UniFi Switches

Managed PoE Switching with Zero Licensing Fees

UniFi switches from Ubiquiti deliver managed PoE switching with VLANs, QoS, and centralized firmware updates through the UniFi Controller, all without per-device licensing fees. The lineup spans Standard, Pro, Pro Max, and Enterprise tiers in 8 to 48-port configurations with SFP+ and SFP28 uplinks. Browse all switching options across brands in the full networking category.

UniFi Switches for Every Environment

• Small and mid-size businesses — Standard and Lite 8-port and 16-port models deliver full managed switching with VLANs, QoS, and PoE at a lower total cost of ownership than traditional enterprise vendors like Cisco Catalyst and HPE Aruba
• Multi-site MSP deployments — UniFi Cloud lets managed service providers monitor and configure switches across dozens of client sites from a single dashboard without VPN tunnels or site visits
• Retail and hospitality locations — PoE models power access points, security cameras, and VoIP phones at each store or hotel with centralized visibility across all locations from one controller
• Campus and distribution layers — Pro Max 48-port switches with 2.5GbE access ports and 10G SFP+ uplinks serve as aggregation-layer infrastructure for large office buildings and educational campuses
• High-density enterprise networks — Enterprise-tier switches add Layer 3 routing with OSPF and 25G SFP28 uplinks for backbone connectivity between network closets in multi-building campuses

Choosing the Right UniFi Switch

UniFi organizes its switch lineup into four tiers, and selecting the right one depends on your port count, PoE budget, uplink speed, and routing requirements. Standard and Lite models handle most SMB deployments with gigabit access ports and PoE budgets from 52W to 150W. Pro models step up to higher PoE budgets, 10G SFP+ uplinks, and more granular port configuration. Pro Max models add 2.5GbE access ports for high-bandwidth environments. Enterprise models add Layer 3 routing with OSPF and 25G SFP28 uplinks for campus-scale networks.

PoE Budget Planning

Every PoE-powered device on the network, access points, IP cameras, VoIP phones, and door controllers, draws power from the switch's PoE budget. Standard 8-port models provide around 52W, enough for four to five access points. The 24-port Pro and Pro Max models deliver 400W or more, supporting a full floor of PoE devices. All UniFi switches support per-port PoE scheduling, so you can automatically power down access points or cameras outside business hours to save energy and extend device lifespan.

Management and Zero Licensing

All UniFi switches are managed through the UniFi Network application, which runs self-hosted on a UniFi Cloud Gateway, Cloud Key, or dedicated server, or through UniFi Cloud for remote management. There are no per-switch license fees and no recurring management subscriptions. The controller provides a single dashboard for switch ports, access points, gateways, and cameras across multiple sites.
