Most GPON ONUs ship with a 1 GbE LAN port, which becomes the bottleneck on high-speed fibre plans — GPON’s 2.488 Gbps downstream capacity is wasted the moment it hits a 1 Gbps Ethernet port. The WaveFiber ONU addresses this directly with a 1/2.5 GbE auto-negotiating RJ45 LAN port, delivering up to 2.5 Gbps downlink and 1.2 Gbps uplink, provided your downstream router or switch also has a 2.5 GbE port to terminate it. For ISPs offering gigabit-plus tier plans, this is the unit that makes those speeds usable end-to-end.

GPON Specifications

The WaveFiber ONU is compliant with the ITU-G.984 GPON standard, with downstream at 2488.32 Mbit/s (1490 nm) and upstream at 1244.16 Mbit/s (1310 nm), over an SC/APC WAN port at a maximum physical reach of 20 km. Optical TX output is 1.5 to 5 dBm; RX sensitivity ranges from −8 to −28 dBm, with GEM Port Encryption for security at the optical layer.

UISP Platform Integration

The unit supports auto-discovery and remote provisioning via standard OMCI protocols and integrates with the Ubiquiti UISP platform for unified monitoring, customer diagnostics, and performance management across large ONU fleets. Remote reset, remote reboot, remote firmware upgrade, and VLAN support are included, along with a web server, telnet access, NAT, bridging and routing, firewall features, and application passthrough.

OLT Compatibility

Supported OLTs are the UISP-FIBER-OLT-XGS, UF-OLT, and UF-OLT-4. This is a Ubiquiti ecosystem device — it is designed for and tested against Ubiquiti OLT hardware. Use with third-party OLTs may work via standard OMCI but is not officially supported.

Ubiquiti GPON ecosystem only. This ONU is intended for networks where the OLT is also Ubiquiti (UISP-FIBER-OLT-XGS, UF-OLT, or UF-OLT-4). It is not recommended for deployments on third-party OLT infrastructure without confirming OMCI interoperability.

Optical Signal LEDs

A distinctive feature is the three-LED PON signal strength indicator: all off during bootup; 1× red for signal too low (below −28 dBm); 1× white for low signal (≥ −28 dBm); 2× white for good signal (≥ −25 dBm); 3× white for strong signal (≥ −11 dBm); and 1× red + 2× white for signal too strong (≥ −8 dBm). This makes fibre alignment and fault diagnosis at the premises genuinely fast without a separate optical power meter.

Power and Form Factor

The unit measures 76.5 × 76.5 × 26.4 mm and weighs 78 g, with a polycarbonate enclosure supporting desktop or wall mounting. Power is via 24V passive PoE (2-pair, 4/5+; 7/8−), with a supported voltage range of 20–28V DC and a maximum power consumption of 5W. A PoE adapter is included with single-unit purchases; multi-packs (5- and 20-unit) do not include individual adapters.

The UF-WiFi6 consolidates the ONU and the customer’s Wi-Fi router into a single device. Where the WaveFiber ONU hands off to a separate router, this unit terminates the fibre and serves wireless clients directly. It runs on a dual-core MIPS 1004 Kc processor at 900 MHz with 256 MB RAM, providing the headroom for Layer 2/3 management, NAT, routing, firewall, and application passthrough alongside active Wi-Fi.

GPON Specifications

The unit conforms to ITU-G.984 GPON with 2.488 Gbps downstream and 1.244 Gbps upstream via a single SC/APC WAN port, at up to 20 km reach. Like the WaveFiber ONU, it uses the same 3-LED optical signal strength indicator for quick fibre alignment feedback at the premises — all off during bootup, shading from orange (too low/no signal) through one, two, and three whites for increasing signal quality, and orange+2 white for too strong.

Wi-Fi 6 — 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz

Wireless runs 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6) on both bands: 2.4 GHz with 2×2 MIMO at up to 300 Mbps, and 5 GHz with 2×2 MU-MIMO and OFDMA at up to 1.2 Gbps — a combined 1.5 Gbps aggregate wireless throughput. Internal antennas provide 1 dBi gain on 2.4 GHz and 3 dBi on 5 GHz. WPA3 is supported alongside WPA/WPA2 for client compatibility.

Four GbE LAN Ports

Four Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 LAN ports provide wired connectivity — double the two ports on the TP-Link XC220-G3, and matching the XC220-G3v, without the VoIP FXS port. The LAN ports are standard 1 GbE; this unit does not have a 2.5 GbE LAN port (that’s the WaveFiber ONU’s differentiator).

Power Options

The UF-WiFi6 can be powered either via the included 5V DC 3A USB-C adapter (1.5 m cord) or via 24V passive PoE (2-pair, 4/5+; 7/8−), with a supported voltage range of 10–30V DC. Maximum power consumption is 11W. The dual power options give installers flexibility — USB-C where a standard power point is available, passive PoE where the unit is mounted remotely from power.

UISP Management and OLT Compatibility

The UF-WiFi6 integrates with the Ubiquiti UISP platform for unified monitoring, remote provisioning via OMCI, remote reset, remote reboot, and remote firmware upgrades.

Ubiquiti OLT ecosystem only. This device is only compatible with Ubiquiti Fiber OLT hardware and cannot be used with third-party OLTs. Confirmed compatible OLTs are the UF-OLT, UF-OLT-4, and UISP-FIBER-OLT-XGS.

The UF-OLT is an eight-port GPON optical line terminal designed to manage fibre internet service for up to 1,024 clients at 128 per port. Each GPON OLT SFP port operates at 2488.32 Mbit/s downstream and 1244.16 Mbit/s upstream, at TX 1490 nm / RX 1310 nm using scrambled NRZ line coding, at a maximum physical reach of 20 km. VLAN support spans 4,062 VLANs with 8 priority queues per user port and traffic classification for advanced QoS.

GPON SFP modules sold separately. The eight PON ports are SFP slots. Ubiquiti’s own GPON OLT SFP modules (UF-GP-B+) are the recommended match — sold separately. Third-party Class B+ SFPs may work but are not officially supported.

Dual 10G SFP+ Uplinks

Two 10 Gbps SFP+ uplink ports provide backbone connectivity, with LED indicators distinguishing 10G (white) from 1G (green) link speed at a glance. With 1,024 potential GPON subscribers behind the OLT, the dual 10G uplinks allow for link aggregation or active/standby redundancy to the aggregation layer.

Hot-Swap Redundant Power Supplies

Power is provided by two hot-swappable AC/DC PSUs in a universal 100–240V input configuration, with a maximum power consumption of 40W (excluding SFP modules). One AC PSU is included; the second bay accepts an additional PSU for full redundancy — ordered separately. Both bays also support DC/DC power modules (RPS-DC-100W) for DC-powered environments such as telco cabinets.

Management — UISP Platform, Bluetooth, Out-of-Band

Management interfaces include one Ethernet out-of-band port, one Ethernet in-band port, one RJ45 serial console port, and Bluetooth. Bluetooth enables touchless provisioning and initial setup without needing physical console or network access — a practical feature for field technicians commissioning remote OLT deployments. Full management runs through the UISP platform and UISP mobile app, covering ONU registration, monitoring, firmware updates, and service provisioning.

Ubiquiti GPON CPE Compatibility

The UF-OLT is the native OLT for the Ubiquiti GPON CPE lineup. Compatible CPE includes the WaveFiber ONU (Wave-Fiber-ONU), UF-WiFi6, UF-WIFI, UF-LOCO, and UF-Nano. The UISP-FIBER-XG, UISP-FIBER-XGS, and XGS-PON CPE require the UISP-FIBER-OLT-XGS instead.

GPON only. The UF-OLT does not support XGS-PON or XG-PON. For deployments requiring 10G PON or a migration path to XGS-PON, the UISP-FIBER-OLT-XGS is the appropriate choice.

Form Factor and Build

The enclosure is SGCC steel in a 1U rack form factor, measuring 442.4 × 285.6 × 43.7 mm and weighing 4.4 kg without mounting brackets. Operating temperature is −10°C to 45°C. The device is NDAA compliant and certified CE, FCC, and IC.
