Inquiring About Possible Solution for TELUS PureFibre Installation Issues
I recently experienced a cancellation of my TELUS PureFibre installation due to the absence of a fibre connection from the outdoor telecommunication service box to my home's hub room. Currently, I on...

I am writing this post for those who are going through the same problem as me and struggling.
The solution I originally posted (shown below in the graphic) worked well, but I had to convince my installation technician to give a try SFP module into UFiber ActiveEthernet. I prepared everything (UFiber, PoE adopter, cables) before the technician came. Once he showed up I explained what my problem currently having, then asked him to bring SFP module to insert to UFiber. Activating SFP module took almost 30 minutes, I had to restart the UFiber multiple times, and the ethernet cable had to be connected to a device (in my case, it was connected with a MacBook with USB-c ethernet adopter) in the my media room. Finally the SFP module got activated and fed internet to my device, then I connected it into my router.
Finally I have Gigabit internet through TELUS Pure Fibre!
I've been considering a potential solution and would appreciate your thoughts on it. I'm contemplating the purchase of a UFiber Active Ethernet device - a fibre to Ethernet converter powered by Power Over Ethernet (POE). I believe that the POE adaptor could be installed in my hub room, while the UFiber device could be situated in the service box.

I have no idea if this maybe a solution for you. However, and this is the 64 dollar question. Would TELUS be willing to play along with an install like this.
I believe that technically you could extend the fibre signal via the CAT 6 to an endpoint. However you would be required to have a RJ45 capable router/firewall at that endpoint to utilize the feed, as well a POE injector to light the UFiber Active Ethernet device.
As this would remove all the TELUS equipment from the system, I'm sure that no support what soever would be contemplated by TELUS ever.
Again getting a low voltage contractor ( Network, Fibre, Alarm Tech/Installer) to pull fibre from the outside box to within your dwelling is the best solution, in my opinion. Cheers...
