11. April 2025 Ubiquiti

At a time when fast and reliable Internet connections are more in demand than ever, Ubiquiti’s UXG-Fiber offers an impressive solution for the efficient use of fiber uplinks in professional networks. Whether for home networks or corporate hubs, the UXG-Fiber ensures that fiber connections can be used optimally. In this blog post, we take a closer look at this device, its features and the benefits it can bring to your network.

What is the UXG-Fiber?

The UXG-Fiber is a specially designed device from Ubiquiti’s UniFi series that is used to connect fiber ports to the UniFi network. It is a Gigabit fiber modem with an SFP+ (Small Form-factor Pluggable Plus) port that enables a data rate of up to 10 Gbps. It acts as a handover point for the fiber uplink into your UniFi network by converting the fiber connection into an Ethernet signal that can be integrated into the rest of the network.

Key functions of the UXG-Fiber

SFP+ compatibility for Gigabit fiber
The device is compatible with SFP+ modules, which means you can use different fiber types and speeds depending on your needs. The SFP+ ports offer a maximum transmission speed of 10 Gbps, making it ideal for high-speed connections and networks with high bandwidth requirements.

Easy integration into UniFi networks
Like many other devices in the UniFi range, the device can be easily integrated into the UniFi ecosystem. This enables seamless management and control over the entire network with the UniFi Controller software. This gives you a centralized view of all your devices, including the UXG-Fiber, and allows you to manage them efficiently.

Rackmountable for professional setups
The UXG-Fiber is designed to be mounted in a 19-inch rack, making it ideal for professional use in data centers or larger network environments. The rackmount option ensures a clean and organized installation and facilitates handling in network rooms.

Stability and reliability
Ubiquiti has designed the device to provide stable performance even in busy networks. The device is robust and offers high availability, making it an ideal choice for businesses and demanding home networks.

Why should you use the UXG-Fiber in your network?

Future-proof with fiber optics
Fiber optics is considered one of the fastest and most future-proof transmission methods for Internet connections. With the UXG-Fiber, you can ensure that your network is ready for the future as it allows you to take full advantage of the high bandwidth and speed of fiber optics.

Easy uplink for UniFi devices
The UXG-Fiber ensures that fiber connections are easily integrated into your UniFi network. This is particularly useful if you already have a UniFi infrastructure and want to take your internet speed to the next level without having to build a completely new network.

Easy management with UniFi Controller
One of the biggest advantages of the UXG-Fiber is its easy integration into the UniFi ecosystem. With the UniFi Controller software, you have the ability to easily monitor, configure and manage your network – all from one centralized user interface. This saves time and effort, especially in larger networks.

Our conclusion:

The UXG-Fiber from Ubiquiti is an extremely versatile and powerful device designed for fiber uplinks in UniFi networks. Whether you want to optimize your home network or build a professional network, the device gives you the power and flexibility you need to efficiently integrate fiber connections. With its SFP+ compatibility, easy management via the UniFi Controller and rackmount capability, the UXG-Fiber is an excellent choice for anyone who wants to rely on modern and future-proof network technologies.

If you want to use a fiber optic connection in your network and already rely on UniFi, the UXG-Fiber could be just the solution you need to achieve full speed and stability.
