Dear Valued Customers and Partners,As the National Day holiday approaches, and amidst the celebration of our nation's enduring achievements, I would like to extend—on behalf of our entire team—our warmest greetings and best wishes to you.
At the recently concluded 27th China International Optoelectronic Exposition (CIOE 2026), HSGQ made a significant appearance, showcasing its all-optical access network solutions.
HSGQ FTTH ONU equipment is designed for reliable fiber-to-Ethernet access in FTTH, FTTO, and other FTTx networks. An FTTH ONU converts optical signals from a passive optical network into Ethernet signals for routers, switches, computers, IPTV devices, POS terminals, and other network equipment.
These wired FTTH ONU products are suitable for network operators, ISPs, distributors, system integrators, contractors, and enterprise users who prefer to separate fiber access from Wi-Fi routing. The ONU handles the optical connection, while users can connect a third-party Wi-Fi 6 or Wi-Fi 7 router according to their required wireless performance, coverage, and network functions.
A wired FTTH ONU works as the terminal device between the passive optical network and local Ethernet equipment. It does not need to include an integrated wireless module, which helps keep the network architecture simple and gives users more flexibility when selecting a separate router or switch.
HSGQ FTTH ONU products can be used for:
Residential fiber broadband
FTTO and small office networks
ISP subscriber access
IPTV and leased-line services
POS terminals
Security and data collection systems
NAS and local storage networks
Small business and commercial Ethernet access
For users who need an all-in-one optical gateway with integrated wireless access, the WiFi ONU/ONT category provides alternative solutions with built-in Wi-Fi and routing functions.
HSGQ provides FTTH EPON ONU, FTTH GPON ONU, and XPON ONU solutions for different PON infrastructures.
Selected XPON ONU models support both EPON and GPON access, helping operators and installers reduce inventory pressure when working with different network platforms. FTTH EPON ONU products can be deployed with compatible EPON OLT equipment, while FTTH GPON ONU models can be used with compatible GPON OLT equipment.
Depending on the model, supported functions may include:
EPON and GPON adaptive access
IEEE 802.3ah compliance
ITU-T G.984.x compatibility
Automatic ONU discovery
Link detection
VLAN configuration
Bandwidth control
QoS functions
Remote software upgrades
Web, OMCI, OAM, TELNET or TR-069 management
The exact protocol, authentication method, management function, and OLT compatibility depend on the selected model and network configuration. Compatibility testing is recommended before large-scale deployment.
Different applications require different Ethernet interfaces. HSGQ offers several FTTH ONU configurations for residential, office, enterprise, and project-based deployments.
A 1GE FTTH ONU is suitable for basic residential broadband, small offices, and installations where one Gigabit Ethernet connection is sufficient. It can connect to an external wireless router, computer, switch, IPTV device, or other Ethernet terminal.
A 1GE+1FE XPON ONU combines one Gigabit Ethernet port with one Fast Ethernet port. This configuration is useful when the network includes terminals with different bandwidth requirements.
View the 1GE+1FE XPON ONU for a compact FTTH access solution with mixed-speed Ethernet connectivity.
A 4GE XPON ONU provides four Gigabit Ethernet ports for connecting multiple local devices, including routers, switches, computers, IPTV equipment, security systems, and office terminals.
The 4GE XPON ONU is suitable for users who need several wired network connections without adding an additional Ethernet switch.
A 2.5G XPON ONU is designed for higher-bandwidth home, office, NAS, and Wi-Fi 6 or Wi-Fi 7 router applications. It provides more capacity than a standard Gigabit Ethernet interface when the OLT, router, and service plan support the required bandwidth.
The HSGQ-Z110 2.5G XPON ONU supports EPON and GPON access and is suitable for high-speed fiber networks that require a 2.5G LAN interface.
HSGQ FTTH ONU products use compact engineering-plastic enclosures designed for homes, offices, telecom cabinets, and network terminals. The housing provides a practical balance between protection, installation convenience, and heat management.
Internal heat dissipation components and concealed ventilation structures help maintain stable operation during continuous network use. The simple wired design also reduces unnecessary hardware functions when Wi-Fi routing is handled by an external router.
Selected models support:
Optical transmission distances of up to 20 km
Optical receiving sensitivity of approximately -28 dBm
Gigabit or multi-Gigabit Ethernet access
EPON, GPON or XPON operation
Compact desktop or wall-mounted deployment
Continuous operation in residential and commercial networks
The actual optical budget, transmission distance, receiving sensitivity, and operating temperature depend on the selected model and network conditions.
A wired FTTH ONU gives users more freedom to choose their preferred router. The ONU converts the incoming PON signal into Ethernet, and the external router manages wireless coverage, routing policies, security functions, and local network access.
This architecture is useful when:
A customer already owns a high-performance Wi-Fi router
The project requires Wi-Fi 6 or Wi-Fi 7 equipment
The wireless router needs to be upgraded separately
Different rooms or offices require independent wireless coverage
A system integrator wants to standardize the optical terminal
The network requires a separate router, firewall, or managed switch
An FTTH ONU should not be confused with an integrated Wi-Fi ONU. The wired FTTH ONU focuses on optical conversion and Ethernet access, while a WiFi ONU/ONT combines PON access with wireless and routing functions.
For operators and contractors, installation and maintenance efficiency are important considerations when choosing an FTTH ONU. Depending on the model, HSGQ ONU products may support automatic registration, link monitoring, VLAN configuration, bandwidth control, remote upgrades, and centralized management.
HSGQ FTTH ONU products are designed for interoperability with mainstream EPON and GPON access platforms, including solutions commonly associated with Huawei, ZTE, and FiberHome networks. Actual interoperability depends on the OLT profile, authentication method, OMCI or OAM behavior, VLAN settings, firmware, and service configuration.
Before placing a project order, confirm:
EPON, GPON or XPON requirements
OLT brand and model
ONU authentication method
Required Ethernet port configuration
VLAN and service settings
Optical budget and transmission distance
Management and upgrade requirements
Router, switch, IPTV, or POS compatibility
A compact 1GE or XPON ONU can provide stable optical access for homes, apartments, and residential broadband projects. Users can connect the ONU to a separate wireless router or home gateway.
Businesses can use FTTH ONU equipment to provide wired fiber access for computers, switches, VoIP systems, printers, POS machines, and office applications.
XPON ONU products help installers and operators support different EPON and GPON access environments while simplifying product selection and field deployment.
With suitable VLAN and service configurations, an FTTH ONU can support IPTV, dedicated broadband, and other Ethernet-based access services.
FTTH ONU equipment can be used for security systems, POS terminals, monitoring equipment, and remote data collection applications that require stable fiber access.
Before selecting an FTTH ONU, evaluate the complete network requirements rather than choosing only by the housing design or Ethernet speed.
Important factors include:
EPON, GPON or XPON access standard
Compatibility with the selected OLT
Number and type of Ethernet ports
Requirement for 1GE, 4GE or 2.5G access
Need for an external Wi-Fi router
Required optical receiving sensitivity
Fiber transmission distance
VLAN, QoS and bandwidth control functions
Web, OMCI, OAM, TELNET or TR-069 management
IPTV, POS, security or enterprise service requirements
Expected future bandwidth growth
For a basic home connection, a 1GE FTTH ONU may be sufficient. For multiple wired devices, a 4GE XPON ONU can simplify local connectivity. For high-bandwidth router, NAS, or Wi-Fi 6/7 applications, a 2.5G XPON ONU may be more suitable.
An FTTH ONU is an Optical Network Unit used in Fiber to the Home networks. It receives optical signals from the PON network and converts them into Ethernet signals for routers, switches, computers, IPTV devices, and other terminals.
In many network projects, an FTTH ONU is also described as an optical modem because it performs optical-to-Ethernet conversion. However, the exact functions depend on the model. A wired ONU normally does not include the full routing and Wi-Fi functions of an integrated gateway.
Yes. A wired FTTH ONU can connect to a separate Wi-Fi router through its Ethernet port. This allows users to choose or upgrade the wireless router independently from the optical access terminal.
An EPON ONU is designed for EPON networks, while a GPON ONU is designed for GPON networks. An XPON ONU can support both EPON and GPON access on compatible models, which provides greater flexibility for mixed deployment environments.
A standard wired FTTH ONU focuses on fiber-to-Ethernet conversion and may not include Wi-Fi. Users who need integrated wireless access should consider a WiFi ONU/ONT or connect the wired ONU to an external wireless router.
The number of ports depends on the model. HSGQ offers 1GE, 1GE+1FE, 4GE, and 2.5G ONU configurations for different residential, office, and enterprise requirements.
It may work with compatible third-party OLT platforms when the PON standard, authentication method, VLAN configuration, OMCI or OAM behavior, and firmware are compatible. Confirm the complete OLT and ONU configuration before volume deployment.
FTTH ONU pricing depends on the PON standard, Ethernet port configuration, XPON support, optical performance, management functions, housing design, order quantity, and customization requirements. For an accurate quotation, provide the OLT model, required interface, deployment environment, and target quantity.
