How to Choose which Unifi Switch is BEST for you! 

Phorm phactor. There, fixed it for you.

This is the video I needed to see a few months ago. Thanks for laying out all this great info very clearly.

Thanks, going to expand my network next week and the power budget section was really handy info!

Enjoy your content! Keep it up

Appreciate it teach! New to Ubiquiti!!

Great vid as usual. Consider 2 switches to have redundancy preferably with SFP ports to connect via DAC interconnect. Those recessed cans have their place but it’s easy to over stuff them plus the accessories to make use of them can be daunting.

Thank you so much for yet another great video! This one came right on time because I am new to Ubiquity. I just purchased the UDM SE, 3 U6 Pro AP’s my next purchase is the switch. I need your advice please, my home is 3000sq. 2 story given what I have already what switch would you recommend that I get because I’m also into the smart home ecosystem using HomeKit and Home Assistant. Can you also do a video on Patch Panels, Cabling. Thank you for all your time and efforts in bringing quality tutorials cheers!

Thanks!

I got the Aggregation Switch with 8 SFP+ connecting a Pro Max 24 port switch (POE and mix of speeds; and lights) and a UDM SE. 3 AP (U6-LR, U6-IW and U6-Mesh via cable). Slight overkill at this point in time but want to learn that stuff before we possible move into a new house. Like reach of APs and POE needs for cable planning. I have a 10Gbe WAN connection (though mainly get 50% of it)

I'm looking at the Ubiquiti USW-Pro-Max-24 , but waiting to until they are in stock , I was looking for a 16 -24 port with a 10gb backbone and having 2.5gbt is nice too. Don't need POE on the big switch because they are going to be on sperate switch , one downstairs for the AP and a camera , one in the loft for outside cameras , and in the garage a camera and AP.

Thanks for putting this out! I just bit the bullet and ordered the DM SE, Pro Max 24. I was on the fence in regards to AP's, I decided to not go nuts at this point and stuck with U6 Pro, and U6 In-Wall rather the 7Pro as everything I have is 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz.The AP's are relatively inexpensive and easy to swap at a later time. I'm currently waiting on the Pro 8 PoE, (out of stock in Canada) this will be located in the garage to connect 6 PoE cameras (non-Ubiquiti cameras). I currently have an EdgeMax EdgeSwitch 8 150W in my garage that's powering my cameras ( this switch is bullet proof!) is there a way this switch can be incorporated into unifi network along with VLAN's? This switch will be replaced with the Pro 8 PoE if they ever get them in stock. Thanks again for all your videos!

It’s always good to get extra ports too. Get a switch with more POE ports than you need and additional non-POE ports than you need because ports fail. Those available ports are backup for when ports fail. You’ll regret buying just the minimum if ports start failing.

Hey Tim. Can you please do a video on recommended ubiquity settings for Sonos

One thing for me is that I wanted to do the UDM SE but I will have 3 AP and 3 cameras at each AP(it works out that way) so I wanted to have a switch at each location but feel like it's hard to find a middleground hardware to support a POE+ and POE and switch at each location without doing something like Enterprise 8 POE - but feel like if i'm doing an Enterprise 8 POE I almost don't need the UDM SE, but then there's not anything that has just the remaining functionality that UDM SE has - extra switching/poe

What I would really like is in five minutes a homeowner list of what to buy. Start from scratch. Buy this. Then buy these cameras. Then tell me how to link to Apple Home.

How about using "placement" instead of "form factor" to have that fourth P?

31 options? I only count 30. The Flex Utility is just the outdoor enclosure.

Presentation (form factor)

Profile instead of form factor?
