About the UniFi Switch Ultra 8-Port
The UniFi Switch Ultra 8-Port (USW-ULTRA) by Ubiquiti delivers 16 Gbps switching capacity and a 11.9 Mpps forwarding rate, providing line-rate performance for small-to-medium network deployments. This compact Layer 2 switch combines eight Gigabit Ethernet ports (10/100/1000 Mbps) with passive PoE+ power input on the uplink port, eliminating the need for external power supplies in most installations. Network engineers will appreciate its fanless design, which consumes just 6W maximum power while maintaining passive cooling reliability across standard operating temperatures of 0 to 40 °C.
Built by Ubiquiti with enterprise-grade management through the UniFi Network Application, the USW-ULTRA supports 802.1Q VLAN segmentation for logical network isolation. Its ultracompact desktop form factor—measuring just 101.6 × 101.6 × 27.2 mm and weighing 186 g—fits seamlessly into space-constrained environments without sacrificing throughput. IT procurement teams selecting Ubiquiti switching infrastructure will find the USW-ULTRA (part number USW-ULTRA) an ideal choice for distributed access points, small office branches, and edge locations requiring managed Layer 2 switching with minimal operational overhead.
Typical Deployment Scenarios
- Small office or branch network aggregation with UniFi access points
- PoE+ power delivery to distributed wireless infrastructure
- VLAN-segmented networks for guest and corporate traffic separation
- Fanless operation in temperature-controlled server closets and network cabinets
- Compact edge switching for retail, hospitality, and multi-tenant environments
