User Manual
FAQ
What is the total PoE budget of this switch?
The Ubiquiti USW-Pro-XG-8-PoE provides a total PoE budget of 155 watts. This power is distributed across all eight 10GbE ports, supporting PoE++ devices that require higher power delivery than standard PoE or PoE+ equipment. The substantial budget allows simultaneous operation of multiple high-power devices such as advanced wireless access points, pan-tilt-zoom cameras, or digital signage displays.
How many SFP+ uplink ports does this switch have?
This switch includes two SFP+ expansion slots for uplink connections. These slots support 10 Gigabit Ethernet fiber optic transceivers, providing flexible connectivity options for linking to core switches or creating fiber backbone connections. The SFP+ slots complement the eight built-in 10GBase-T copper ports, offering media flexibility for different network segments and distance requirements.
What Layer does this switch support?
The USW-Pro-XG-8-PoE operates at Layer 3, providing routing capabilities beyond basic Layer 2 switching. Layer 3 support enables inter-VLAN routing, policy-based routing, and dynamic routing protocols for more complex network architectures. This makes the switch suitable for segmenting networks, implementing security policies between subnets, and building scalable network designs without requiring separate routers for basic routing functions.
What types of network cables are supported?
This switch supports both twisted pair copper cables and optical fiber connections. The eight RJ-45 ports work with standard Category 6A or better twisted pair cables for 10GBase-T connections up to 100 meters. The two SFP+ slots accept fiber optic transceivers for 10GBase-X connections, supporting both multi-mode and single-mode fiber for longer distance requirements beyond what copper cabling can achieve.
Can this switch be wall-mounted?
Yes, the USW-Pro-XG-8-PoE supports multiple mounting options including desktop placement, wall mounting, and installation in compact network enclosures. The switch features a form factor specifically designed for flexible deployment outside traditional wiring closets. Wall mounting kits or brackets may be available separately to secure the switch in locations where desktop space is limited or where vertical installation is preferred for cable management.
What management features are included?
This managed switch includes comprehensive network management capabilities such as Access Control Lists for security policies, Virtual LAN support for network segmentation, Quality of Service for traffic prioritization, IGMP snooping for multicast optimization, port mirroring for network monitoring, and loop protection for network stability. These features provide granular control over network traffic, security, and performance for business environments requiring advanced network administration.
