Overview
Build and expand your network with Ubiquiti Networks® UniFi® Switch, part of the UniFi line of products. The new 8-port models feature Gigabit Ethernet ports in a compact form factor. The switches are fully manageable, delivering robust performance and intelligent switching for your networks.
Switching Performance
The UniFi Switch offers the forwarding capacity to simultaneously process traffic on all ports at line rate without any packet loss. For its total, non-blocking throughput, each UniFi Switch supports up to 8 Gbps with a switching capacity of 16 Gbps.
PoE
The US-8 can be powered by 802.3af/at, 48V passive PoE, or the included power adapter. When the US-8 is powered by 802.3at PoE or the included power supply, port 8 supports 48V (2-pair) PoE passthrough to deliver up to 12W of power. The following table displays the PoE passthrough options for the US-8:
| Power Input | PoE Passthrough |
| 802.3af In | No PoE Out |
| 802.3at In | 802.3af Out |
| Power Supply (Included) | 48V Passive Out |
UniFi Controller
Designed for convenient management, the UniFi Controller software allows admins to configure and monitor the UniFi Switch and other UniFi devices using a graphical user interface. You can download it from www.ubnt.com at no extra charge – there is no separate software, licensing, or support fee.
Multi-Site Management
A single instance of the UniFi Controller running in the cloud can manage multiple UniFi sites within a centralized interface. Each site is logically separated and has its own network monitoring, configuration, maps, statistics, and admin accounts.
Switch Configuration
You can access any managed UniFi Switch through the UniFi Controller to configure a variety of features:
• Operation mode (switching, mirroring, or aggregate) per port
• Network/VLAN configuration
• Jumbo frame and flow control services
• Network settings
• Storm control setting per port
• Spanning tree configuration
• 802.1x control and RADIUS VLAN
• Debug terminal option for command-line interface
Switch Port Status
You can also view status information for each port:
• Connection speed and duplex mode
• TX/RX data rates
• Network/VLAN setting
Mounting Versatility
The UniFi Switch offers the following mounting options:
• Wall Mounting You can attach the UniFi Switch to a vertical surface using the included wall-mounting hardware. You can position the switch so that the ports face in any of four directions: up, down, left, or right.
• Desktop Placement You can place the UniFi Switch on a level, horizontal surface such as a table or desktop. The built-in, non-skid rubber feet help hold the switch firmly in place.
Security Slot
To help deter theft, you can attach a lock to the security slot on the side of the UniFi Switch.
