Some partial information I found, none of these appears in any online
shop though:
Some Swisscom customers have apparently been given an SFP, it may be the
device below and maybe this would work in a Turris Omnia or cheap media
converter like the TP-link MC220L.
Metanoia MT-G5321 SFP

Various web sites mention these devices:
Huawei MT992
http://e.huawei.com/en/products/fixed-network/access/ft/mt992
Zyxel XMG5101-S10A
https://www.zyxel.com/products_services/G-fast-Bridge-Modem-with-1-port-GbE-Coaxial-XMG5101-S10A/overview
It is not clear if every device is backwards compatible, e.g. for
somebody on VDSL right now who wants to buy a device that will work with
VDSL now and automatically work on G.fast when the circuit is upgraded.
I also asked my ISP (Init7) but haven't had any feedback yet.
