UniFi USW-Ultra Switch — 8-Port PoE+ 42W

The Ubiquiti USW-Ultra is a compact Layer 2 managed switch that delivers professional-grade networking in an innovative, space-saving design. With 7 GbE PoE+ output ports and 1 GbE PoE++ input port, this switch offers a unique deployment advantage: it can be powered via PoE++, eliminating the need for a separate power supply in many installations. This makes it ideal for extending network infrastructure to locations where AC power access is limited or costly to install, such as outdoor locations, warehouses, or areas where clean cable management is essential.

• 42W PoE budget when powered by PoE++ input, sufficient to power multiple UniFi cameras, access points, or VoIP phones simultaneously
• 16W PoE budget available when powered by PoE+ input for lighter deployments
• Versatile mounting options enable flexible installation on walls, poles, or in tight spaces where traditional switches won’t fit
• Layer 2 switching with full UniFi Controller integration for centralized management and monitoring
• Compact form factor perfect for expanding network drops in existing buildings without extensive infrastructure changes

This switch excels in scenarios where you need to expand network connectivity beyond your main equipment room—think retail point-of-sale clusters, security camera arrays in remote building areas, or wireless access point deployments on different floors. The ability to daisy-chain power and data through a single cable simplifies installation significantly, reducing both labor costs and cable clutter. For IT professionals and integrators managing UniFi ecosystems, the USW-Ultra provides an elegant solution for distributed network architectures while maintaining the seamless management experience you expect from the UniFi platform.
