Plug-and-Play 10G Fiber: Meet the HALNy HLX-SFPX XGS-PON Stick
Published by Juan David Ramirez on 6th May 2025
Hey there, I’m Juan David — Tech Support Lead at Flytec. Today, let me walk you through one of the smartest tools I’ve used recently: the HALNy HLX-SFPX, also known as the XGS-PON Stick. If you’re like me and love keeping your setups clean, fast, and future-proof, you’re going to appreciate this one.
What Is the HALNy HLX-SFPX? Think of the HLX-SFPX as your fiber ONU — but in a stick. It’s a full-blown XGS-PON ONU squeezed into an SFP+ form factor that you just plug into your switch or router. That’s it. You’re connected to a 10G XGS-PON network. No bulky hardware, no extra power adapters. It’s neat, efficient, and powerful.
It’s also compliant with ITU-T G.9807.1 and G.988 standards, which means it's ready for the modern fiber backbone.
Why I Love This Stick (and You Might Too) Here’s what makes the HLX-SFPX an absolute favorite for real-world installs:
✅ 10G Symmetrical Speeds (Downstream & Upstream)
✅ Compatible with MikroTik & Ubiquiti SFP+ devices
✅ Zero external power needed — power is drawn from the host device
✅ Supports OMCI for remote provisioning
✅ Works with most major OLT brands: NOKIA (Alcatel-Lucent), DASAN V-series OLTs, FIBERHOME, ZHONE, ZYXEL, Huawei, RAISECOM, ADTRAN, ZTE, Cisco/Altice, CALIX, ISKRATEL
✅ Built-in Layer 2 functionality: VLANs, QoS, IGMP, QinQ
✅ Supports tough environments — up to 85°C
Real-Life Application: Fiber in Hotels & MDUs Let’s say you’re setting up a network in a hotel or a multi-dwelling unit (MDU). Normally, you’d mount bulky ONUs in each room — but not with this stick. You plug the HLX-SFPX into a MikroTik or Ubiquiti Router/switch behind the TV, and boom — high-speed fiber without clutter. Plus, IT can manage it remotely. That’s less time, less gear, and happier customers.
What It Works With
MikroTik Routers & Switches: CCR2004-16G-2S+, CRS317-1G-16S+RM, CCR2116-12G-4S+, CCR1016-12S-1S+, CCR1009-7G-1C-1S+ — all support 10G SFP+
Ubiquiti: EGF, UDM-Pro-Max, UDM-SE, UCG-Fiber, UDM-Pro, UDR7, UXG-Pro, UXG-Fiber, UXG-Enterprise.
OLT Compatibility: Works with NOKIA (Alcatel-Lucent), DASAN V-series OLTs, FIBERHOME, ZHONE, ZYXEL, Huawei, RAISECOM, ADTRAN, ZTE, Cisco/Altice, CALIX, ISKRATEL
From my desk to your rack — I can confidently say this stick is one of the easiest and smartest upgrades for FTTH or enterprise fiber. At Flytec, we use and recommend the HALNy HLX-SFPX because it simplifies everything while delivering the speed and reliability our clients expect. Ready to scale smart? This is your move.
