Ubiquiti UISP-FIBER-XGS Optical Network Unit
Overview
The Ubiquiti UISP-FIBER-XGS is a fiber-based optical network unit (ONU) designed to work exclusively within the UISP Fiber ecosystem. It delivers 10 Gbps symmetrical throughput over distances up to 20 km, making it the aggregation endpoint in PON-based carrier and enterprise backhaul networks. The UISP-FIBER-XGS terminates fiber connectivity at branch locations (subscriber premises, remote sites, or building aggregation points) and bridges that capacity to copper infrastructure via a 10GbE RJ45 port—solving the last-mile aggregation problem in fiber-to-the-premises and campus interconnect deployments.
Compatibility
The UISP-FIBER-XGS is only compatible with the UISP Fiber XGS OLT (Optical Line Terminal). It cannot be used with third-party OLT equipment or legacy PON systems. If you are deploying an UISP Fiber XGS network, this ONU pairs downstream from your central office OLT. The device integrates natively with the UISP management platform, allowing centralized provisioning, subscriber authentication, and traffic shaping across all distributed ONUs in the tree architecture.
Installation Notes
Weighs 0.490 lb, enabling flexible mounting in telecom cabinets, wall-mount enclosures, or pole-mounted distribution boxes without significant footprint penalty. One XGS-PON port (fiber) terminates the downlink from the OLT; one 10GbE RJ45 port (copper) connects to your upstream aggregation switch or core router. Plan fiber routes to stay within 20 km of the OLT to maintain line-rate throughput. The compact profile supports dense deployments in edge locations where space is constrained.
