Best Fit & Recommended For
Ubiquiti UniFi Cloud Gateway Fiber (UCG-Fiber)
The Ubiquiti UniFi Cloud Gateway Fiber (UCG-Fiber) is the high-throughput UniFi gateway for Chicago sites with multi-gig fiber WAN. Up to 10G WAN, 5 Gbps IDS/IPS routing, dynamic-routing protocols (OSPF, BGP), and the full UniFi VPN stack (WireGuard, IPsec, OpenVPN, L2TP, Teleport) — built into a single appliance.
What’s Confirmed by the Official Ubiquiti Spec
These specifications come from the techspecs.ui.com / store.ui.com published UCG-Fiber product page:
- Model: UCG-Fiber
- WAN capability: up to 10G
- IDS/IPS throughput: 5 Gbps
- Routing protocols: OSPF, BGP
- VPN: WireGuard, IPsec, OpenVPN, L2TP, Teleport
When the UCG-Fiber Fits — Multi-Gig Fiber Edge
Pick the UCG-Fiber when:
- The site has multi-gig fiber WAN (1 Gbps+ symmetric, up to 10G)
- The deployment needs IDS/IPS at line rate (5 Gbps)
- Routing requires OSPF or BGP (multi-site, ISP peering, MPLS)
- The site is large enough to justify a flagship gateway
For compact sites with 1 Gbps WAN, see the UCG-Ultra. For rack-mount enterprise with the original Dream Machine Pro form factor, see the UDM-Pro. For LTE / cellular field deployments, see the UMR-Industrial.
