Ubiquiti UniFi Switch 2.5G 8-Port

The UniFi Switch 2.5G 8-Port is a compact multi-gigabit switch featuring eight 2.5 GbE PoE++ ports and a 10 GbE uplink port, designed for UniFi deployments requiring PoE power and high throughput in a small form factor.

Key Features
Eight 2.5 GbE PoE++ ports to power and connect multi-gigabit endpoints simultaneously
10 GbE RJ45 and SFP+ uplink offering flexible fiber or copper connectivity to the network core
60 Gbps switching capacity with a total non-blocking throughput of 30 Gbps
Dual power input via AC adapter or PoE+++ for integration without an external power source
Versatile mounting options for desktop, wall, DIN rail, or magnetic installation depending on the environment
NDAA compliance for regulated deployments
Connectivity and Ports
The switch features eight 2.5 GbE RJ45 ports, all PoE++ compatible, supporting 2.5G, 1G, 100M, and 10M speeds. An additional 10 GbE RJ45 port, PoE+++ compatible, provides a 10G, 5G, 2.5G, 1G, or 100M uplink as needed. A 10G SFP+ slot completes the connectivity, operating at 10G or 1G, for direct fiber connection to the network core.

Performance and Layer 2 Switching
With a 60 Gbps switching capacity and a total non-blocking throughput of 30 Gbps, the switch ensures smooth multi-gigabit traffic forwarding. The forwarding rate reaches 45 Mpps, and the MAC address table supports 4,000 entries. The switch manages up to 256 VLANs for logical network segmentation.
Layer 2 switching features include STP and RSTP, storm control, multicast and broadcast rate limiting, flow control, jumbo frames, egress rate limiting, loop protection, port isolation, and port mirroring. These capabilities enable granular traffic control and resilience against loop anomalies.

Power and PoE
The switch can be powered in two ways: via an external AC adapter or through a PoE+++ input. The AC adapter is not included. The supported voltage range is 50 to 57 V DC for PoE input. Maximum power consumption, excluding PoE output, is 14 W with PoE input and 17 W with an AC adapter. Including PoE output, maximum power consumption reaches 210 W with an AC adapter.
Each PoE++ port can deliver up to 64 W, while ports configured for PoE+ and PoE provide 32 W and 15.4 W, respectively. Total PoE availability depends on the power source: 76 W with PoE+++ input, 46 W with PoE++ input, 16 W with PoE+ input, and 196 W with a 210 W AC adapter.

Design and Mounting
The enclosure and mounting bracket are made of polycarbonate, ensuring a compact footprint for integration in tight spaces. The small form factor allows for desktop, wall, DIN rail, or magnetic deployment. The switch weighs 567 g and measures 212.9 x 99.4 x 33.5 mm.

Management and Compatibility
Management is performed via in-band Ethernet through the UniFi Network platform. The switch requires UniFi Network version 9.0.114 or later for adoption and configuration. The unified UniFi interface allows monitoring the switch alongside other network devices.

Environment and Compliance
The switch supports humidity levels of 10 to 90% without condensation. It meets NDAA requirements. The product warranty is 12 months.
