Ubiquiti UF-WIFI6 – UFiber Fiber WiFi 6 GPON CPE
Overview
The Ubiquiti UF-WIFI6 is a UFiber Fiber WiFi 6 GPON customer-premises equipment device designed to provide fiber broadband connectivity with integrated dual-band WiFi 6 and four Gigabit Ethernet LAN ports. It combines a SC/APC GPON WAN interface with 802.11ax wireless networking for fiber deployments requiring both wired and wireless customer connectivity. The device supports GPON downstream line rates up to 2.488 Gbps and upstream line rates up to 1.244 Gbps, with physical fiber links extending up to 20 km. Its WiFi 6 radios provide 2 x 2 MIMO on both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands, with maximum radio rates of 300 Mbps and 1.2 Gbps respectively.
Technical Information
- ITU-G.984 GPON WAN connectivity through an SC/APC optical interface
- Four Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 LAN ports
- Dual-band 802.11ax WiFi 6 with 2 x 2 MIMO on 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz
- Up to 2.488 Gbps downstream and 1.244 Gbps upstream GPON line rates
- Layer 2/3 Ethernet switching, routing, NAT, firewall, VLAN, and application passthrough features
Fiber and Network Connectivity
The UF-WIFI6 provides one SC/APC GPON WAN port based on ITU-G.984 and four Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 LAN ports. The GPON optical interface operates at 1310 nm transmit and 1490 nm receive wavelengths, with a physical reach of up to 20 km.
The device provides a total non-blocking GPON line rate of 2.488 Gbps downstream and 1.244 Gbps upstream. It supports Ethernet in-band management and includes Layer 2/3 networking functions such as bridging, routing, NAT, firewall features, VLAN support, and application passthrough.
WiFi 6 Connectivity
The integrated wireless system supports 802.11b/g/n/ac/ax standards across the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands. Both radios use 2 x 2 MIMO. The 2.4 GHz radio supports a maximum rate of 300 Mbps, while the 5 GHz radio supports a maximum rate of 1.2 Gbps.
Wireless security includes WEP, WPA-PSK, and WPA-Enterprise with WPA, WPA2, and WPA3 support using TKIP/AES. Maximum transmit power is 20 dBm on both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz radios.
Power and Deployment
The UF-WIFI6 supports USB-C 5V DC power at 3A or 24V passive PoE. The included power adapter provides 5V DC at 3A with a 1.5 m cord. Maximum power consumption is 11W.
The compact UV-stabilized polycarbonate enclosure measures 140.8 x 141.5 x 31.7 mm and weighs 415 g. It operates from -15°C to 45°C with 10–90% noncondensing humidity.
Applications
The UF-WIFI6 is designed for GPON customer-premises deployments where fiber WAN access, Gigabit Ethernet connectivity, and integrated WiFi 6 are required in a single CPE platform. It is suitable for ISP and WISP fiber deployments, residential broadband installations, small offices, and customer premises requiring both wired and wireless access.
Key Features
- WiFi 6 dual-band wireless with 2 x 2 MIMO and up to 1.2 Gbps 5 GHz radio rate
- SC/APC ITU-G.984 GPON WAN interface with up to 2.488 Gbps downstream line rate
- Four Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 LAN ports for wired customer connectivity
- GPON physical reach of up to 20 km with 1310 nm TX and 1490 nm RX wavelengths
- USB-C 5V DC or 24V passive PoE power with 11W maximum consumption
DC Supplies Product Note
The UF-WIFI6 is a GPON fiber CPE with integrated WiFi 6 and Gigabit Ethernet connectivity, not a standalone power supply or conventional Ethernet-only router. It can be powered through the included 5V DC adapter or 24V passive PoE. The device requires a compatible GPON fiber infrastructure for its optical WAN connection.
