About this deal

This makes it a good choice for devices that require more power, such as wireless access points, IP cameras, and some VoIP phones. They are handy little switches for expanding your network or supporting a few cameras, access points, or other PoE+ devices. It can be used to power your gateway, ISP equipment like a modem, and important PoE devices like door locks, cameras, or access points. If you just need gigabit Ethernet, a small bit of PoE, and don’t need layer 3 support, the Lite 8 PoE and Lite 16 PoE are significantly cheaper and worth considering.

PoE is the main type of Power over Ethernet (PoE) used by devices such as CCTV cameras, VoIP phones, and Smart Home equipment.

If you are planning on placing a PoE switch in a working or living space, we recommend choosing a fanless model. If the switch will be placed in a cupboard, a loft, or another isolated location, then a fan-cooled switch is fine. Omada is generally cheaper and more flexible but has fewer options, less polish, and a lower market share. The CBS350-8FP-2G is the closest, but there are a literal ton of models above and below it in their product stack.

This guide has been written primarily for domestic installations, but the principles still apply to commercial environments. It has most of the same features, too: layer 3 support, 120W of PoE budget, two 10 Gbps SFP+ slots, and a small touchscreen. If you go for anything other than the U6-Enterprise access point, you may as well keep your USW-FLEX-XG and power the access point off the UDM SE because they all have 1GbE links. Previously, it ran everything, but Ubiquiti has phased it out, and none of the latest WiFi 6 models use it.If you bring your own firewall/gateway and are OK with relying on Aruba’s cloud software, there is a lot to like. Its robust build ensures durability, while its advanced management features make network monitoring and configuration a breeze.
