Ubiquiti USW-LR-Switch-8-PoE Long-Range PoE Switch

Reach Remote Devices with a Planned Copper Link Bring network data and power to locations beyond a conventional Ethernet run with the Ubiquiti Long-Range Switch 8 PoE. Its eight 10/100 Mb/s PoE+++ access ports work with separately supplied Long-Range Endpoints for distances up to 800 m under the manufacturer’s stated installation conditions. A Gigabit combo uplink connects the switch to the wider network, while an included rackmount accessory supports a compact rack installation. Highlights A Purpose-Built Long-Range System Eight 10/100 Mb/s PoE+++ access ports; dedicated Long-Range Endpoint required for each long-range link. Up to 800 m with a supported endpoint and appropriate cabling; available device power depends on distance. A Gigabit Combo Uplink One logical Gigabit combo uplink with RJ45 or 1G SFP connectivity. 3.6 Gbps switching capacity and 1.8 Gbps non-blocking throughput. Power and Installation Considered Together 630 W total PoE budget, with up to 90 W per access port subject to the overall budget and link conditions. Internal power supply, 1.3-inch touchscreen and included single/dual rackmount accessory. Key Features Build the Link Around the Dedicated Endpoint Long-range operation uses the matching UACC-LR-Endpoint at the remote end. The switch and endpoint form a system; the existing UACC-LRE Ethernet repeater is a different product and is not the dedicated endpoint named for this switch. Plan one matching endpoint for every access port that will use the long-range capability. Choose Reach Without Assuming Gigabit Access The eight powered access ports operate at 10 or 100 Mb/s. The Gigabit combo uplink provides the connection back to the network, but it does not turn a long-range access link into Gigabit Ethernet. Check the traffic requirement of the remote camera, access point or other device before choosing this design. Match Device Power to Cable Distance The switch has a 630 W overall PoE budget, but the power available at a remote device also depends on the length and characteristics of the copper path. Ubiquiti’s distance-power guidance is based on its official Outdoor Cable. The maximum distance, maximum per-port rating and endpoint’s maximum passthrough rating must not be treated as one simultaneous operating point. Connect to the Wider Network in Copper or Fibre Use the RJ45 connection for the Gigabit combo uplink where copper suits the rack layout, or select a compatible 1G SFP module for a fibre connection. The copper and SFP connectors share one logical uplink and are alternatives. Optical modules and fibre cable are separate choices. The uplink arrangement supports a deliberate separation between the long-range device runs and the network path carrying their combined traffic. Apply Practical Layer 2 Controls STP/RSTP, port isolation, rate limits, storm control and multicast/broadcast limits help manage the connected network. Port mirroring assists troubleshooting, while LLDP-MED and voice VLAN support are also listed by the manufacturer. Size the design around the published 256 VLAN and 8,192-entry MAC-table capacities. Use the Rackmount Already in the Box The compact steel chassis supports desktop or rack installation. The supplied rackmount accessory supports single- and dual-switch mounting arrangements, so a second mount does not need to be added by default. Keep the switch within its −5 to 45°C operating range and follow the installation guide for ventilation, mains power and cable routing. Summary The Long-Range Switch 8 PoE is a specialised choice for remote powered devices whose bandwidth and power requirements fit its operating limits. Its value comes from combining dedicated long-range access, Gigabit uplinks and managed switching in a compact unit. Plan the endpoint, cable, route and device load together before committing to the full distance. Frequently Asked Questions Is the Long-Range Connection Gigabit Ethernet?ExpandCollapse The eight powered access ports operate at 10/100 Mb/s. A single Gigabit combo uplink provides RJ45 or 1G SFP connectivity. Check that each remote device and its traffic requirement suit a 100 Mb/s access link. What Is Required for a Link up to 800 m?ExpandCollapse Use the dedicated UACC-LR-Endpoint at the far end and follow the manufacturer’s cable and installation guidance. The published power-distance guidance uses UniFi Outdoor Cable. Actual usable distance depends on the remote device’s power requirement and the complete cable path. Can Every Port Deliver 90 W at 800 m?ExpandCollapse No. Up to 90 W is the switch’s per-port PSE rating, subject to the 630 W total budget. Power available through the remote endpoint falls with cable distance. Select the device and route using the manufacturer’s distance-power guidance rather than combining separate maximum ratings. Is the Endpoint or Rackmount Included?ExpandCollapse The rackmount accessory is included and supports single- and dual-switch arrangements. Long-Range Endpoints are separate. Select one endpoint for each link that needs the long-range function; cameras, access points, cables and optical modules are also separate. Can I Use the Existing UACC-LRE Repeater Instead?ExpandCollapse UACC-LRE is a different Gigabit Ethernet repeater. The manufacturer specifies UACC-LR-Endpoint for this switch’s long-range system. Do not substitute a similarly named accessory without explicit manufacturer compatibility confirmation. 더 보기
