Technical Overview
This switch operates at Layer 2, providing essential switching functions like VLAN support, QoS, and spanning tree protocol for network stability and segmentation. The eight Gigabit Ethernet ports auto-negotiate between 10/100/1000 Mbps speeds, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of devices from legacy equipment to modern endpoints.
The integrated SFP slot accepts mini-GBIC modules for fiber optic or copper uplinks, extending network reach beyond standard twisted-pair limitations. Managed capabilities allow administrators to configure port settings, monitor traffic, and implement security policies through a web interface or compatible management software.
Relevant factors for this section include Total Number of Network Ports, Network (RJ-45), Uplink Port, 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.
Key Product Advantages

- Supports PoE and PoE+ devices
Fiber-Ready Uplink
The SFP expansion slot enables fiber optic connections for long-distance uplinks or high-bandwidth aggregation, providing flexibility in network topology design.
- Extends network reach
- Reduces electromagnetic interference
- Supports 100/1000Base-X standards
Deployment / Use Cases
This switch is well-suited for small to medium business networks, retail environments, and remote office locations where reliable connectivity and basic management are priorities.
Common deployments include connecting workstations, printers, and VoIP phones in an office, linking security cameras and access points in surveillance setups, or serving as an aggregation switch for departmental networks. Its compact size and low power consumption also make it a fit for wall-mounted or shallow rack installations.
Office Network Core
Serve as the central switch for a small office, providing Gigabit connectivity to desktops, network storage, and peripherals while offering VLAN segmentation for security.
PoE Deployment Hub
Power and connect multiple PoE devices like wireless access points or IP cameras from a single unit, streamlining infrastructure in retail or hospitality settings.
Physical Profile
The switch measures 8.28" wide by 3.74" deep by 1.14" high, with a weight of 1.32 pounds. Its slim 1U-height design and polycarbonate construction ensure durability while minimizing rack space. The compact footprint allows installation in tight spaces, and the included mounting hardware supports standard rack rails for secure deployment.
The physical profile is practical for deployment planning because the dimensions and weight are clearly defined: 1.14" (29 mm), 8.28" (210.40 mm), 3.74" (95 mm), 1.32 lb (600 g). This helps confirm rack, shelf, desk, or cabinet fit before installation.

FAQ
How many devices can I connect to this switch?
The Ubiquiti UISP-R provides eight Gigabit Ethernet ports, allowing direct connection for up to eight network devices such as computers, printers, IP phones, or wireless access points. The SFP uplink slot can connect to another switch or router for further expansion.
Does this switch support Power over Ethernet?
Yes, all eight RJ-45 ports on the UISP-R support Power over Ethernet. This allows you to power compatible devices like VoIP phones, security cameras, or access points directly through the network cable, reducing the need for separate power adapters.
What is the purpose of the SFP slot?
The SFP slot is an expansion uplink that accepts mini-GBIC modules for connecting to fiber optic or copper networks. It enables longer-distance connections, reduces electromagnetic interference, and provides flexibility for linking to other switches or network backbones at 100 Mbps or 1 Gbps speeds.
Is this a managed or unmanaged switch?
The UISP-R is a managed Layer 2 switch. It offers management features such as VLAN configuration, Quality of Service settings, port monitoring, and spanning tree protocol support through a web interface or management software, giving administrators control over network performance and security.
What are the dimensions and rack compatibility?
The switch measures 8.28 inches wide, 3.74 inches deep, and 1.14 inches high, with a weight of 1.32 pounds. Its 1U-height design is rack-mountable using standard rack rails, making it suitable for server cabinets or wall-mounted installations in space-constrained environments.
What is the power consumption of this switch?
The UISP-R has a power consumption of 10 watts under typical operation. This low power draw contributes to energy efficiency and reduces heat output, supporting reliable performance in environments where power availability or cooling may be limited.
