EdgeRouter X SFP — 5-Port Router with PoE & SFP

The EdgeRouter X SFP (ER-X-SFP) is a compact yet powerful router that delivers enterprise-level routing performance in a budget-friendly package. Part of Ubiquiti’s EdgeMAX ecosystem rather than UniFi, this router is designed for users who prefer CLI-based configuration and advanced routing capabilities. With its fanless design and desktop form factor, the ER-X-SFP provides quiet, reliable operation suitable for both home offices and small business deployments where space is at a premium.

• Five Gigabit RJ45 ports with 24V passive PoE support on all ports, enabling you to power compatible devices like cameras or access points
• One SFP port for fiber connectivity, providing flexible WAN or LAN uplink options for longer-distance connections
• 50W total PoE budget allows powering multiple devices simultaneously without additional power injectors
• Advanced routing features including VLAN support, hardware offloading, and multiple WAN load balancing
• Dual power options accepting either standard power adapter or passive PoE input for flexible installation

This router excels in scenarios requiring cost-effective routing with PoE distribution, such as small branch offices, remote network closets, or installations where you need to power surveillance cameras while maintaining separate network segments. The SFP port adds versatility for fiber connections or high-speed uplinks, making it suitable for bridging network segments across longer distances. While it requires more networking knowledge than UniFi products and uses the EdgeOS interface rather than the UniFi Controller, the ER-X-SFP offers exceptional value for users comfortable with command-line configuration or who need the advanced routing capabilities that EdgeMAX provides.
