Ubiquiti Networks UniFi US-8 8-Port Managed Gigabit Switch, Low Power, Passive PoE, 5-Pack

Become a master of your network with the Ubiquiti Networks UniFi US-8 8-Port Managed Gigabit Switch, a key component of the UniFi product line. This high-performance, compact switch boasts eight Gigabit Ethernet ports, offering a reliable and efficient solution for expanding your network.

As a managed switch, it delivers robust performance and intelligent switching capabilities, allowing for advanced network management and control. It's designed to process traffic on all ports simultaneously at line rate, ensuring no packet loss and supporting up to 8 Gbps of total, non-blocking throughput. With a switching capacity of 16 Gbps, this durable switch is built to handle high-volume data traffic with ease.

The UniFi US-8 Switch is also a low-power, passive PoE switch, capable of being powered by 802.3af/at, 48V passive PoE, or the included power adapter. When powered by 802.3at PoE or the provided power supply, port 8 supports 48V (2-pair) PoE pass-through, delivering up to 12W of power. This feature makes it an energy-efficient choice for environments where power outlets are scarce or unavailable.

The user-friendly UniFi Controller software is designed for convenient management. It allows network administrators to configure and monitor the UniFi Switch and other UniFi devices using a graphical user interface. With multi-site management capabilities, a single instance of the UniFi Controller running in the cloud can manage multiple UniFi sites within a centralized interface, each with its own network monitoring, configuration, maps, statistics, and admin accounts.

The UniFi Switch offers a variety of configurable features, including operation mode per port (switching, mirroring, or aggregate), network/VLAN configuration, jumbo frame and flow control services, network settings, storm control setting per port, spanning tree configuration, and 802.1x control and RADIUS VLAN. A debug terminal option for command-line interface is also available.

You can also monitor the status of each port, including connection speed and duplex mode, TX/RX data rates, and network/VLAN setting.

The UniFi Switch offers versatile mounting options. It can be attached to a vertical surface using the included wall-mounting hardware, with the flexibility to position the switch so that the ports face in any of four directions: up, down, left, or right. For desktop placement, the switch comes with built-in, non-skid rubber feet to hold it firmly in place. To deter theft, a security slot is provided on the side of the switch for attaching a lock.

In summary, the UniFi US-8 8-Port Managed Gigabit Switch is a reliable, high-performance, and user-friendly solution for building and expanding your network.
