Ubiquiti UniFi Switch 8 150W
8-port Managed PoE+ Gigabit Switches with SFP

Overview:

Build and expand your network with Ubiquiti Networks UniFi Switch, part of the UniFi line of products. The UniFi Switch is a fully managed, PoE+ Gigabit switch, delivering robust performance and intelligent switching for growing networks.

UniFi Switch 8 (150W Model)
Model: US-8-150W

• (8) Gigabit RJ45 Ports
• (2) SFP Ports
• Non-Blocking Throughput: 10 Gbps
• Switching Capacity: 20 Gbps
• Forwarding Rate: 14.88 Mpps
• Maximum Power Consumption: 150W
• Supports POE+ IEEE 802.3at/af and 24V Passive PoE
• Quiet, Fanless Operation
• Rackmountable with Rack-Mount Brackets (Included)
• Desktop-Mountable (Do not physically stack the US-8-150W.)

Switching Performance

The UniFi Switch offers the forwarding capacity to simultaneously process traffic on all ports at line rate without any packet loss.

PoE+ Flexibility

The UniFi Switch models are available with 8, 16, 24, or 48 PoE Gigabit Ethernet ports of auto-sensing IEEE 802.3af/at or configurable 24V passive PoE to simplify your infrastructure. By default, the UniFi Switch automatically detects 802.3af/at devices so they automatically receive PoE.

Fiber Connectivity

The UniFi Switch provides fiber connectivity options for easy expansion of your networks. Each UniFi Switch model includes two SFP ports for uplinks of up to 1 Gbps.

Features:

Versatile Port Configuration

Eight Gigabit RJ45 ports offer different power output options: auto-sensing IEEE 802.3af/at PoE/PoE+ and 24V passive PoE, and two SFP ports provide optical fiber connectivity options to support uplinks of up to 1 Gbps.

Integration with UniFi Controller

The compact UniFi Switch can be placed on a desktop and integrates with the UniFi Controller software for centralized management of your UniFi devices.

Advanced Enterprise Switching

The UniFi Switch supports 802.1X authentication, dynamic and static VLAN tagging, port isolation, storm control, and guest control.

Deployment:

Network Topology

• A DHCP-enabled network for the UniFi Switch to obtain an IP address (connected devices will also obtain IP addresses after deployment)
• A UniFi Cloud Key or management station running the UniFi Controller v4.8.5 (or newer) software, located either on-site and connected to the same Layer 2 network, or off-site in a cloud or NOC

Advanced Network Switching

Managed by the UniFi Controller software, the UniFi Switch delivers powerful performance, intelligent switching, and PoE+ support for your enterprise networks.

UniFi Controller

Designed for convenient management, the UniFi Controller software allows admins to configure and monitor the UniFi Switch and other UniFi devices using a graphical user interface. You can download it from www.ubnt.com at no extra charge – there is no separate software, licensing, or support fee.

Multi-Site Management

A single instance of the UniFi Controller running in the cloud can manage multiple UniFi sites within a centralized interface. Each site is logically separated and has its own network monitoring, configuration, maps, statistics, and admin accounts.

Switch Configuration

You can access any managed UniFi Switch through the UniFi Controller to configure a variety of features:

• PoE setting per port
• Operation mode (switching, mirroring, or aggregate) per port
• Network/VLAN configuration
• Jumbo frame and flow control services
• Network settings
• Storm control setting per port
• Spanning tree configuration

Switch Port Status

You can also view status information for each port:

• Connection speed and duplex mode
• TX/RX data rates
• PoE status
• Network/VLAN setting

Dashboard
The Dashboard tab provides a visual representation of your network’s status. Basic information is provided for each network segment.

Device Configuration
The Devices screen displays the UniFi devices discovered by the UniFi Controller. You can access each managed device for device details and configuration.

Miscellaneous:

Protect your networks from the most brutal environments with Ubiquiti's industrialgrade shielded ethernet cable, TOUGHCable.

• Increase Performance - Dramatically improve your ethernet link states, speeds, and overall performance with Ubiquiti TOUGHCables.
• Extreme Weatherproof - TOUGHCables have been built to perform even in the harshest weather and environments.
• ESD Damage Protection - Protect your networks from devastating electrostatic discharge (ESD) attacks.
• Extended Cable Support - TOUGHCables have been developed to have increased power handling performance for extended cable run lengths.

Bulletproof your networks

TOUGHCable is currently available in two versions: PRO Shielding Protection and CARRIER Shielding Protection.

Additional Information:

• 24 AWG copper conductor pairs
• 26 AWG integrated ESD drain wire to prevent ESD attacks and damage
• PE outdoor-rated, weatherproof jacket
• Multi-layered shielding
• Available in lengths of 1000 ft (304.8 m)

TOUGHCable Connectors

Specifically designed for use with Ubiquiti TOUGHCable, TOUGHCable Connectors protect against ESD attacks and Ethernet hardware damage, while allowing rapid field deployment without soldering. The standard TOUGHCable Connectors are available in a box of 100, while the TC-GND versions include ground wires and are available in a box of 20.

ESD attacks are the leading cause for device failures. The diagram below illustrates the areas vulnerable to ESD attacks in a network.	By using a grounded Ubiquiti Power over Ethernet (PoE) Adapter along with Ubiquiti TOUGHCable and TOUGHCable Connectors, you can effectively protect against ESD attacks.
