UniFi WAN Switch RJ45 – 10G WAN Switch for UniFi Gateway High Availability
The UniFi WAN Switch RJ45 is a compact 10 GbE WAN switch designed to connect two UniFi Gateways in Shadow Mode High Availability to a single ISP. With one 10 GbE uplink port and two 10 GbE downlink ports, it ensures uninterrupted network connectivity by enabling seamless gateway failover.
Built for resilience, the WAN Switch RJ45 includes dual AC inputs for power redundancy, helping to maintain continuous operation even during power interruptions. It also features a dedicated Gigabit Ethernet port for management via the UniFi Network application, ensuring centralised visibility and configuration.
For deployments requiring ISP failover, an additional USW-WAN-RJ45 switch can be added to extend redundancy and enhance service continuity. Compact and reliable, the UniFi WAN Switch RJ45 is an essential component for critical UniFi gateway deployments that demand high availability and consistent connectivity.
