10G Multi-WAN Security Gateway with 5 Gbps IDS/IPS, Dual 10G WAN Ports, 10G SFP+ LAN, and Integrated 4-Port 2.5G Switch with PoE+
The Ubiquiti UniFi Gateway Fiber is a compact desktop security gateway designed for networks with fiber or 10G WAN connections that need full threat inspection without sacrificing throughput. Its dedicated security processor delivers 5 Gbps of IDS/IPS inspection across all traffic while dual 10G WAN ports (one RJ45, one SFP+) provide redundant high-speed internet connectivity with automatic failover. A 10G SFP+ LAN port connects to your core switch over fiber, and an integrated 4-port 2.5G RJ45 switch (including one PoE+ port at 30W) handles direct device connections or powers a downstream access point. Managed through an external UniFi controller, it serves as the dedicated networking and security core for deployments that separate routing from application hosting.
The UXG-Fiber handles multi-WAN load balancing, license-free SD-WAN, and multiple VPN protocols (WireGuard, Teleport, Site Magic, IPsec, OpenVPN) without per-tunnel licensing. Its quad-core ARM Cortex A73 processor at 2.2 GHz and 2 GB RAM keep session tables and inspection rules in memory for consistent forwarding performance under load. At 605 g and 212.8 x 127.6 x 30 mm, it sits on a desk or shelf without rack hardware.
Where the UXG-Fiber Fits
- Small offices with fiber internet where a 10G SFP+ WAN port connects directly to the ISP ONT over fiber, the integrated 2.5G switch serves a few workstations or an AP, and 5 Gbps IDS/IPS inspects all traffic without adding a separate firewall appliance
- Distributed retail or branch sites where each location needs SD-WAN connectivity back to headquarters over WireGuard or IPsec, dual WAN failover ensures uptime during ISP outages, and the compact form factor fits in a closet or behind a display
- UniFi deployments with dedicated controllers where the gateway handles routing and security while a separate Cloud Key or self-hosted controller manages the full UniFi ecosystem, keeping security processing isolated from application workloads
What the UXG-Fiber Delivers
- 5 Gbps IDS/IPS throughput: Dedicated security processing inspects all traffic at multi-gigabit speeds. Deep packet inspection, content filtering, and intrusion prevention run simultaneously without degrading forwarding rates.
- Dual 10G WAN with failover: One 10G RJ45 and one 10G SFP+ WAN port for redundant high-speed internet connectivity. Automatic failover and multi-WAN load balancing keep the network online when a single ISP drops.
- 10G SFP+ LAN uplink: Fiber connection to your core switch at 10 Gbps. Eliminates the copper bottleneck between gateway and switching infrastructure in fiber-connected environments.
- Integrated 4-port 2.5G switch with PoE+: Four built-in 2.5G RJ45 LAN ports including one delivering 30W PoE+. Power a UniFi AP or camera directly from the gateway without a separate switch or injector in small deployments.
- License-free SD-WAN and VPN: WireGuard, Teleport, Site Magic, IPsec, and OpenVPN with no per-site or per-tunnel fees. Site-to-site connectivity and remote access included at no recurring cost.
