Easy install and joins my Ubiquiti network for total monitoring
I wanted a managed Gigabit switch to connect my network. The switch came nicely packed with the power supply. UK lead was also supplied by NetXL so no hunting around as one doesn't come in the actual box as it wouldn't fit.Straight out of the box, devices supports 8 Gigabit connections with 4 POE. Point to note is that it only supports the IEEE 802.3af standard (48 volts) and doesn't cater for the 24 volt passive devices (although the 150W version does). An adaptor is available for that from Ubiquiti (INS-3AF-I-G Indoor Gigabit Adapter)It warns you to have airspace around the device and it does run warm to the touch! Straight plug and play, out with my unmanaged switch and in with this which reports back on port usage and speeds to the ubiquiti Unifi controller. Lights are on the top so no bending down to see what the port speed or PoE status is. It also checks for firmware updates from the web and informs you through the unified controller.The unit was supplied by NetXL and their service was so fast - the next day on all purchases I've made.

Unifi US 8 60 W: Ubiquiti pro gear for the serious user
I bought this after getting my first Unifi UAP AC Pro as it seemed a good way to manage my network and provide POE for other devices. The build quality is excellent (it’s all steel) and is quite small, so is easy to locate. Mine came with a UK power adapter and plug and some wall fixings, should you want to mount it that way. In use, it runs pretty hot, but otherwise it is excellent and gives granular control of the network through the Unifi controller. I would thoroughly recommend this product.

Great little PoE switch.
UniFi switches - you get what you pay for. I have several of these and the associated AP's and USG/Cloud Key and my WiFi and home network is super reliable and fast!Bear in mind this switch is NOT passive 24V PoE compatible - if you want to drive something that needs this (eg older UniFi AP or CCTV cameras) you'll need an in-line adapter.Ubiquiti Networks INS-8023AF-I Instant Power Adapter or the Gigabit version Ubiquiti INS-3AF-I-G Indoor Gigabit Adapter.

Top Notch
Not a networking guy, but understand the different networking jargons at a high level so dont expect far too detailed technical review of the product here.I purchased the switch to work alongside a pfSense router which it is performing flawlessly till date.Setup was very straightforward with unifi controller.With the help of online tutorials, I have also managed to configure VLANs and trunks which is bit tricky the first time.Device itself is very compact which can be fixed to a wall. In terms of device temperature, still early days, but running at optimal temperature so far.i found installing unifi controller on raspberry pi much cheaper than going for unifi alternative.

Good product for the price.
Very good product. The only downside is that the unit get get hot.

Useful Enterprise Switch for local flexibility
More expensive that mainstream switches, but if you use Ubiquiti, you are already used to buying non domestic kit for your network. You get what you pay for. I have now dumped all my unmanaged switches in both of my installations. Have several of these to avoid running many ethernet cables back to the main switch but importantly you have complete control over the ports etc.. The 4 port POE capability adds local flexibility to power other POE driven devices. Importantly keep Wifi free of non mobile devices that can sensibly hard connected.

Impressive POE switch that’s easy to set up and operate on a Unifi network.
Very quick to install and adopt on my existing network. The 4 POE ports will power the unifi Cloudkey device with no issues ( this is the lower power version) and it provides port level configurability on the switch. Based on this I plan to buy another two for my network.

Excellent piece of tech
This powers my home poe devices, 4 camera's, 2 x AP's all with no problems. Simple to setup, you need a unifi controller to do mind, but if your buying unifi you know all about this sort of stuff.Don't go anywhere else, buy this now....

Soddisfatto
è uno switch versatile, gestito e soprattutto può essere incluso nel gestore generale di UNIFI, il che lo rende ancora più funzionale.

Funcionamiento adecuado para varios VLANs, trae 4 POE
Instalación y configuración a través del Controlador. Y funciona perfectamente para las redes creadas y se administra muy bien en conjunto con USG 4PRO.

Perfect small PoE+ switch
Very simple to setup if you have the cloud key. I already had a Ubiquiti Edge router, so I simply plugged these in, acquired them and some simple configuration to get up and running. I would consider Ubiquiti to be a prosumer grade of product. I'm in IT for a living and have networking knowledge and find these very simple to setup and administer. Most home network admins would be able to figure it out with some perseverance if they want anything other that simple switch capabilities. If you want to start to setup VLAN's and basic firewall configurations, go with a whole Ubiquity solution end to end and use the wizards. They are very effective and will help you learn as you go. Router/Firewall-Switch-Access Points-IoT(Cameras) all very compatible.

Switch is a winner as an integral part of a Ubiquiti system (or by itself)
Great switch. It's the central part of my Ubiquiti setup. I use the POE to power the UAP-AC-IW, and it works flawlessly but no longer supports POE passthrough. Passthrough requires POE+, which this switch doesn't support. I wasn't using the passthrough anyway, so no loss for me. However, using this switch to power my AP allowed me to remove the POE+ injector I was using from my setup, so that's a plus. This switch is really well built, metal case and small form factor. I needed a POE switch with aggregation ability in a small form factor so this managed switch fit perfectly. As others have said, it does run hot with it's passive cooling design. Physics says that's probably not good for the long term life of the components, but I've never heard of Ubiquiti long term quality problems. Also, I have a fan pushing air to this and my Edgerouter X-SFP just in case, but I wouldn't have bothered if I didn't have that fan lying around. The switch is easy to configure with the Unifi controller (software) that I already had running for my AP. If you don't already have Unifi Controller running, it's still very easy to set up.There wasn't any other switch that met my requirements for my setup, small, POE, managed. Even better, I was already in the Ubiquiti ecosystem so it makes implementation and management that much easier. If you have a UAP and/or USG, this is a no-brainer. Even if you don't, the ease of management and control on this switch makes it very appealing. I recently replaced a quality all in one router with a Ubiquiti setup and it's one of the best things I've ever done for my home. If you rely on internet and the network like most modern people do, look into it.[Excerpt from another of my Unifi reviews:]As much as I like this switch, the real star is the whole Ubiquiti modular setup. My network is so bulletproof now. I don't ever have to worry about network being up or inconsistent wifi speeds. Where it used to be common to hear that the "internet is down" or "too slow" from my family, I have not heard a peep about the network or experienced any performance issues in the couple months that I've had this system. And this is while I've been literally constantly monitoring it throughout the day since implementation. Not a single hiccup or issue, and we probably stream video as much as anyone (cable cutters). I may sound like a Ubiquiti fanboy, but it's because this is working for me way beyond my expectations. Other setups from other brands could work just as well, I just don't have experience with them. I just heard so much about the ALMOST consumer level ease of Ubiquiti with the flexibility and power of enterprise. But honestly, if you have experience with consumer routers from 10 years ago, it's not much harder to configure, if at all. Also there's a very big support community and very helpful videos on youtube. Regardless of any trouble in setup, it's worth the initial pain to not have to deal with a slow or down network or internet on a weekly/daily basis. I'm never going back to less than excellent performance again.
