There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
The switch is of solid construction and well made. Do be aware that because of the passive cooling design, it does run quite warm when providing POE power out of more than three of its ports.
I had a specific use for the switch which was to run my IoT devices, WiFi Speakers, Smart Lights, Smart TV's on their network seperate from my computer LAN.
The supporting application make it easy to configure, with basic knowledge of VLAN's and networking required.
(For the Newbies if you want to do VLAN's you need a router capable of doing VLAN tagging).
The POE ports with 250 Watts of power supply my cloud key and UniFi WiFi access point effortlessly.
Plenty of capacity for powering POE cameras if so desired.
I wouldn't recommend this switch if you only need dumb switching.

Finally get it off only to find I have what looks like an expensive extremely abused piece of electronics .
Bent lid with screws not installed , scratches etc.
Was so looking forward to receiving this,only to get a very used one.
Edit : I forgot the most important part . There was a beat up D-Link 16 port switch in a Ubiquiti box . I never even received a Ubiquiti switch .

Pros:
First, the build quality is top notch. The metal housing feels like it's coated in some kind of finish that almost sparkles in the light. The build is sturdy and nothing sounds loose whem you give it a shake.
Second, I love that the power supply is built inside the frame on this unit. I owned the 8 port 60 watt model for a few weeks, which I returned in favor for this model. The 60 watt model has a power brick on the included power cable, but this model doesn't have that. It makes cabling more tidy.
Third, the included sfp ports are nice if you need just a couple more ports. With copper gbic sfp modules, you can add two more rj45 ports. Or, if you want to bring fiber optic right to the switch, you have that option to install a fiber optic sfp module.
Fourth, having all 8 copper ports capable of pushing POE+ (802.1af AND 802.1at POE standards). This is nice to push more power to your Unifi APs and some Unifi cameras that can take advantage of the 802.1at POE+ standard.
Fifth, I love the Unifi controller software. It works quickly and is simple to setup. One main attractor of why I choose Ubiquiti was the unified controller for all of my gear. I love having one place to configure and view status of my home network.
Con:
I can only say that 200$ for an 8 port switch is steep. However, $200 for an 8 port + 2sfp + 802.1at + ubiquiti Unifi software switch, I can justify the price.
Keep up the great work Ubiquiti. I would love to see more features on the Unifi controller, like native vlan configuration per port, dhcp snooping, Switch port Mac security, and lldp support when connecting non ubiquiti devices. With some of those extra features, I would be more likely to setup ubiquiti for my business networks. (See Update 1)
UPDATE 1 - 4/11/2018
Ubiquiti has provided frequent software updates for the switch and the unifi controller. They have included some great features I wished they had at the beginning of my review.
Switchport Profiles - This allows you to configure a profile for a certian switchport purpose. I.E. Uplinks, POE ports, AP ports, Phone ports, Camera ports, etc. You can now assign a native vlan for trunked ports, and permit only certain vlans. Other advanced options are now available like 802.1X Control, manual link negotiation (duplex and speed), storm-control( multicast, broadcast and unknown unicast flooding!), manual LLDP configuration, and rate limiting! It is very nice to see some of these more advanced features available on the controller now!!! If the software keeps advancing like this, my 200 dollar investment is looking great.

1.) Single pane of glass management: If you're already running another UniFi device and have a pre-existing instance of the UniFi Controller (via local install, VM, AWS instance, or cloud key), adopting this switch and making the necessary adjustments to its configuration are very intuitive. Provisioning VLANs and assigning per-port configurations are far more complex in other vendor's UIs and solutions. At a glance, you can quickly discern connected MAC address, link speed, and whether or not PoE is in use. Configuration changes apply quickly with no disruption. Updating firmware revisions is also incredibly simple. No TFTP, SFTP, other protocols/solutions are required as long as you have a running UniFi controller.
2.) 24V Passive and PoE+ capabilities: While the current-generation UAP-AC-Pro can operate with either PoE specification, the lesser APs and legacy APs require 24V Passive distribution capability within the switch or use of an injector. This switch supports the full gamut of UniFi APs without issue, along with the other miscellaneous UniFi portfolio offerings. While the 250W rating will cap the total number of PoE-enabled devices one can run, it's a balanced compromise for environments that won't be loading the switch ports up with an overabundance of PoE endpoints. The 500W variant of this switch better addresses that market.
3.) Price: If you watch very, very carefully, you can get a pretty spectacular deal on this switch from Amazon.
4.) Build Quality and Noise Considerations: The construction and aesthetics of this switch are unequaled at this price point. It's clean, minimalist, and has the necessary indicators that provide the ability to know what its doing using nothing more than a quick glance. The labels and LEDs do the job well and are clear. As a point of reference, this switch makes less fan noise than an HP V1910 switch with the stock delta fan. It's not silent, but it would be far more tolerable if you are forced to keep the switch out in the open or within close proximity to other equipment.
Minor caveats of note include:
1.) Port Aggregation: Ports that will be aggregated (e.g. LACP/LLDP interfaces) are limited to a quantity of four, and follow in series from the first port defined for the aggregated link. Selecting Port 2 (as an example) will allow you to aggregate Ports 2 through 5. There are cabling considerations to be processed and accounted for if you're using aggregation.
2.) Availability: Procuring this switch at list price (or slightly better than list price) can be a challenge. As long as you're not in a rush, you won't be gouged.
3.) Dependency on the UniFi Controller. Once configured, the controller won't be required to run 24/7. If you want to make a change, you need an active controller that has adopted all UniFi products. Many options exist to fulfill this purpose including the UniFi Cloud Key, a VM, an AWS instance, or running the controller on a PC of your choosing. Weigh the pros and cons of each before making the commitment to the best option in this space.
None of these caveats detract from what is another excellent product made by Ubiquiti.

1) UBIQUITI UNIFI SWITCH - 24 PORTS MANAGED (US-24-250W)
This Ubiquity switch is built like a tank, with a solid box and good cooling and hit the spot perfectly for my needs. (I considered the Edgerouter line before but I didn't have a need for routing functionality so I stayed away. I also used some Toughswitch-8 switches but found them to run quite hot and occasionally flake out) The performance of this switch is more than enough for my needs. The POE is a huge feature for me - I use Unifi access points and video cameras so the built-in passive POE saves me a lot of power injectors (I don't use 802.3af POE, but it's nice to know it's there.) The switch integrates nicely into the PC-resident Unify management software that I was already using for my access point. If you are not a "Unify shop" and the switch is the only thing you'll manage with the software it may be a tougher sell to have to install and run the server software on a PC (but frankly I think hardware like this is a big argument for becoming a Unify shop.)
I only wish the Unify software offered better monitoring and stats of the switch's hardware, particularly on traffic stats. All you get are totals of how much upstream and downstream data has run through the switch and each port since the switch was last started. I would like to get real time throughput stats in bytes/s and packets/s for each port (to see if a link needs to be upgraded to gigabit, if I am experiencing a storm etc.) I would also like to see what MAC addresses are being served by each port in the switch (something my no-frills 5-port mikrotik RB260 switches readily give me.) Note that there appears to be a way to get into the switch opening a debug terminal, for all I know that route may offer some of these capabilities. However I never managed to bring up the debug terminal from the Unify software (I always get a "Connection Error"), and in any case to be of widespread utility these capabilities should be in the GUI itself.
BOTTOM LINE: This solid switch from Ubiquity hits the spot right on (especially if you have other Unify products) and it has lots of future potential.
2) UBIQUITI NETWORKS 8-PORT UNIFI SWITCH, 150W (US-8-150W)
This switch is simply an 8-port version of item 1) above and it deserves the same highly positive review. One notable difference is that it does not have a cooling fan, which elicits mixed feelings. On one hand it is great that the switch can work silently in settings where noise matters (i.e. anywhere away from the wiring cabinet) and it is also great that the switch is reasonably small for a switch with an on-board power supply. Kudos to the hardware designers for pulling those off. On the other hand having an onboard power supply puts the switch squarely in the enterprise switch class, where reliability and long hardware life is paramount even in harsh/hot environments. The ideal would have been for this switch to include a fan (hopefully in the same form factor) while giving the user the option to turn set it on off/on/auto. In the off mode the switch would become the equivalent of the switch as currently offered.
BOTTOM LINE: Another great switch from Ubiquity, time will tell how reliable/long lived it is with no active cooling.
3) UBIQUITI US-8-60W UNIFI SWITCH and
4) UBIQUITI US-8 UNIFI SWITCH
While all 4 switches reviewed here share the same data handling capabilities and management software, these last 2 switches are in a class of their own. The first thing you notice is that they are both super small, a great form factor to stash in all kinds of small cabinets. Part of that size reduction stems from the fact that the power supply is not built in, it is the external cord-mounted type. (I hope that Ubiquity will come out with a 5-port version in a similarly tight form factor.)
These two switches dramatically part company from their bigger brothers – 1) and 2) - in their PoE support. Let’s compare:
- The built-in power supply switches – items 1) and 2) above - do a marvelously elegant job handling PoE. Each of their ports offers a choice of “legacy” (24V passive) PoE on pins 4-5-7-8 or 802.3ax on pins 1-2-3-6. This means they can power the entire line of traditional Ubiquity 24V devices (and that of other compatible manufacturers like Mikrotik), and they can power all current and future 802.3ax devices. Such 802.3ax compatible devices are starting to show up in the Ubiquity lineup (e.g. the G3 Dome cameras, the Unify HD access points.) Note that these switches will never let you burn a passive 24V legacy device as they never put out anything higher than 24V on pins 4-5-7-8.
- The US-8-60W – item 3) above - drops 24V passive PoE support. That is a big loss if you have a collection of passive 24V legacy devices (as of today most Ubiquity PoE devices fall in this class.) You can buy an adapter form Ubiquity to handle these devices with this switch but it costs about $ 25 per device, and if you are going to tolerate dongles you might as well keep using a separate power injector (you won’t have remote control capability but that is a relatively small loss.) So this switch is a big bet on the bright 802.3ax future; if you are not in a hurry to make that jump you may want to hold off buying it (In my case I put the switch to work handling a couple G3 Dome cameras.)
- The US-8 also drops 24V passive PoE support while it adds PoE In support, accepting both 802.3ax and 48V passive PoE. The PoE Out support in US-8 – item 4) above – is on the idiosyncratic side. Like the US-8-60W the switch drops 24V passive support, aiming at a future ruled by 802.3ax. The switch can output 802.3ac PoE on port 8 provided the switch is fed with 802.3at PoE. But if you feed the switch with the DC adapter port 8 will output a non-802.3x compliant 48V PoE on Port 8. With a little more circuitry the switch could have been made to output 802.3ac in the DC-fed case, instead of outputting a non-802.3ax compliant flavor of high voltage PoE. Also, this switch has the capability to output 48V passive to pins 4-5-7-8 or port 8, so if you make a mistake you could burn 24V passive devices with it.
BOTTOM LINE: The size and performance of these two switches makes them very attractive for any tight quarters. If you don’t need PoE the switches are a no-brainer purchase. If you need PoE you should make sure they support the kind of PoE that your devices need.

Gets a little warm - internal temp reads 60C on a shelf near other equipment in a large ~21C room, from photo the top of the case was ~30-36C (not unexpected for a 150W switch), so be sure the plan is to mount it somewhere with some airflow.
You will need either a computer or a UniFi cloud key running the UniFi Controller software to use the manged features.
