Ubiquiti UniFi USW-Enterprise-8-PoE — 8-Port 2.5GbE Layer 3 PoE+ Switch with 10G SFP+ Uplinks

Small port count, serious enterprise muscle. The Ubiquiti UniFi USW-Enterprise-8-PoE packs multi-gigabit 2.5GbE PoE+, blazing 10G fiber uplinks, and full Layer 3 routing into a silent, compact chassis that fits anywhere. It’s the switch for businesses and power users who refuse to let a Gigabit ceiling throttle their WiFi 6/7 access points — built to deliver future-ready speed and power without the size, noise, or cost of a big rack-mount unit.

Multi-Gigabit Speed Where Your APs Need It Most

Your newest access points can finally run wide open. The USW-Enterprise-8-PoE is a configurable Layer 3 switch offering eight 2.5GbE RJ45 ports with auto-sensing 802.3at PoE+ and two 10GbE SFP+ ports, providing 2.5GbE PoE links to your WiFi 6 APs and 10GbE fiber uplinks to your network.

That 2.5G-to-the-edge, 10G-to-the-core design is exactly what modern wireless demands. The two high-speed 10G SFP+ uplinks enable fast connections to aggregation switches, servers, or network storage, making it well suited for offices with multiple access points or creative environments handling large data transfers.

• 8 × 2.5GbE PoE+ ports to unlock the full speed of your WiFi 6/7 APs
• 2 × 10G SFP+ uplinks for high-bandwidth fiber backhaul
• 80 Gb/s (40 Gb/s non-blocking) switching capacity with a 59.52 Mpps forwarding rate
• Full Layer 3 routing for advanced, scalable network design

Power Your Devices Over a Single Cable

PoE+ keeps your installation clean and your devices fed. Each of the eight 2.5Gb Ethernet ports supports up to 32W of power with a total budget of 120W, ready to run security cameras, VoIP phones, and access points without separate power adapters. Delivering both data and power over one Ethernet cable simplifies deployment, reduces cabling complexity, and keeps installations clean and efficient.

With 120W on tap across eight ports, you’ve got generous headroom to power a full cluster of devices simultaneously — exactly what a growing edge deployment needs.

See and Manage Everything — From the Switch or Your Phone

This is where UniFi shines: enterprise control that’s genuinely easy to use. A convenient 1.3″ LCM color touchscreen lets you quickly configure, monitor, and troubleshoot connections, or you can manage the switch from almost anywhere using the UniFi Network app, which includes an augmented reality feature providing a visual overview of your port connections.

Whether you’re checking link status at the rack or adjusting VLANs from across town, the experience is fast, visual, and intuitive — no enterprise CLI gymnastics required.

Deployment Made Painless

• A single-row RJ45 port layout makes patch-panel cable management clean and simple
• Adopting it is effortless — managed by the UniFi Network application and mobile app, with simple Access Point addition
• The color touchscreen surfaces key system and connection insights at a glance

Silent, Compact, and Built to Blend In

Performance shouldn’t come with a hum or demand a server closet. Designed to blend into its environment, you can use the included hardware to mount it on a wall or flat surface, where it operates silently without causing a disturbance.

That makes it equally at home in a quiet office, a creative studio, a retail back room, or anywhere a noisy, bulky switch simply wouldn’t fit.

Why Businesses Choose the Enterprise 8 PoE

Real owners describe it as a genuine upgrade in capability and confidence. One small-business operator — and sole IT person — moved their entire company to Ubiquiti, from firewall and router down to the cameras, and reported that deploying these switches was a delight: easily adopted, simply mounted, and able to establish an enterprise-grade network for a small business without the need for an expensive IT company.

Who Is the USW-Enterprise-8-PoE For?

If you need multi-gigabit speed and PoE at the edge but not a 24- or 48-port giant, this is your match. It’s perfect for smaller businesses building or expanding a high-performance network, as well as advanced home labs, surveillance setups, and creative workspaces that have outgrown Gigabit. It’s a Layer 3 managed switch, controlled through the UniFi Network platform.

The Bottom Line

The Ubiquiti UniFi USW-Enterprise-8-PoE delivers 2.5GbE PoE+ to the edge, 10G fiber to the core, 120W of power, and Layer 3 intelligence — all in a silent, wall-mountable chassis managed through the UniFi platform you’ll love using. Free your access points from the Gigabit ceiling, power your devices over one cable, and run an enterprise-grade network without enterprise complexity. Add the USW-Enterprise-8-PoE to your network today and build the fast, future-ready foundation your wireless deserves.
