Ubiquiti UniFi XG 6 Port PoE Switch (Gen1)
The US-XG-6POE switch, managed by the Cloud-Based UniFi Controller from Ubiquiti, is their first model to offer PoE++ (802.3bt) output. It has 4x 10G Ethernet Ports that can supply auto-sensing 802.3bt PoE and 2x SFP+ ports for optical connectivity. With rubber feet and a quiet fan system, this switch can be placed on a table or shelf, but it also includes mounting brackets for installation in a standard 1U rack. It is powered by the included power cable and can also use a DC input, providing the flexibility to connect a stand-alone or redundant power source with a minimum requirement of 40w and 44-57VDC.
