The Ubiquiti USW-Ultra is a compact Layer 2 Gigabit Ethernet switch that brings professional-grade networking capabilities to space-constrained deployments. This innovative 8-port switch stands out with its unique PoE++ input capability, allowing it to be powered and deployed virtually anywhere without requiring a nearby power outlet—perfect for mounting in ceiling spaces, network closets, or remote locations where AC power isn’t readily available. When powered via PoE++, the switch delivers 42W of PoE budget across its seven PoE+ output ports, making it ideal for powering UniFi access points, cameras, VoIP phones, and other PoE-enabled devices.

• Seven GbE PoE+ output ports provide reliable power and connectivity for your network devices
• One GbE PoE++ input port enables flexible deployment without AC power requirements
• 42W total PoE budget when powered via PoE++ input (16W with PoE+ input)
• Versatile mounting options allow installation in tight spaces, on walls, or in standard rack configurations
• Layer 2 switching with full UniFi Controller integration for seamless management

This switch excels in scenarios where you need to extend your network into areas without convenient power access—think expanding camera coverage to a detached building, adding access points in remote sections of a warehouse, or creating network drops in newly renovated spaces. The compact form factor and flexible mounting make it exceptionally easy to deploy, while UniFi Controller integration ensures you maintain centralized visibility and management across your entire network. At this price point, the USW-Ultra delivers exceptional value for integrators and business owners who need professional switching capabilities without the complexity of running new electrical circuits.
