Ubiquiti ES-8-150WUbiquiti EdgeSwitch 8 ES-8-150W 8-Port PoE Gigabit Layer 2 Managed Switch

Ubiquiti EdgeSwitch 8 ES-8-150W — 8-Port PoE Gigabit Managed Switch

The EdgeSwitch 8 ES-8-150W delivers Layer 2+ managed switching across 8 Gigabit Ethernet PoE ports with a 150W total PoE budget, plus dual SFP uplinks for fibre or DAC cable connections. Managed via EdgeMax web GUI or CLI. Backed by a 12-month Reboot IT warranty.

Key Benefits

• 150W Total PoE Budget: Distributes up to 150W across all 8 ports — power IP cameras, access points, and VoIP phones without separate PoE injectors.
• 8x Gigabit PoE Ports: All ports support 802.3af/at PoE with full Gigabit throughput — flexible power allocation on any port.
• Dual SFP Uplinks: Two SFP slots accept 1G fibre transceivers or DAC cables for high-speed uplinks to core switching infrastructure.
• Layer 2+ Feature Set: VLANs (802.1Q), LACP link aggregation, RSTP, IGMP snooping, ACLs, and QoS for enterprise-grade segmentation.
• EdgeMax CLI Access: Full CLI control via SSH or console — familiar syntax for admins already in the Ubiquiti EdgeMax ecosystem.
• Compact 1U Rackmount: Fits standard 19-inch racks; robust metal chassis suited to IDF/MDF and tight server room deployments.

Performance in Use

In a small business or enterprise edge deployment, the ES-8-150W serves as an access layer switch for PoE devices — IP cameras, wireless access points, VoIP handsets, and IP intercoms — while the dual SFP ports carry uplink traffic to a core or distribution switch. The 150W PoE budget comfortably powers 8 devices at an average of 18W each, or a mixed load of access points at 25–30W alongside cameras at 6–12W.

VLANs partition IP cameras onto a dedicated surveillance VLAN away from corporate traffic, while QoS policies prioritise VoIP packets. IGMP snooping prevents multicast camera streams from flooding all ports. RSTP provides fast loop recovery in redundant topologies. Port mirroring enables inline traffic analysis without disrupting production. Management via the EdgeMax web GUI is clean and straightforward — VLAN config, port isolation, and PoE power management are all browser-accessible.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the EdgeSwitch 8 compatible with UniFi Controller?

No. The EdgeSwitch 8 uses EdgeMax firmware managed via the EdgeMax web interface or CLI. It is not managed by UniFi Network Controller — that is a separate Ubiquiti product line.

What is the maximum PoE per port?

Each port supports up to 30W (802.3at PoE+). Total budget is 150W across all 8 ports — if all ports are loaded, average available power is 18.75W per port.

What SFP transceivers are compatible?

Standard 1G SFP modules (1000BASE-SX, 1000BASE-LX) and SFP DAC copper cables are compatible. The SFP ports support 1G only — they do not support 10GbE SFP+.

Does it support stacking?

No. The ES-8-150W is a standalone switch without hardware stacking. Multiple switches can be interconnected via uplink ports.
