Eight of its sixteen GbE ports supply PoE+, with 45W of total PoE availability, and the switch runs from an internal 60W power supply with universal 100–240V AC input. It sits on a desk or mounts on a wall, and is managed in the UniFi Network application, version 7.2.94 and later.
Quick Glance
Key Features
Eight PoE+ ports with a 45W budget
Eight of the sixteen Gigabit ports supply PoE+, with a maximum of 32W per port by PSE, so access points, phones and other PoE devices run from the network cable. Total PoE availability is 45W across the switch. The other eight ports are standard GbE.
Fanless, with a built-in power supply
A fanless cooling system suits offices, reception areas and meeting rooms. Power comes from an internal 60W AC/DC supply with universal 100–240V AC, 50/60 Hz input, so there is no external adapter. The polycarbonate unit measures 192 x 185 x 44 mm, weighs 1.2 kg and stands on a desk or mounts on a wall.
Layer 2 control in UniFi Network
Managed from the UniFi Network application (7.2.94 and later), it supports up to 1,000 VLANs, Voice VLAN and LLDP-MED, LACP, STP and RSTP, IGMP snooping, 802.1X control, DHCP snooping and guarding, IP- and MAC-based ACLs, port isolation, port mirroring, storm control and loop protection.

Need-to-Know
- Only eight of the sixteen ports supply power. Each PoE+ port can deliver up to 32W, but total PoE availability across the switch is 45W, so the combined draw of powered devices must stay within 45W.
- The switch has an internal 60W AC/DC power supply with universal 100–240V AC input; Ubiquiti lists no external adapter for it.
- All sixteen ports are 1 GbE RJ45 (1G/100M/10M). Ubiquiti's spec lists no SFP or multi-gigabit port on this model.
- Ubiquiti rates the ambient operating temperature at -15 to 40° C. In UAE ceiling voids, cabinets or plant rooms that run hotter than that, choose a cooler, ventilated mounting spot.
- The switch is managed in the UniFi Network application, version 7.2.94 and later.
