Pros and cons

According to our network switch expert

Thanks to PoE, your connected devices get power through the network cable.
You can connect 7 devices to the internet with a cable thanks to the Ethernet ports.
Because a switch with 1 Gigabit Ethernet operates at lower speeds, it uses less energy than routers with higher Mbps.
You can only connect devices with low power consumption to a PoE switch.
The switch isn’t powerful enough for you to watch movies or make video calls on multiple devices without any problems.

Description

With the Ubiquiti UniFi Switch US-8, you can provide your devices with both power and internet through a single cable. This switch supports PoE, so you can connect landline phones without a separate power cable. You can connect up to 7 devices with a wired connection using the 8 Ethernet ports. You’ll use one port to connect the switch to your modem or router. This way, your devices get a more stable internet connection than with WiFi. With an Ethernet speed of 1,000 Mbps, you can send messages and watch videos on social media. IGMP snooping makes sure the switch only sends data streams to the right ports. This keeps your network fast, even when you connect IP cameras or a television.

Great switch with or without USG

POE
15.4 W per POE port
Small
hot

[In use with] I bought this switch to power my UniFi AP-AC-LR. It is also connected to a Unifi USG to complete the picture. I run the controller on an HPE Microserver Gen10

[Unboxing] The Unifi US-8-60W comes in a cardboard box, just like the other Unifi products. Ubiquiti does not use plastic for the packaging, which is very environmentally friendly. The box contains the following items

Uni-Fi Switch
Power Adapter
Power Cord
Quick Start
Plugs
Screws

The last two items are for hanging the switch if you need it.

[Installation] The UniFi Switch is set to DHCP by default, which means that you can plug it into your network and it will request an IP address from the DHCP server. Booting/rebooting the switch isn't very fast, but it doesn't take long either. After the switch has had an IP from the DHCP server, it will be found in the Unifi Controller software.

[Configuration / In use]

The unifi switch can be fully configured via the Ubqiuiti controller software. The 4 POE ports can deliver a maximum of 15.4W per port. My AP-AC-Lite consumes 3.30W via the POE port so 15.4W is more than enough. By default, the ports are set to All, which means that they completely route all network traffic. If you have a USG you can create different VLANs and hard link them to a port. The device that will be connected to this port will then get an IP in the range of the VLAN DHCP.

[Conclusion] The UniFi Switch 8-60W is a great switch that can also be used without a USG. However, if you want to make optimal use of the Unifi eco system, you also need a USG.

Very nice toy for this price and reliable.

manageable
Power over Ethernet
Relatively small
Gets pretty hot

I once started with 1 AP of ubiquity unifi. Once you get along well with the ubiquity unifi control center, things go fast. All my old stuff; other switches/access points/cameras soon went towards "trash bin". I now have everything from ubiquity unifi. You just have to really dive into the basics of networking to make it all come to its fullest.
