Ubiquiti UCG-FIBER | Cloud Gateway Fiber

A compact desktop gateway for sites running 10G fibre WAN connections that also want routing, camera recording, and access control managed from one device.

Why this one

• The 10G SFP+ WAN port accepts a fibre module directly, so a fibre handoff from your ISP connects without a separate media converter cluttering the desk.
• IDS/IPS runs at 5 Gbps with 55,000+ CyberSecure signatures, meaning deep-packet threat inspection doesn't become the bottleneck on a fast connection.
• The built-in slot accepts an NVMe SSD up to 2 TB, so UniFi Protect can record up to 5 × 4K cameras or 15 HD cameras without a separate NVR on the shelf.
• Four 2.5 GbE LAN ports plus a 30W PoE budget covers a small switch and a couple of PoE devices directly from the gateway before you need additional hardware.

Good fit if you're setting up a small office or retail site on a fibre connection and want routing, threat management, and camera recording consolidated into a single desktop unit managed through UniFi.

Worth considering something else if you need to manage more than 50 UniFi devices, record more than 5 × 4K cameras, or require rack mounting — the UNVR-PRO handles larger camera loads and the UDM-PRO-MAX scales further for bigger networks.

What you'll also need

An SFP+ fibre module matching your ISP's handoff (if connecting via fibre), Cat6A patch cables, and a PoE switch such as the USW-LITE-8-POE if you need more than four wired LAN ports; if you're using the NVR function, the 1 TB or 2 TB storage variant includes the SSD and tray, while the no-storage variant requires the UACC-SSD-TRAY and a compatible third-party NVMe drive.
