Yeah, I've actually picked up off brand ones from Amazon for some connections and they have been just fine. The ones from Unifi have been solid and worth it if you're already placing an order with them. B&H also sells their gear but for me it has been easier to direct order from Unifi's store.

For plugging fiber directly into the DMP, that depends on the provider and what they are willing to allow. Verizon FiOS required their ONT but not router. I've heard AT&T's Uverse requires their device too. I've also read some of there other providers (Qwest I think, don't hold me to it) have allowed direct connections. Typically the provider wants their gear being the first connection so they can easily troubleshoot the connection to your property if there is any issue. If the connection to their device is good, it must be on your end.

I wish I had the SE but it wasn't a thing when I bought my DMP. Not worth the upgrade for me now so I'll "slum" with the old OG DMP.
