Using Optical Network Port on a Lumin U2

I am looking to use the Optical Network Port on a Lumin U2 Streamer.

I have a 50 ft cable run that already has CAT 6A cable.

I will be adding the SOtM 10GB switch and need advice on hook up options.

Either:

1) Get a Ethernet to Fiber converter to plug the existing cable into then > Fiber to the Lumin U2.

2) Run a Fiber optic cable from the SFP port of the SOtM 10G switch to the Fiber optical network port on a Lumin U2 Streamer.

Which option should I use and what gear / cable(s) do I need?

Budget would be up to or around $1000

I got the LinkUp Ethernet and whatever the generic fiber I found….my order… https://a.co/d/doIvRLK https://a.co/d/eS0SW4O https://a.co/d/5XfhlSj Can’t tell you anything about fiber optic cables but that LinkUp Ethernet cable is really nice
