ZTE F680A XPON ONU | Dual Band WiFi FTTH ONT 4GE + VoIP + USB | Wavetech Kenya

The ZTE F680A XPON ONU is a high-performance FTTH optical network terminal (ONT) designed for modern fiber-to-the-home and fiber-to-the-business deployments. Supporting XPON technology (GPON/EPON auto-adaptive), the F680A delivers ultra-fast internet, stable VoIP services, and seamless dual-band WiFi connectivity for residential and small business users.

Equipped with 4 Gigabit Ethernet ports, 1 telephone (VoIP) port, 2 USB ports, and dual-band 2.4GHz & 5GHz WiFi, the ZTE F680A is an all-in-one fiber gateway that meets the growing demand for high-speed, multi-device networking.

XPON Technology – GPON & EPON Compatible

The ZTE F680A supports XPON, meaning it can automatically adapt to GPON or EPON networks. This flexibility makes it ideal for ISPs deploying mixed or evolving fiber infrastructures. Key benefits include:

• Seamless GPON/EPON compatibility
• Simplified ISP inventory management
• High downstream and upstream bandwidth
• Stable performance for FTTH networks

This makes the F680A a future-ready ONT for fiber deployments.

High-Speed Dual Band WiFi (2.4GHz & 5.8GHz)

The built-in dual-band WiFi router provides strong and stable wireless coverage:

• 2.4GHz band for extended range and compatibility
• 5GHz band for higher speeds and low-latency applications
