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. |

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.
- Loosen the ground screw and secure a ground wire (not included) to the grounding point.
- Secure the other end of the ground wire to a grounding block or other grounded structure.

|
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). |
