Ubiquiti USW-PRO-8-POE | UniFi Switch Pro 8 PoE | 28 Gbps Switch
A compact eight-port Layer 3 PoE switch for small server rooms, AV racks, or wiring closets where device count is low but power and uplink demands are not.
Why this one
- Two PoE++ ports deliver up to 64W each, which covers high-draw devices like pan-tilt cameras, video intercoms, or Wi-Fi 7 access points that standard PoE+ switches can't feed.
- Two 10G SFP+ uplinks let you connect to an aggregation switch or NAS at full speed, so the eight copper ports never become a bottleneck behind a slow uplink.
- Layer 3 routing with up to 256 IPv4 static routes means you can do inter-VLAN routing on the switch itself rather than pushing that traffic back to your gateway.
- The compact form factor mounts to a wall or sits on a desktop, useful in comms rooms where a full-depth rack switch is more than the space warrants.
Good fit if you're equipping a small office, AV installation, or secondary wiring closet where eight PoE ports cover your device count and you need at least one high-power drop for a demanding endpoint.
Worth considering something else if you need more than eight access ports — the USW-PRO-24-POE adds 16 additional PoE ports in the same product family and suits locations where the port count on this model runs out quickly.
What you'll also need
An IEC C13 power cable to a standard 240V outlet, Cat5e or better to each connected device, and SFP+ transceivers or DAC cables for the uplink ports if you're connecting to fibre or a distant aggregation switch — these are not included.
