About Ubiquiti Networks Switch 8 60W US-8-60W
Overall Feedback:
70% positive
72% liked its broad compatibility, while 28% experienced compatibility issues
This switch works fine for most UniFi devices but is not compatible with UVC-G3 camera. However, it is compatible with UVC-G3-Dome camera. It's confusing why Ubiquity is selling products that are not compatible with each other.
Only the 150W variant of the switch can power the routers.
71% praised for its redundant fan design, while 29% experienced fan failure issues
Even when I had to rebuild twice due to my errors, the downtime was limited.
I am disappointed with the product as it runs hot and there is no internal fan. Electronic devices do not like high temperatures and it can shorten their lifespan. I am surprised that Ubiquiti did not design a better product.
78% praised for its easy management features, while 22% found it complicated to set up
The controller software incorporates all of the other Unifi equipment for a complete management system.
The switch has solid performance, is totally manageable and has statistics via amazing UniFi software which is free.
The switch is appealing for its ease of management and control, even without any other Ubiquiti equipment.
To use all the features of the switch, I need to be totally invested in the UniFi ecosystem.

76% liked the flexible mounting options, but 24% found it difficult to install
Configuring the switch options is a bit confusing, but the access point controller software works great for us.
I dislike the mounting options of this switch, particularly the power connection in the back and network jacks in the front, which is not ideal for an 8-port switch that is most likely to be placed on a desk.
73% praised for its fast network speeds, while 27% experienced slow connectivity
The switch delivers gigabit speeds and 60W of 802.3af power, making it an excellent switch.
I struggled for a year to find equipment and a router that could provide gigabit speed to my end points after my cable company offered it.
78% liked the quiet operation, but 22% found it too loud
When my screen is asleep, files automatically open and run and the WiFi turns on.
74% liked the ample port count
The switch has 8 ports, with 4 of them being PoE ports.
The switch has 8 ports, including 4 POE ports that can power select Unifi items.
By replacing the old switch with this one, I gained 20MBPS more speed (almost 50%).
73% appreciated the durable construction, while 27% noticed flimsy parts
I am satisfied with the quality of construction of the device. It is fantastic and beautiful. All devices have been stable since installation and have not caused any trouble.
The power brick is a bit larger than I would prefer, but other than that, the switch does exactly what it is supposed to do.
The switch delivers gigabit speeds and 60W of 802.3af power and is excellent.
I am surprised and concerned about the high temperature of the unit. It is a result of poor design and can lead to a shorter lifespan of the device.
78% appreciated the robust security features, while 22% found them inadequate
UniFi line is a no-brainer for consumer homes and good enough for small enterprise organizations with excellent functionality, security, and feature set.
