Just in the process of getting ours installed today. Again an ADVA FSP150-GE102Pro unit as per the OP. Openreach fibre's not quite installed, so just pulled the SFP's in the NTE out to have a quick squiz.
Network SFP is an Adva 1000BaseBX10 BiDi optics, 1310nm receive and 1490nm transmit with simplex SC presentation.
Access SFP is an Adva 1000BaseLX 1310nm single-mode with duplex LC presentation.
When we're up and running I'll swap out the LX SFP above with a generic 1GB DAC cable direct to our router, to see if the ADVA grumbles.
Did the generic 1GB DAC work with the ADVA?
I've got a link working with the supplied SFP. I'll try out the DAC, possibly tomorrow, at least initially to check the link comes up. Service is not live yet.

Did you take note of the actual Adva part numbers of the optics that you could share, please?
They will be ten digit numbers, something like -- 0061003015
I did yes.
Adva 1000BaseBX10 BiDi (Network SFP) is 0061003015
Adva 1000BaseLX 1310nm (Access SFP) is 0061003008

Adva 1000BaseLX 1310nm (Access SFP) is 0061003008 Thank you for sharing. That aids my understanding of the EAD product.

Me again...did you get a chance to test the DAC?
I'm keen to know as I have BTNet wires only being installed shortly, and I need to know what to buy for the SFP to my edgerouter.

Not properly, as the install was stalled for a few days last week whilst external cabling issues were sorted.
Openreach have been back in again this morning completing the internal fibre cabling from the external/internal splice point to the cabinet. Fingers crossed, will hopefully be able to test properly later on.
What SFP interface have you actually ordered with your service?

I've ordered the 1000/1000 service from BT and I specifically asked if they would let me use the RJ45 on the ADVA to my router. Let's just say I didn't get a clear answer. I'm never going to go above 1000/1000 with BT, as it's a backup line to my other leased line with Virgin.
So to cater for everything, in case the RJ45 is not enabled, I have ordered the 1GB 10GTek DAC as mentioned in the thread, and I also ordered a 10GTEK 1GB to 1000Base-T.
https://www.amazon.co.uk/10Gtek-Gigabit-SFP-DAC-Cabl...
https://www.amazon.co.uk/SFP-GE-T-1000Base-T-Transce...
I'll be plugging into an EdgeRouter 12 which I've mostly configured already on the RJ45 port, but can easily switch to SFP port if that is going to be required. I'm pretty confident that both the DAC and SFP will work with the EdgeRouter, but whether it works with the ADVA is the big unknown.....

The Adva *might* work with either the built-in RJ45 port, the DAC or the 1000baseT SFP. Fingers crossed for you that it does.
However, the much better (and cheaper) solution would have been to buy a 1000baseLX SFP to plug into your Edgerouter, and an LC to LC single mode duplex fibre patch cable (LX = single mode). From fs.com that would have set you under £10 in total, plus postage.
More importantly, it leaves the demarcation point in the Adva exactly as BT supplied it, and there's no risk of setting off alarms in their monitoring systems for replacing the customer-side SFP that they installed.

Apologies for not providing an update sooner, but the internal cabling today, which started out quite straightforward, ended up going horribly pear shaped by the end of it. There’s still no service running, so I can’t really test the interoperability of different pluggables on the ADVA with a live service.
If you ordered an LX class SFP with your service then easiest thing as candlerb says is to get a matching 1310nm LX SFP for your router and a duplex LC single mode patch lead.

Thanks both.
Ignoring the price, would this be the one?
https://www.amazon.co.uk/10Gtek-Singlemode-Transceiv...
and this with it

Always buy via Amazon and don’t mind paying a few extra quid.
