About this deal

PoE+ devices like the U6-Pro will usually operate with 802.3af input, but they will be unreliable. It’s never a good idea to push past your budget, feed a PoE+ or PoE++ device with a lower tier of PoE, or supply the wrong voltage. Always follow the recommended input power, and never provide less the required power or a different voltage.

So far, Ubiquiti hasn’t really done this since, there have only been two switches released which looked identical and had corresponding UniFi and EdgeMAX editions. There were these switches here and the UniFi Switch 16-150W, which also had an EdgeSwitch version. Also worth noting — if serial console out-of-band management port is something you need, the first generation switches have it, and the second generation models do not. XG UniFi SwitchesTo go alongside the US-8-150W, Ubiquiti also releases an identical looking EdgeMAX version, with the ES-8-150W. Functionally, they are identical, under the skin they both run the same EdgeOS base but are managed in very different ways, the UniFi Switch has no local GUI and is managed only in the UniFI Controller and the EdgeSwitch has a local GUI, with some very advanced features, many of which are not available on UniFi switches.

Build and expand your network with Ubiquiti Networks® UniFi® Switch, part of the UniFi line of products. The fanless UniFi® Switch delivers quiet yet powerful performance with its 10 independent switching ports. Sharing a total of 150W PoE, eight Gigabit Ethernet ports offer 802.3af/at PoE+ or 24V passive PoE and two SFP ports offer optical connectivity. The US-XG-6-PoE has four 1/2.5/5/10 Gbps RJ45 Ethernet ports with PoE++. It also has two 10 Gbps SFP+ interfaces. The Ubiquiti US-8-150W UniFi Switch provides fibre connectivity options for easy expansion of your networks. This Switch includes two SFP ports for uplinks of up to 1 Gbps, so you can directly connect to a high-performance storage server or deploy a long-distance uplink to another switch. UniFi Controller Going forward, Ubiquiti seems to be drifting away from the EdgeRouter and EdgeSwitch line, instead focusing its efforts on the new UISP devices, such as the UISP Switch and UISP Router, no doubt with many more to come. There’s a lot to cover when it comes to PoE, so I’ll try to keep it as simple as possible. There are 4 main types of PoE to know about:The UniFi Switch supports 802.1X authentication, dynamic and static VLAN tagging, port isolation, storm control, and guest control

It’s also worth pointing out that PoE devices don’t always consume their maximum rated power draw. The spec sheet will specify the maximum amount the device can use, but during normal operation they won’t use that much. For example, the U6-Pro requires 802.at PoE+ or 48V passive, and maxes out at 13W. During normal use it usually consumes around 5 to 7 watts of power.USW-Flex — When using PoE passthrough ( Note: this was upgraded to 802.3at PoE+ in a firmware update)

EdgeSwitches are older, more traditional managed switches, with command line (CLI) and individual web interfaces for configuration. EdgeSwitches also have optional integration with the UISP software controller. The newer UISP-branded switches are tied closely to the UISP software, have no web interface, but still offer a CLI for manual configuration. I cover EdgeSwitch and UISP hardware briefly below, but I cover them in more detail in my UISP Switch review. Basic layer 3 features like static routing (supported as of firmware version 4.3.13.11253) and inter-VLAN routing. Build and expand your network with Ubiquiti Networks® UniFi® Switch, part of the UniFi line of products. The fanless UniFi®Switch delivers quiet yet powerful performance with its 10 independent switching ports. Sharing a total of 150W PoE, eight Gigabit Ethernet ports offer 802.3af/at PoE+ or 24V passive PoE and two SFP ports offer optical connectivity. Eight Gigabit RJ45 ports offer different power output options: auto-sensing IEEE 802.3af/at PoE/PoE+ and 24V passive PoE, and two SFP ports provide optical fibre connectivity options to support uplinks of up to 1 Gbps. The Ubiquiti UniFiUS-8-150W is a fully managed 8 port PoE+ Gigabit switch, delivering robust performance and intelligent switching for growing networks.The US-8-150W is afanless UniFi switchwhich delivers a quiet yet powerful performance.One limitation of the regular second generation switches is their limited PoE budget. PoE budget refers to the total amount of power available for all PoE devices. Since the non-pro 2nd generation models are fanless, they also have smaller power supplies, and a smaller PoE budget. Have lower fan noise — the non-pro models are fanless. The pros have fans, but are quieter than the 1st generation models.
