Ubiquiti EdgeSwitch 8, 8-Port Managed PoE+ Gigabit Switch with SFP, 150W (ES-8-150W),White

Solid managed switch for a home lab. Currently using it for a home VM lab with a number of standalone PCs. Works well with a lot of different SFP adapters too!

Really like this piece of equipment. For me it was very easy to setup. I like the user interface.

This is a rock solid product. We use it to transport Video.

Great dependable poe switches. I have quite a few of these in the field and Ive had no issues yet.

Great switch, does all that i want, just take backups regularly as this is a real switch that allows you to do what you want but thats always the right thing !

perfect

Purchased the Edgeswitch-8-150w in May 2017 and I have been using the full array of 8 Ethernet Ports (4x PoE+, 2x 24v and 2 Non-Powered Devices) and 2 SFP Ports for quite some time now and it hasnt failed me. I also appreciate the fact you can change From PoE+ to 24v From the GUI for Passive PoE Devices. And there was a firmware update that simplified and streamlined the configuration options for the switch. Update: Purchased in May 2017 No Longer Boots in 30/5/2021 and no way to repair it. Failed after 4 years unfortunately.

It’s hard to find real switches under 16 ports as this tends to drop into more “Consumer” grade products This ES8 is serving as a small trunk to an ES24. It powers two small x86 machines using 802.113AT without issue. It also provides passive PoE reliability. Throughput to devices on the uplinked switch is as if it was native. Not a single feature nor any performance compromises in the ES8. If you need an 8 port switch and 802.113xx this is what you want to pick up. It also supports link aggregation so that’s an option if you really need it I haven’t made use of the SFP module but I expect it works just as well as the rest of the device. Highly recommend, especially if you need PoE/PoE+ Note that because the ES8 can push 150W, it can not be powered over Ethernet itself. If you want a smaller switch that can be powered by PoE, look at the Edge-X or the Edge-X Advanced. They support PoE input AND can do passive 2-wire PoE output.

DOA. Unit did not power up. You can hear parts shifting inside the unit when you take it out of the box. MY OWN FAULT FOR NOT CHECKING IT SOONER. The return window closed, so I need to send it to the manufacture for the RMA process. Will update review as the process happens. 1. Discovered issue. 2. Requested RMA online. (Approved right then.) 3. Will be taken to UPS and paying to ship it to Utah. 4. RMA Processing time says 1 to 2 weeks. Update: RMA took about 10 days. New unit works without issue. So I guess this was a case of shipping damage???

I’ve been working from home since 2018 and never got around to segmenting my home network. Finally got this switch to put all the devices in my office on separate VLANs to keep my work, IoT, and home devices away from each other.
