UniFi WAN Switch – 10G SFP+ WAN Switch for UniFi Gateway High Availability
The UniFi WAN Switch is a 10G SFP+ switch designed to link two UniFi Gateways in Shadow Mode High Availability to a single ISP. With one 10G SFP+ uplink port and two 10G SFP+ downlink ports, it ensures continuous connectivity by enabling seamless failover between gateways.
Engineered for resilience, the switch features dual AC inputs for power redundancy, reducing downtime risk in critical deployments. A dedicated Gigabit Ethernet port provides management through the UniFi Network application, offering centralised monitoring and configuration.
For ISP failover deployments, an additional UniFi WAN Switch can be added to extend redundancy and ensure uninterrupted service. Compact, reliable, and built for professional networks, the UniFi WAN Switch is an essential component for enterprise environments where high availability is a priority.
