System Requirements

IMPORTANT: We strongly recommend using UPS backup and power regulation to prevent equipment damage due to stability issues with local AC power.

PoE In (Port 1)

Supports 802.3af/at or 48V Passive PoE to power the switch and can provide 48V (2-pair) PoE passthrough to port 8.

PoE Out (Port 8)

48V (2-pair) PoE output is Off by default. Enabling PoE output (via the UniFi Network Application) requires 24W input power via PoE In or DC input.

RJ45 (Ports 1 - 8)

RJ45 ports support 10/100/1000 Ethernet connections.

Ancillary grounding point for enhanced ESD protection.

DC In

To power the switch by DC input, connect a 48V power adapter to the 48VDC port.

Reset Button

This button serves two functions for the UniFi Switch:

  • Restart Press and release the Reset button quickly.
  • Restore to Factory Default Settings Press and hold the Reset button for more than five seconds.

Hardware Installation

Wall Mounting (Optional)

Grounding (Recommended)

The UniFi Switch is grounded through the Power Adapter. When powering the switch with PoE, ground the device by connecting the ancillary ground.

  1. Loosen the ground screw and secure a ground wire (not included) to the grounding point.

  2. Secure the other end of the ground wire to a grounding block or other grounded structure.

Connecting Power

OR

Connecting Ethernet

WARNING: Before enabling PoE passthrough in the UniFi Network Application, ensure that the connected PoE device supports the PoE power (48V).

WARNING: When both PoE In and DC Input are connected, the highest voltage power of the two will immediately pass through to PoE Out (if enabled).
