User Manual
FAQ
How many PoE ports does the Ubiquiti UISP-S switch have?
The Ubiquiti UISP-S has eight Gigabit Ethernet ports, all of which support Power over Ethernet (PoE). This allows you to power connected devices like wireless access points, IP cameras, and VoIP phones directly through the network cables, simplifying installation and reducing the need for separate power adapters.
What is the purpose of the SFP slot on this switch?
The SFP slot provides a modular uplink for fiber optic connectivity, enabling you to extend your network over longer distances or connect to high-speed fiber backbones. It supports 1000Base-X technology, making it ideal for WISP deployments, inter-building links, or connections to core switches where copper cabling is insufficient.
Is the Ubiquiti UISP-S a managed switch?
Yes, the UISP-S is a fully manageable Layer 2 switch. It offers features such as VLAN support for network segmentation, Quality of Service (QoS) for traffic prioritization, and Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) for loop prevention. This manageability provides greater control over network performance and security compared to unmanaged switches.
Can this switch be wall-mounted?
Yes, the switch is designed for wall mounting, with a form factor that includes mounting holes on the chassis. This allows for flexible installation in space-constrained areas like network closets, under desks, or on walls, helping to keep cables organized and save rack or shelf space.
What is the power consumption of the UISP-S switch?
The switch has a low power consumption of 8 watts, making it energy-efficient for continuous operation. It can be powered by a 24-28 V DC input or via PoE, offering deployment flexibility in environments where power outlets are limited or where centralized power sourcing is preferred.
What types of cables does this switch support?
The switch supports twisted pair cables for 10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet over distances up to 100 meters, as well as optical fiber cables via the SFP slot for 1000Base-X connections. This dual-media support allows you to use cost-effective copper cabling for most connections and fiber for high-bandwidth or long-distance uplinks.
