Overview
The Ubiquiti Wave-Fiber-ONU is a GPON Optical Network Unit designed for fiber access deployments. It provides an SC/APC GPON WAN interface and a 1/2.5 GbE RJ45 LAN interface for high-speed Ethernet connectivity.
GPON Performance
The WaveFiber ONU provides a nominal downstream optical interface rate of 2.488 Gbps and upstream rate of 1.244 Gbps, with a physical optical reach of up to 20 km. It uses 1310 nm transmit and 1490 nm receive wavelengths.
Ethernet and Power
The device provides one 1/2.5 GbE RJ45 LAN port and uses 24V passive PoE over two pairs for power. The supported input voltage range is 20–28V DC, with maximum power consumption of 5W.
Management and Network Functions
The Wave-Fiber-ONU operates as a Layer 2/3 ONU/ONT Ethernet switch and supports web management, NAT, bridging, routing, firewall functions, VLAN support, remote reset, remote reboot, and remote firmware upgrades.
Key Features
- GPON ONU with SC/APC WAN interface
- 1/2.5 GbE RJ45 LAN connectivity
- 2.488 Gbps downstream and 1.244 Gbps upstream optical rates
- Up to 20 km physical optical reach
- 24V passive PoE power with 5W maximum consumption
Applications
The Wave-Fiber-ONU can be deployed as customer-premises GPON equipment for fiber access networks, providing optical-to-Ethernet conversion where a 2.5 GbE LAN connection is required.
DC Supplies Product Note
The optical WAN interface uses an SC/APC connector and GPON signaling. The connected optical infrastructure must therefore provide compatible GPON service and SC/APC fiber connectivity.
