The Mercusys MS128GP is a robust 28-port gigabit rackmount switch that delivers professional-grade PoE+ capabilities at an exceptional value point. While this switch sits outside the UniFi ecosystem, it offers a compelling alternative for deployments where centralized cloud management isn’t required, making it particularly suitable for standalone installations, remote sites, or budget-conscious projects that still demand reliable performance and generous power budgets.

• 24× Gigabit PoE+ ports delivering up to 30W per port with a total 295W power budget, ideal for powering IP cameras, access points, and VoIP devices
• Extended range capability up to 250m in Extend Mode, eliminating the need for additional switches in large facilities or outdoor deployments
• 4× additional uplink options including 2 Gigabit copper ports and 2 SFP slots for flexible backbone connectivity
• PoE Auto Recovery automatically reboots unresponsive PoE devices, reducing truck rolls and maintaining uptime
• Isolation Mode enables simple VLAN-like traffic separation for enhanced security without complex configuration

With true plug-and-play operation requiring zero configuration, the MS128GP excels in scenarios where IT resources are limited or where integrators need rapid deployment capabilities. The Priority Mode ensures quality of service for latency-sensitive applications like surveillance systems, while the generous 5-year warranty provides long-term peace of mind. At its current price point, this switch delivers exceptional port density and PoE capacity for installations where UniFi’s cloud management features aren’t essential, making it an intelligent choice for warehouses, schools, or multi-building campuses requiring cost-effective PoE distribution.
