. The big problem is I work from home and working off a hot-spot isn't a good work-around. I have thought of also using a UPS, but another concern is the power-draw from charging the UPS might also in itself, flip the breaker.
For my particular installation my ONT (alcatel-lucent i-211M-I) is inside my apartment on the half that runs through the neighbors breaker. The fiber optic cable terminates with the same connector to the ONT and to the port in my wall. What I am looking for in a contingency is to get a long enough length of fiber optic cable to temporarily run from one end of the apartment to the other to maintain my internet connection.
I hoping for some technical details as to the kind of cable I would need, the proper name of the connector that the ONT uses, and if it really would be as simple as moving the box to another electrical outlet and running the longer optic cable from the box back to the port in the wall.
