Ubiquiti WAVE-FIBER-ONU-20 – WaveFiber GPON ONU 2.5GbE 20-Pack
Overview
The Ubiquiti WAVE-FIBER-ONU-20 is a 20-pack of WaveFiber GPON Optical Network Units designed for fiber access deployments. Each ONU provides an ITU-G.984 GPON SC/APC WAN interface and a 1/2.5GbE RJ45 LAN interface, supporting downstream rates up to 2.488 Gbps and upstream rates up to 1.244 Gbps.
The units support both Layer 2 and Layer 3 operation, including bridging, routing, NAT, firewall functions, VLAN support, and remote management functions. A GPON link can reach up to 20 km under the specified optical conditions.
Technical Information
Each WaveFiber ONU uses 1310 nm transmission and 1490 nm reception wavelengths. The optical transmitter output is specified at 1.5–5 dBm, while receiver sensitivity is -8 to -28 dBm. The GPON interface uses an SC/APC connector and supports ITU-G.984 GPON operation.
The LAN interface supports 100 Mbps, 1 Gbps, and 2.5 Gbps Ethernet. Power is supplied through 24V passive PoE using a 2-pair connection, with an operating voltage range of 20–28V DC and maximum consumption of 5W per ONU.
Compatibility
The WaveFiber ONU is designed for GPON deployments using compatible Ubiquiti OLT infrastructure and selected third-party OLT equipment. Compatible Ubiquiti platforms include UF-OLT and UF-OLT-4, with additional compatibility dependent on the OLT and GPON configuration.
The exact WAVE-FIBER-ONU-20 configuration contains 20 ONU units. Power adapters are not included with the 20-pack; the terminals require a suitable 24V passive PoE power source.
Key Features
- 20 WaveFiber GPON ONU terminals per pack.
- SC/APC ITU-G.984 GPON WAN interface.
- 1/2.5GbE RJ45 LAN interface.
- Up to 2.488 Gbps downstream and 1.244 Gbps upstream GPON rates.
- 24V passive PoE power with 5W maximum consumption per ONU.
Applications
The WAVE-FIBER-ONU-20 is intended for ISP, fiber access, multi-dwelling, commercial, and multi-site GPON deployments requiring multiple customer-side optical terminals. The 20-unit configuration is suited to installations where several GPON subscribers or endpoints must be provisioned from compatible OLT infrastructure.
DC Supplies Product Note
Plan a compatible 24V passive PoE power source for each ONU. The 20-pack is a bulk terminal configuration and does not include individual PoE power adapters, so power provisioning should be addressed separately during deployment planning.
