Ubiquiti Pro XG 8 PoE 8-Port 10G 2x SFP+ PoE++ Managed Switch

Every one of the eight RJ-45 ports supports 10G Ethernet and also negotiates down to 1000 and 100 Mbps. This lets you connect fast workstations, NAS units and multi-gig access points alongside older equipment on the same switch. Because the ports use standard copper cabling, you can raise network speeds without switching to fibre for every device in the room.

All eight ports deliver 4PPoE (PoE++). This means a single cable can carry both data and power to Wi-Fi access points, IP cameras and other powered devices. The total PoE budget is 155 W, shared across the connected devices. Powering equipment directly from the switch cuts down on separate adapters and wall sockets. It also simplifies installation in ceilings and other hard-to-reach places.

Two SFP+ module slots give you flexible uplink options. You can use them to link the switch to a core switch, a router or another floor of the building over fibre, or with suitable modules. Keeping the uplinks on SFP+ leaves all eight copper ports free for end devices, which helps you make full use of the switch's 10G capacity.

As a managed switch with Layer 2 and Layer 3 capabilities, the Pro XG 8 PoE gives administrators control over how traffic moves through the network. Instead of a plug-and-play unmanaged box, you get a device you can configure to match your network design. This is an important consideration for offices and growing home labs where segmentation and oversight matter.

With eight copper ports and two SFP+ slots, the switch keeps a compact port count that suits small offices, studios and network cabinets. According to the specifications, it is not listed as a rack-mount model. Plan to place it on a shelf, a desk or another suitable surface, or check mounting options with the manufacturer.

This switch is aimed at small businesses, creative studios, prosumers and home lab enthusiasts who want 10G speeds and PoE++ in one device. It works well where several high-bandwidth access points, cameras or workstations need to share fast connections. It also fits setups that need a fibre uplink to the rest of the network and management features beyond a basic unmanaged switch.
