The switch offers a practical solution for expanding Ethernet infrastructure in homes and corporate installations. It comes with 8× 10/100Mb/s LAN ports and 1× Gigabit Ethernet port for connecting network devices. There is also 1× combined optical interface 100/1000 Mb/s available, which allows flexible connections to other network elements. Eight PoE outputs facilitate powering compatible devices directly via Ethernet cable.
With a PoE budget of 630 W, it offers sufficient power capacity for connected devices. Two 40 × 40 mm fans ensure effective cooling of the device and help maintain optimal operating temperature. The switch provides up to 400 meters at 100 Mbps link and between 400 to 800 meters only 10 Mbps link. The robust design with a pair of fans allows installation on a desktop or in a rack.
The USW-LR-Switch-8-PoE does not have web management but is centrally managed using UniFi Network with support for the UniFi mobile application and offers a comprehensive set of advanced switching protocols and L2 features, including operational mode (switching, mirroring, or aggregation) on the port. UniFi Network Controller and the mobile app allow administrators to configure and monitor virtually all switch features in a graphical user interface from anywhere.
