Is the network cable plugged into the router or the fiber optic cable

It is a 'standard' single-mode fiber cable with an SC-APC connector at the end. You can't 'really' connect it directly to a random consumer router in most cases - it's meant to go into an optical fibre device. To connect your fiber optic cable to a router, ensure you have the following: Fiber optic modem (ONT): Most fiber connections require an Optical Network Terminal (ONT), provided by your ISP. The ONT converts the light from th e fiber into electrical signals that run via an ethernet cable. The problem is that the cable in the image below is connecting to my router, and the ASUS one has no input for such cable: What is this called? Can I find some adapter from this type of cable to RJ45 which the Asus Router supports.
