Ubiquiti UniFi Pro 8 PoE - Compact Layer 3 Switch with 10G SFP+ Uplinks and 120W PoE
The Ubiquiti UniFi Pro 8 PoE (USW-PRO-8-POE) is a compact Layer 3 managed switch with 8 Gigabit Ethernet ports (6x PoE+ and 2x PoE++), two 10G SFP+ uplinks, and a 120W total PoE budget. Layer 3 gives it inter-VLAN routing and static routes on the switch itself, so cross-VLAN traffic stays local instead of hairpinning through the gateway.
The Pro 8 PoE is the desktop-sized version of the UniFi Pro switch line. It delivers the same Layer 3 feature set and 10G SFP+ uplinks as the rack-mount USW-Pro-24-PoE and USW-Pro-48-PoE, but in a form factor that fits on a desk, a shelf, or a wall mount in a small office, retail location, or home network closet.
Where the Pro 8 PoE Fits
- Small offices and retail locations running 4-8 PoE devices (APs, cameras, phones) plus a couple of wired endpoints, where a 24- or 48-port rack switch would waste ports, space, and budget
- Home network closets and AV racks where Layer 3 routing, PoE++ for high-draw devices, and 10G SFP+ uplinks to a NAS or core switch are needed in a compact footprint
- Branch offices and satellite locations in multi-site UniFi deployments that need managed switching with Layer 3 at the edge without dedicating a full rack unit
What the Pro 8 PoE Brings
- 6x PoE+ plus 2x PoE++ (802.3bt): The two PoE++ ports deliver up to 60W each for high-draw devices like PTZ cameras or multi-radio APs. The remaining six ports run PoE+ at 30W max each. 120W total PoE budget.
- 2x 10G SFP+ uplinks: Connect to a core switch, NAS, or aggregation layer at 10 Gbps. An 8-port switch with only 1G uplinks bottlenecks the moment multiple clients hit the same upstream target.
- Layer 3 switching: Inter-VLAN routing and static routes run on the switch hardware. Separate your IoT, camera, and data VLANs and route between them locally without loading the gateway.
- Desktop form factor with wall mount: Compact enough for a shelf or desk (9.8 x 7.9 x 1.7 in., 4.63 lb) with internal PSU. No external power brick, no rack ears required.
- UniFi Network managed: Same dashboard, same VLAN config, same firmware updates as every other UniFi switch in the deployment. Adopt it in the console alongside your APs and gateway.
Build and Mounting
Compact enclosure (9.8 x 7.9 x 1.7 in., 4.63 lb) in a desktop or wall-mount form factor. 8x 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ45 ports: 6x 802.3af/at PoE+ (30W per port max) and 2x 802.3bt PoE++ (60W per port max), 120W total PoE budget. 2x 10G SFP+ uplink ports. Internal PSU (100-240V AC). Layer 3: inter-VLAN routing, static routing. Layer 2: 802.1Q VLANs, IGMP snooping, port mirroring, spanning tree, storm control. Managed through UniFi Network.
