Product Features
Technical Overview
The ES-8-150W operates as a Layer 2 managed switch, offering advanced features like VLAN support, QoS, link aggregation, and storm control for optimized network traffic management. It supports 10/100/1000Base-TX over twisted pair and 1000Base-X via SFP modules, accommodating both copper and fiber media types for versatile deployment scenarios.
Power is supplied through an integrated power supply, with the switch capable of delivering PoE+ up to 30W per port across its eight RJ45 ports. The dual SFP slots are non-shared and support a range of SFP and SFP+ transceivers, allowing for uplink speeds up to 1 Gbps per slot. Management is accessible through a web interface, CLI, or Ubiquiti's UNMS software for centralized monitoring and configuration.
Relevant factors for this section include Total Number of Network Ports, Uplink Port, Modular, Media Type Supported. When those points are considered together, they give buyers a clearer picture of how the product is equipped, how it fits into deployment, and what kind of day-to-day role it is meant to support.

- VLAN and QoS support
- UNMS compatible
Deployment / Use Cases
The ES-8-150W is well-suited for small business networks, retail stores, branch offices, and educational environments where reliable, managed switching with PoE is required. Its compact size and wall-mountable design make it easy to install in wiring closets, under desks, or on wall racks without consuming excessive space.
Common use cases include powering a mix of Ubiquiti UniFi access points, VoIP phones, and IP surveillance cameras in a single rack or room. The SFP uplinks allow connection to a core switch or router over fiber for noise immunity and longer distances, while the eight Gigabit ports handle local device connectivity with PoE support for simplified cabling.
Small Office Networking
Deploy as the main switch in a small office to connect computers, printers, and PoE devices, with management features for segmenting traffic and prioritizing VoIP calls.
Edge Deployment
Use in remote locations or edge sites where space is limited, providing PoE to access points and cameras while linking back to headquarters via SFP fiber uplinks.
Physical Profile
The switch measures 9.25 inches wide, 8.03 inches deep, and 1.69 inches high, with a weight of 3.79 pounds. Its steel casing ensures durability, while the compact footprint fits easily on a desktop or in a shallow rack. The form factor supports standalone, desktop, or wall mounting, with included brackets for flexible installation in various environments.
The physical profile is practical for deployment planning because the dimensions and weight are clearly defined: 1.69" (43 mm), 9.25" (235 mm), 8.03" (204 mm), 3.79 lb (1720 g). This helps confirm rack, shelf, desk, or cabinet fit before installation.
