Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Does this unit have a fan?

A: No. The case is used as a heatsink and becomes extremely hot to the touch.

Q: 2. how many poe ports does it have?

A: All 48 Gigabit Ethernet ports are auto-sensing PoE+ IEEE 802.3at/af ports by default or can be configured for 24V Passive PoE. The maximum wattage per port when in 802.3at/af mode is 34.2W. The maximum wattage per port when configured for 24V Passive PoE is 17W. The combined power draw of all 48 ports in any configuration combination may not exceed 436W (the switch itself consumes 64W of the 500W provided by the power supply for operation).

Q: 3. Can this switch be powered by POE from a different US-8-60w?

A: No, the Ubiquiti Networks US-8-60W UniFi 8-Port Gigabit PoE Compliant Managed Switch cannot be powered by POE from another US-8-60W.

Q: 4. On the 8 port passive POE switch, could you power a POE device and a POE+ device?

A: The Ubiquiti Networks US-8 UniFi 8-Port Gigabit PoE Compliant Managed Switch can only supply PoE power via its single PoE passthough port.

Q: 5. Can this switch be used without a controller as an unmanaged switch out of the box or is controller based setup required?

A: Yes, the Ubiquiti Networks US-8-60W UniFi 8-Port Gigabit PoE Compliant Managed Switch BH #UBUS860W can be used unmanaged if you don't go through the controller setup or need any of the features.

Q: 6. Can this power on the Ubiquiti EdgeRouter X via one of its POE interfaces?

A: Even if it physically could, I really wouldn't and would run all switching equipment on dedicated power from a proper power supply.

Q: 7. Does this switch get hot and can I mount it on a wall?

A: Yes, you can easily mount the switch to a wall or other flat surface via the two anchors and mounting screws provided in the product's box.Depending on the number of devices you're powering via PoE the switch can get warm, but in my experince not hot.

Q: 8. L2 OR L3?

A: The Ubiquiti Networks UniFi Switch US-48-500W 48-Port Gigabit PoE+ Compliant Managed Switch with SFP+ is L2, but not L3.

Q: 9. I current own this switch but need a switch with more ports (I need 12 ports). Which model should I upgrade to?

A: You could simply add the same model to the current switch and network and double your ports. This is an example of a higher level switch with more ports: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1273932-REG/ubiquiti_networks_us_16_150w_us_unifi_switch_16port.html

Q: 10. Can I use this to power a JVC KY-PZ100 that has POE+ (IEEE802.3at Type2) power?

A: We would suggest going with this model for non-Ubiquiti Unifi products, https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1097087-REG/linksys_lgs108p_8_port_desktop_gigabit_switch.html
