I’ve preordered HAP AX3 as a router and I’m going to be connected by a GPON provider. They’re suggesting “Huawei HG8310M” for conversion from optic to metal. Can RBFTC11 do the same job? What else do I need to get? Can RBFTC11 be powered by the HAP AX3 POE OUT port? Does the POE work automatically or does it need to be specifically configured for RBFTC11 given it’s passive?
Generally the ISP will provide a ONU/ONT (Huawei HG8310M) that will serve as the bridge between their GPON network and their customers router. In this case you would plug the WAN side of the HAP AX3 into the ONU/ONT and you should be good to go.
To use the RBFTC11 with your ISP without the Huawei HG8310M you would need something like: https://www.fs.com/products/133619.html?attribute=2874&id=504269 You would need to verify that it is compatible with your ISP GPON system and if it is compatible with Mikrotik.
