I have to purchase a new ONT Fiber media converter and am not sure which ones will work for me as this is my first time dealing with fiber. I currently have a ADTRAN GPON 1287787f1 which uses a single yellow/green fiber and has only one port for fiber. Looking on amazon everything I am seeing has two ports for fiber being TX and RX so I'm thinking I am either looking at the wrong media converters or am not sure what will work for me. Can anyone point me in the right direction on if a two port converter would work or what I should be looking for in order to find a single port converter? Thanks for the help!

Why are you looking for a media converter? The ONT converts from fiber to RJ45. You should just be extending the RJ45. You can extend the single-mode fiber too but you shouldn't and it wouldn't require a media converter. The ONT should be your ISP's demark.
