UniFi Cloud Gateway Fiber
$279 MSRP
UniFi Cloud Gateway Fiber: what it is & who it's for
The same $279 as the Cloud Gateway Max and a different machine: an A73 processor, 5 Gbps of IPS, a 10 GbE RJ45 and two 10G SFP+ ports, and a 30 W PoE budget. The desktop gateway for a fibre line that actually delivers multi-gig. Multi-gig fibre lines, and anyone who wants 10G on the WAN without moving to a rack.

The same $279 as the Cloud Gateway Max and a different machine: an A73 processor, 5 Gbps of IPS, a 10 GbE RJ45 and two 10G SFP+ ports, and a 30 W PoE budget. The desktop gateway for a fibre line that actually delivers multi-gig.
Pros
- 5 Gbps IDS/IPS — the highest of any desktop UniFi gateway
- 10G SFP+ and 10 GbE RJ45 on the WAN side for fibre and multi-gig service
- 30 W of PoE on board, enough for a camera or an access point
Cons
- Wider than the Max at 212.8 mm, and DC-powered rather than USB-C
- Rated 0 to 40 °C, a narrower range than the Max's -10 to 40 °C
- The NVMe drive for Protect is still an extra purchase
Best forMulti-gig fibre lines, and anyone who wants 10G on the WAN without moving to a rack.
