The
USW-Enterprise-8-PoE (Enterprise 8 PoE) is a
compact desktop Layer 3 managed switch delivering 2.5 GbE PoE+ switching with dual 10G SFP+ uplinks and integrated Layer 3 routing in a space-efficient form factor. Measuring
200 × 248 × 44 mm (7.9 × 9.8 × 1.7") and weighing
2.4 kg (5.3 lb), the USW-Enterprise-8-PoE features a
1.3" touchscreen LCM display and supports rack depths of
400–1,200 mm (15.7–47.2"). The
polycarbonate enclosure and mount provides durable, lightweight installation. Requires
UniFi Network version 6.3.51 and later.
The
USW-Enterprise-8-PoE provides
(8) 2.5 GbE RJ45 PoE+ ports at up to 32W per port delivering
120W total PoE availability for powering WiFi 6/7 access points, IP cameras, VoIP phones, and high-power PoE devices across East African enterprise deployments.
Dual 10G SFP+ uplinks (10G/1G) provide high-speed fibre or DAC connectivity to core switching infrastructure.
Switching capacity of 80 Gbps with 40 Gbps non-blocking throughput and 60 Mpps forwarding rate ensures wire-speed performance across all ports.
Layer 3 capabilities include:
- DHCP server for local networks
