Ubiquiti UISP Fiber XG-PON ONU/ONT

Description

XG-PON — A Different Class of Fibre CPE

This is not a GPON device. The UISP-FIBER-XG uses an ITU-G.987 XG-PON WAN port, delivering a total non-blocking line rate of 9.95 Gbps downstream and 2.44 Gbps upstream — roughly 4× the downstream capacity of standard GPON (which tops out at 2.488 Gbps). XG-PON is the next-generation asymmetric PON standard, suited to high-density ISP deployments where GPON bandwidth is being exhausted, or to commercial and enterprise premises where a single subscriber genuinely needs multi-gigabit throughput.

The SC/APC WAN port operates at TX 1270 nm / RX 1577 nm with a normal TX range of 2 to 7 dBm and RX range of −9 to −27 dBm, using scrambled NRZ line coding, at a maximum physical reach of 20 km.

2.5 GbE LAN — No Bottleneck at the Premises

The LAN port is a 100/1000/2500 MbE auto-negotiating RJ45, meaning the XG-PON’s substantial downstream capacity can actually flow through to your downstream router or switch — provided that equipment also has a 2.5 GbE port. A 1 GbE LAN port would cap the link at one-tenth of what the PON connection can carry; Ubiquiti have avoided that here.

Designed for the UISP-FIBER-OLT-XGS — and Only That

The UISP-FIBER-XG is only compatible with the UISP Fiber OLT XGS (UISP-FIBER-OLT-XGS) and cannot be used with third-party OLTs. This is a firm Ubiquiti ecosystem constraint. The OLT-XGS supports XGS-PON, XG-PON, and GPON ports simultaneously, so existing GPON CPE (WaveFiber ONU, UF-WiFi6) can coexist on the same OLT while select premises are upgraded to XG-PON with the Fiber XG.

⚠️ XG-PON only — not GPON. This unit requires an XG-PON port on the OLT. It will not register on a GPON-only OLT such as the UF-OLT or UF-OLT-4. Confirm your OLT supports XG-PON before purchasing.

Optical Signal LEDs

The three-LED PON signal indicator follows the same pattern as other UISP fibre CPE: all off during bootup; 1× orange for signal too low (below −27 dBm); 1× white for low signal (≥ −27 dBm); 2× white for good (≥ −24 dBm); 3× white for strong (≥ −12 dBm); 1× orange + 2× white for too strong (≥ −9 dBm); 3× orange for no signal.

Power, Form Factor, and Compliance

The unit measures 100 × 100 × 27 mm and weighs 220 g, housed in UV-stabilised polycarbonate. Power is via USB-C 5V/3A (included adapter) or 24V passive PoE (2-pair, pins 4/5+; 7/8−, 10–30V DC range). Maximum power consumption is 6W. Memory is 256 MB DDR with 32 MB NOR flash. The device is NDAA compliant and certified CE, FCC, and IC.
