UniFi WAN Switch
USW-WAN€225 excl. VAT
UniFi WAN Switch is a compact switch for 19-inch racks with SFP+ ports and dual power inputs, built for the WAN side of a network with two gateways.
Who it suits
Suits businesses that do not want the internet to go down when a gateway fails, and so run two UniFi gateways as backups for each other (Shadow Mode), for example in an equipment room or network cabinet. The switch sits between the ISP's equipment and the gateways and does not replace any ordinary switch: other switches and access points connect to the gateways as usual. Besides the switch you need gateways that support Shadow Mode, and the connections are made with SFP+ modules or DAC cables.
At a glance
- Number of ports
- 4
- Mounting
- Rack (1U)
- Redundant power
- Two built-in power inputs
Good to know
- Shares a single internet connection between two gateways in Shadow Mode high availability: one port goes to the ISP and two to the gateways.
- Simplifies Shadow Mode when the ISP provides only a single uplink. With more than one ISP, an additional WAN switch is used.
- Managed in UniFi Network. The separate gigabit port (MGMT) on the back is for management.
