## Description

Ubiquiti Networks networks Unifi switch 8 port, 60W

Review: Switch is a winner as an integral part of a Ubiquiti system (or by itself) - Great switch. It's the central part of my Ubiquiti setup. I use the POE to power the UAP-AC-IW, and it works flawlessly but no longer supports POE passthrough. Passthrough requires POE+, which this switch doesn't support. I wasn't using the passthrough anyway, so no loss for me. However, using this switch to power my AP allowed me to remove the POE+ injector I was using from my setup, so that's a plus. This switch is really well built, metal case and small form factor. I needed a POE switch with aggregation ability in a small form factor so this managed switch fit perfectly. As others have said, it does run hot with it's passive cooling design. Physics says that's probably not good for the long term life of the components, but I've never heard of Ubiquiti long term quality problems. Also, I have a fan pushing air to this and my Edgerouter X-SFP just in case, but I wouldn't have bothered if I didn't have that fan lying around. The switch is easy to configure with the Unifi controller (software) that I already had running for my AP. If you don't already have Unifi Controller running, it's still very easy to set up. There wasn't any other switch that met my requirements for my setup, small, POE, managed. Even better, I was already in the Ubiquiti ecosystem so it makes implementation and management that much easier. If you have a UAP and/or USG, this is a no-brainer. Even if you don't, the ease of management and control on this switch makes it very appealing. I recently replaced a quality all in one router with a Ubiquiti setup and it's one of the best things I've ever done for my home. If you rely on internet and the network like most modern people do, look into it. [Excerpt from another of my Unifi reviews:] As much as I like this switch, the real star is the whole Ubiquiti modular setup. My network is so bulletproof now. I don't ever have to worry about network being up or inconsistent wifi speeds. Where it used to be common to hear that the "internet is down" or "too slow" from my family, I have not heard a peep about the network or experienced any performance issues in the couple months that I've had this system. And this is while I've been literally constantly monitoring it throughout the day since implementation. Not a single hiccup or issue, and we probably stream video as much as anyone (cable cutters). I may sound like a Ubiquiti fanboy, but it's because this is working for me way beyond my expectations. Other setups from other brands could work just as well, I just don't have experience with them. I just heard so much about the ALMOST consumer level ease of Ubiquiti with the flexibility and power of enterprise. But honestly, if you have experience with consumer routers from 10 years ago, it's not much harder to configure, if at all. Also there's a very big support community and very helpful videos on youtube. Regardless of any trouble in setup, it's worth the initial pain to not have to deal with a slow or down network or internet on a weekly/daily basis. I'm never going back to less than excellent performance again.
Review: Unifi Solid Networking at an excellent price - I have used Ubiquiti Unifi gear for three years now and the Enterprise Class Network devices and integrated management make this a wise choice. I've installed Unifi for four friends of mine as well. This is actually my third Unifi switch in my home. I have one other Inifi Switch 8 60W and the Unifi Switch 24 250W. I also have a Unifi USG and two of their excellent Unifi AP-AC Pro access points. I also recently upgraded from a Cloud Key Gen1 to a Gen2. When you decide to opt into the Unifi line of equipment you are making a decision to bring Enterprise class networking into your home. In order to configure and manage Unifi network devices you need to run the "Unifi SDN Controller software". The Unifi SDN is where you make all the changes and settings to Unifi devices. Unlike consumer class network devices, Unifi devices are not managed, configured or monitored from a web server embedded on the device. Instead, the Unifi SDN makes secure socket connections to the target devices for management. One way to understand this is that you can configure one wireless access point and then add ten more access points with a single click and they are automatically configured with the SSID's that you have defined on your network. You can run the Unifi SDN on Windows, Linux, Mac or a Unifi Cloud key. I have run the Unifi SDN on Windows, MacOS, Linux, and as a Docker image from my NAS. After plenty of experience, I decided that a Unifi Cloud Key was a much better choice since it is a dedicated environment from which you run just the Unifi SDN. Although it is not necessary to run the Unifi SDN 24x7, it is a great advantage to run it from a device like the Cloud Key for realtime monitoring, reporting and statistics. This Unifi 8 port POE switch is completely manageable, which means that it allows for the creation and management of multiple VLANS and four of the eight ports are Power Over Ethernet (POE). I've used the POE ports to support both my Unifi Access Points and also several POE cameras I have around my property. I've included a picture of this latest Unifi 8 port POE switch that I have which is handling my Family Room entertainment center connection to my Samsung QLED Smart TV, a Roku 3, a PS3, a Raspberry Pi running OSMC, and a camera which monitors the area when we are gone. The visual indicators on the Switch itself and on the GUI let you know if a device is communicating and at what speed and if the attached device is drawing POE power, you get the exact wattage that is being used on that device. The only downside to this switch is that it is passively cooled and needs to be used in a well ventilated area because it does run hot. My summary recommendation if to seriously consider this device, but to also consider a Unifi Cloud Key with it. As long as you make the dive into the Unifi Ecosystem, also consider the USG or USG Pro as your router to complete the integrated suite of devices.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this switch support 802.1q vlans and trunking?**
A: The one on the left in the picture (US-8-60W) is a managed switch that supports 802.1q  vlans and trunking among other features. You need the Unifi controller software to manage it correctly. This can be downloaded for Windows, MacOS and Linux from the vendor website or you can get their appliance (confusingly named "cloudkey"). The 4 ports on the right also support outgoing PoE with a 60W total power budget (you can connect a PoE camera or phone or similar device and they will receive power from the switch).

**Q: Can us-8-60w be powered by another us-8-60w -- poe 802.3af (12w)? i understand the poe out would probably not work for the second device.**
A: This Switch does not have a POE IN to power from another us-8-60w. 
You can use a US-8 Unifi Switch that can be powered by the us-8-60w. 
So main is us-8-60w, and connect a us-8 using the POE IN port.

**Q: How many poe does us8 have?  what does pass through mean? i just need one poe for ap.**
A: There are two similar but different models. This page is for the US-8-60W, which has a large power supply and uses that to directly power 4 POE ports (802.af, not POE+/802.at, so a maximum of ~12W output per port instead of 25W. This is enough for most Ubiquiti UnFi APs, but not the AP-HD, which has greater power requirements.)

The US-8 is a different model with only one POE output port. The US-8 can itself be powered by POE through one port, or by a DC power supply. The POE output port can be powered whether the US-8 is being powered by its DC power supply, or if the US-8 is being powered by POE input. In the latter case, the POE is "passed through" from the input to the output. Under certain circumstances, if the input POE is 802.af and has a maximum wattage around 12W, it is possible that there will be insufficient power to power both the US-8 and the second device on the output port if the total power draw is too much.

Pass through in general is when a device is powered by POE and also passes through that POE to some of its output ports (instead of drawing the energy necessary to power the POE ports via its own power supply.)

**Q: Can the poe ports be used as as regular rj45 ports if i only need two poe; one for ac-pro the other for the cloud key.**
A: Yes, in general you don't need to turn PoE off, even if using for non PoE devices.  PoE is auto-sensing and won't do anything if the device doesn't use it.
