ONU (Optical Network Unit)

An Optical Network Unit (ONU) is a device that connects individual homes or businesses to a larger fiber optic internet network. It receives high-speed optical signals from the network provider through fiber cables and converts them into electrical signals that your devices can use, such as Wi-Fi, Ethernet, or phone lines. Essentially, the ONU acts as a translator and distribution point, ensuring each user gets fast, reliable internet access from a shared fiber optic infrastructure. It’s a key component in fiber-to-the-premises (FTTP) systems, enabling high-speed broadband to your door.
