Setting up the FRITZ!Box for use with a fibre optic connection from DELTA

The FRITZ!Box is optimally prepared for use with DELTA. Simply connect the FRITZ!Box to the fibre optic connection, select DELTA as the internet service provider in the FRITZ!Box, and configure telephony.

The complete FRITZ!Box range of functions for internet, telephony, and smart home is then available to all of the devices in your home network without restriction.

Requirements / Restrictions

  • AON or GPON fibre optic connection. The FRITZ!Box cannot be used directly with XGS-PON fibre optic connections.

    NoteOn an XGS-PON connection you can configure the FRITZ!Box for the internet connection via 'WAN' and use it behind the fibre optic modem from the internet service provider.

Note:All instructions on configuration and settings given in this guide refer to the latest FRITZ!OS for the FRITZ!Box.

1 Connecting the FRITZ!Box to your fibre optic connection

  1. Remove the dust protection caps from the fibre optic cable, the SFP module in the FRITZ!Box, and from the fibre optic socket.
  2. Connect the fibre optic cable to the SFP module in the FRITZ!Box and to the fibre optic socket. Do not bend the fibre optic cable and do not hold the ends of the cable in front of your eyes.

    Note:Some fibre optic connections use a fibre terminating unit from Attema which requires a special fibre optic cable that is clamped into a carriage in the socket. Such cables are available from vendors. You can find information on selecting a suitable cable in our guide Which fibre optic cable do I need?
