Ubiquiti USW-Mission-Critical is a managed switch designed to operate under the UniFi system. It features 9 Gigabit Ethernet ports (10/100/1000 Mbps), with IEEE 802.3af/at PoE output on ports 1-4 and IEEE 802.3bt PoE output on ports 5-8. The first set of ports is intended for connecting access points, while the second set is for connecting UniFi Access devices. The total output power budget is 120W. The maximum switching throughput is 9 Gbps, with a packet forwarding rate of 26.78 Mpps. The USW-Mission-Critical is well-suited for home networks utilizing UniFi access points and UniFi Access solutions.

The offered product stands out from the competition primarily due to its power capabilities. It is equipped with a built-in AC power supply and additionally features a 368 Wh lithium-ion battery. In the event of a power failure, the device automatically switches to battery power. Furthermore, you can connect external batteries (48V DC) to the USW-Mission-Critical if the built-in one is insufficient.

UniFi network

The offered product operates under the UniFi software, which enables centralized management of multiple devices from a single application. Primarily designed for building hotspot networks consisting of access points, UniFi also supports monitoring systems under the "Protect" series. With UniFi, you can establish an extensive network and control it from one system. This facilitates swift changes in configuration, hotspot settings, or firmware updates. The UniFi application is entirely free and available for download on computers or as a mobile application.

9 gigabit Ethernet ports, 8 PoE outputs

The switch features 9 Gigabit Ethernet ports (10/100/1000 Mbps) with a total switching capacity of 18 Gbps and a packet forwarding speed of 26.78 Mpps. Additionally, it is equipped with a 1.3-inch diagonal touch screen on the front panel, providing information about its operational status.

Ports 1-4 are equipped with IEEE 802.3af/at standard PoE output, while ports 5-8 feature IEEE 802.3bt standard PoE output. The maximum power output budget is 120W. The first section is designed for connecting access points, while the second section is designated for use with UniFi Access.

Built-in power supply and battery, 2 AC outputs

The USW-Mission-Critical comes with a built-in AC power supply, with a maximum power consumption of 240W. Moreover, it houses a 368 Wh lithium-ion battery inside the casing, ensuring backup power in case of a main power failure. In such instances, the switch seamlessly transitions to battery operation. Additionally, you can utilize the DC connector to attach external batteries, with the appropriate cable included in the package.

The switch is equipped with 2 AC output sockets, allowing you to connect devices such as a router. The total AC output power budget is 80W.

Application

The device is primarily intended for use in relatively small networks employing the UniFi and UniFi Access systems. It enables power delivery via PoE to 8 devices and additionally powers the router/modem. With its buffer operation feature, it ensures network operation independent of power outages.

Absolutely, the capability to independently power all the devices in the home network simplifies installation and reduces the number of cables utilized, contributing to an easier and more organized network configuration.
