The cost of SFU device is cheaper, because additional services (routing, telephony, TV) are not implemented. +The ONT SFU type can be understood as a simple Layer II device, like an L2 switch or media converter. It usually has a single Ethernet port and it is exclusively an optical-electric converter. It simply and transparently transports traffic from the PON interface to the Ethernet port(s) of the customer's ONT. No routing or VoIP functionality is assumed for this SFU type. For SFUs, a simple service configuration from the OLT station is used. SFU devices are usually cheaper, because additional services (routing, telephony, TV) are not implemented. -Within the GPON OMCI standards we can find two types of interfaces, and they are relatively VEIP and PPTP.

Generally these devices do not require special configurations and therefore access to the web interface of the client ONT device is not required, although it is possible to update the software. To configure the switching of the required VLANs, the Ethernet port profiles of the client ONT are created at the OLT. Most of user-side configurations must be made in the devices connected to the SFU. +The SFU type ONT device is configured and controlled completely remotely by the OLT via the OMCI management interface.
