USW-ENTERPRISE-8-POE

No problem with overheating. Yes, it is warm but that's it. I run Ethernet over Fiber directly into this unit from our Playstation and computer gaming with blisteringly fast speeds, sustained at over 2Gbps. Wonderful build quality and plug-and-play simplicity in our Ubiquiti router. (SDM SE) One strong recommendation, stay within the same manufacturer for communication data between router, access point, and switch - and everything will be MUCH smoother. In this case, it is plug-and-play! I am very happy with this unit, it has not crashed at all, super stable - 24hr up time - and as I said it is blisteringly fast

tolles switch soweit. bin mit der leistung und software zufrieden. einziges manko ist die lüftersteuerung, die gefühlt nicht vorhanden ist. der integrierte lüfter springt bei 40grad, 50grad und auch nicht bei 60grad an. wenn man dann noch die 1-2 sfp+ anschlüsse betreibt, die dann auch die 70grad erreichen, bricht die verbindung ununterbrochen ab. hier habe ich mir mit einem 120mm noctua kühler geholfen, der von oben drauf pustet. ohne externe kühlhilfe nur mit vorsicht zu genießen. und unifi hat es seit release nicht geänder…

I needed a 2.5gb managed POE switch at least a couple of 10gb sfp+ ports, this was the best of a limited selection. This properly powered by 2.5gb access points with no issue. Testing the bandwidth yielded exactly as expected, I was able to fully saturate 6 of the 2.5gb ports at 2.5gb, 2 of the 2.5gb ports at 1gb, and the two 10gb sfp+ ports at almost full speed with no issue at all. I would have filled all 8 ports with 2.5gb devices and tested, but I do not have that many 2.5gb devices. Utterly silent, this switch allows for management either via ssh or via the Unifi Network system (application/VM are free, Unifi Cloud Key as bought option). VLAN tagging was not simple to make cooperate with an older Cisco switch using dot1q , but was able to manage with some significant effort. This switch offers a lot of integration in a fully Unifi environment, but does not natively communicate well with non-Unifi switches/routers/firewalls in the sense that things like VLAN tagging are native inside the Unifi environment, but require manual CLI configuration for non-Unifi devices. It will definitely do these things well, once configured. This switch runs warm when at capacity, but not uncomfortably so. The metal body works as a natural heatsink just fine, and the silence is appreciated in comparison to the larger switches I work with in some locations. Expensive for ten ports, but blazing fast.

This is great. I love it. That said, you probably don't want this for your home network unless it's the PoE you're after, just a normal "layer 2" switch at half the cost. Layer 3 is TCP/IP in this case, not just ethernet (VLANs). You most likely do not need a layer 3 switch at home - it also does some of the things a router can do. This is for Enterprise use as the name suggests, for example when it needs to be placed far away from the gateway/router and still do some of its jobs. Also, there should be a 10Gb version of this out soon. Also note this is only PoE+ not PoE++. A normal Unifi layer 2 switch is a managed switch, and well priced. Still, this is a great product.

Probably among the best looking switches out there. It does get warm so make sure it's not enclosed or at least have proper ventilation if enclosed. Only wished it had 10GB RJ45. Does provide poe+ for all your power user needs and integrates easily into the Unify ecosystem.
