WiFi 5 CATV ONU – One Device for Broadband, Cable TV, and VoIP Over a Single Fiber
High-speed GPON ONU performance for fiber access networks.
Dual-band WiFi 5 (802.11ac) wireless coverage with stable signal quality.
CATV support to converge data and video services in one device.
Designed for ISPs: easy rollout, remote monitoring, and reduced maintenance cost.
What is a WiFi 5 CATV ONU?
The WiFi 5 CATV ONU is an all-in-one fibre optic terminal device that combines GPON/EPON broadband access, dual-band Wi-Fi 5, CATV RF output, and VoIP telephony in a single compact unit. Designed for FTTH and FTTx deployments, it enables service providers to deliver triple-play services – high-speed Internet, digital/analogue TV, and voice – over a single fibre connection. With four Gigabit Ethernet ports, AC1200 wireless coverage, and remote management capabilities, it is the ideal CPE solution for residential, SOHO, and small enterprise applications.

WiFi 5 CATV ONU Selection Guide
How to Choose the WiFi 5 CATV ONU
Select this ONU when you need a cost-effective triple-play gateway for residential or SOHO deployments. It is ideal for service providers rolling out FTTH with analogue CATV overlay.
Consider the port configuration: models range from 2×GE to 4×GE. Choose 4×GE for households/offices with multiple wired devices.
Verify OLT compatibility: The XPON auto-adaptation feature ensures compatibility with most major OLT brands.
For higher-density or future-proof deployments, consider WiFi 6 models. For basic triple-play services, WiFi 5 offers the best value.
Installation Instructions
Fibre Connection
Connect the fibre optic cable to the SC/APC PON port. Ensure the connector is clean and properly seated.
Power On and Initialisation
Connect the 12V DC power adapter. Wait for the PON LED to stabilise – indicating successful registration with the OLT.
Wi-Fi Configuration
Access the WEB interface (default IP: 192.168.1.1). Set SSID and password for 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands. Enable EasyMesh if multiple nodes are deployed.
CATV Connection
Connect the RF coaxial cable from the CATV port to the TV set-top box or directly to the TV's analogue tuner.
