Ubiquiti WAVE-FIBER-ONU-5 – WaveFiber GPON ONU 2.5GbE 5-Pack
Overview
The Ubiquiti WAVE-FIBER-ONU-5 is a five-pack of WaveFiber GPON Optical Network Units designed for fiber access and customer-premises deployments. Each ONU provides one ITU-G.984 GPON WAN interface using SC/APC and one 1/2.5 GbE RJ45 LAN interface.
The ONU supports 2.488 Gbps downstream and 1.244 Gbps upstream line rates with a specified physical reach of up to 20 km. The unit operates as a Layer 2/3 Ethernet switch with bridging, routing, NAT, firewall features, VLAN support, and application passthrough functions.
Technical Information
The optical interface operates at 1310 nm transmit and 1490 nm receive wavelengths using scrambled NRZ line coding. The normal optical module range is 1.5 to 5 dBm transmit and -8 to -28 dBm receive.
Power is supplied through 24V passive PoE using a two-pair connection. The supported DC voltage range is 20–28V, with maximum power consumption of 5W per ONU. Management is provided through an in-band Ethernet interface, while software functions include monitoring, alarms, logs, remote reset, remote reboot, and remote firmware upgrade.
Compatibility
WAVE-FIBER-ONU-5 is a GPON ONU and must be connected to compatible GPON OLT infrastructure. Ubiquiti lists the WaveFiber ONU within its GPON fiber product range alongside the UF-OLT and UF-OLT-4. The optical WAN uses SC/APC and the LAN interface supports 1 GbE and 2.5 GbE Ethernet connections.
The five-pack is a quantity configuration of the WaveFiber ONU; each unit has the same technical specifications as the single WaveFiber ONU.
Key Features
- Five WaveFiber GPON ONU units in one package
- ITU-G.984 GPON WAN with SC/APC optical connector
- 1/2.5 GbE RJ45 LAN interface
- 2.488 Gbps downstream and 1.244 Gbps upstream line rates
- 24V passive PoE input with 20–28V DC operating range
Applications
WAVE-FIBER-ONU-5 is suited to GPON customer-premises deployments, fiber access networks, ISP subscriber installations, multi-unit buildings, and other deployments requiring multiple GPON ONUs with 2.5 GbE Ethernet handoff.
DC Supplies Product Note
Because this MPN is supplied as a five-pack, it is suited to deployments requiring multiple subscriber-side GPON endpoints. Confirm OLT compatibility, SC/APC fiber infrastructure, optical power levels, and the availability of compatible 24V passive PoE power before installation.
