Overview
The WAS-110 XGS-PON ONU SFP+ Stick is a revolutionary optical transceiver that integrates the functions of a complete XGS-PON Optical Network Terminal (ONT) into a compact SFP+ form factor. Designed for enterprise networks, ISPs, and advanced home users, this module allows you to plug a fiber connection directly into your router, firewall, or switch, eliminating the need for a bulky, standalone ISP modem/ONT.
Equipped with a built-in PON MAC (Media Access Control) chip, the WAS-110 handles the XGS-PON protocol stack internally and presents a standard 10 Gigabit Ethernet interface to your host equipment. It fully complies with the ITU-T G.9807.1 standard, delivering symmetric 9.953 Gbps bandwidth for ultra-fast upload and download speeds.
Key Features
- “ONT on a Stick”: Complete ONU functionality in a hot-pluggable SFP+ module.
- Symmetric 10G Speed: Supports 9.953 Gbps Downstream and 9.953 Gbps Upstream.
- Built-in MAC: Handles GPON/XGS-PON OMCI and GEM encapsulation internally.
- Standard Compliance: ITU-T G.9807.1 (XGS-PON) and SFF-8432.
- Host Interface: SGMII / XFI interface (Standard 10GE to the switch).
- Dying Gasp: Support for power failure notification.
- Configurable: Supports PLOAM password and Serial Number (SN) modification for ISP authentication.
Applications
- ISP Bypass: Remove the ISP-provided modem/bridge and terminate the fiber directly into your own high-performance router (e.g., MikroTik, Ubiquiti, PfSense).
- Enterprise Access: Connect office switches directly to the XGS-PON metro network without intermediate converters.
- Mobile Backhaul: Compact ONU solution for small cells and remote base stations.

Why Choose an SFP+ ONU Stick?
Traditional FTTH installations require a separate plastic box (the ONT) powered by a wall wart, connected to your router via copper Ethernet. The WAS-110 SFP+ Stick simplifies this by:
- Reducing Clutter: Eliminates extra cables and power adapters.
- Improving Airflow: Removes a heat-generating device from your rack shelf.
- Lowering Latency: Direct fiber-to-router connection reduces media conversion overhead.
FAQ
1. Will this work with my ISP?
To work with an ISP, the ONU Stick must be registered with the OLT (Optical Line Terminal). You typically need to clone the Serial Number (SN) and sometimes the PLOAM Password of your original ISP-supplied box into this stick. The WAS-110 supports these modifications via SSH or telnet access, but compatibility depends on your ISP’s specific OLT settings.
2. Does this module get hot?
Yes, XGS-PON ONU sticks contain a high-performance processor and laser in a small package, so they run warmer than standard transceivers. Ensure your switch or router has adequate airflow/cooling.
3. What connector does it use?
This module typically uses a Simplex SC/UPC connector. Please verify your fiber patch cable type. If your wall jack is SC/APC (Green), you will need an SC/APC to SC/UPC patch cable.
4. Is it compatible with Ubiquiti/MikroTik?
Generally, yes. It appears as a standard 10G SFP+ module to the host. However, some switches require manually setting the port speed to 10G or disabling auto-negotiation.
