Are there TP-Link devices compatible with FTTH? Directly using the fiber optic cable

I want to replace the modem\router provided by the ISP and I'm browsing for products which can give me more flexibility in configuration.

The provided modem\router has a female optical port (I guess it's called SFP or ONI, I still have to understand that) and all the products I am seeing here have an ethernet WAN port.

 

Given that FTTH has been around for a while I am wondering why there aren't many products compatible with a direct fiber optic connection, I see most of the TP-Link products claim to be FTTH compatible but I am prone to believe that's reffered to the bandwidth and not the real hardware connection. Am I missing something?

 

How can I use a TP-Link device which has an ethernet WAN when all I have is a fiber optic cable coming out from the wall?

 

 

The modem-router pic and the fiber optic cable are attached.

Hey

 

I could be wrong, but I do not think TP Link have a direct to Fibre FTTP router at present.   Their current solutions all require a modem or device similar to your current for WAN connectivity.
