They need to up the throughput on the ISP port to 10 gbps. It really should be the standard by now, I'm also disappointed this is not their standard for the UDM pro/se.
UDM Pro and UDM SE have 10 GB SFP ports, while it is not 10 GbE for $80 you can get a 10G SFP to Ethernet -- though unfortunately where I am, without paying $900+/month I cannot get a business connection that exceeds 1G... though I can get 8G residential for $150/mo -,-
HA is pretty important. It should be on both the WAN ports and on the main power. One of my customers has tripple WAN and dual dedicated power circuits as well as dual UPSes. Their entire business depends on WAN as they have offside servers running web apps for every department in the company. They really don't want 70 people standing around unable to work if anything goes down.
Cody, you should do an update video on this PDU, letting us know status of HA functionality. Plus, now that new UDM Pro MAX has HA properly working, where does this PDU stand?
Thank you for the review. Question about the PDU Pro. Can those rack ears be mounted on the back sides of the PDU, so it can be located at the back of the rack _inside_ the frame of the rack, so it doesn't extend out the back, or is there only one mounting point for the ears, forcing it to stick out the back of the rack?
I wonder why they put all the power ports on the front and not the back. everything should be on the back except the network interfaces and screen. they can keep the ISP passthrough on the back to keep it cleaner. I also wonder why they have the VRR feature but only have one ISP uplink it should also be an SFP, kind of fixes one problem but not another, if redundancy and high availability then they need to think about FULL redundancy. UDM's also need to have a way to be active/active. typical misses by Ubiquiti especially the way they market this.
2:00 I've been using this since the beginning of the year. I found the modem reboot feature annoying. It rebooted 2 or 3 times a day needlessly disconnecting me from my work VPN and whatnot. I disabled it and never had any ISP issues.
Problematic is having powersupply & management controlled by the same vendor - if there is a glitch you totally loose control. Well done video, thanks!
@@MactelecomNetworks The three GbE RJ45 ports should be 2.5GbE RJ45 that is another change I think Ubiquiti should have included. In their installation guide they use UDM SE which have 2.5GbE RJ45 WAN ports.
@@grantwilcox330 I think in the documentation it says they are all 1Gbe but we can’t view the interfaces yet in the gui. Would be interesting if they were 2.5 but will have to wait and see
@@MactelecomNetworks Their all 1Gbe per the documents. I'm just saying that would of been nice to have in the for the Virtual Redundant LAN was that the ports be 2.5Gbe instead of 1.
Another informative video, thanks much! I currently use the SmartPower Plug to cycle my modem power when needed. I also have above 1Gbps internet so I'm using one of the SFP+ ports on my UDM Pro to connect to a 2.5Gbps ethernet port on my modem. If I didn't want to pass all of my internet traffic through the PDU Pro (down to 1Gbps), can it just be managed through the 100 Mbps port connected to my switch and leave my modem connected to the UDM Pro? Thanks again!
Unifi needs a proper qos system on the udm pro, it's very basic at the moment and there's no way to priorities file transfer over everything else as I require
Same here, plus I'd like to know for how long the connection needs to be down before it reboots. If it's a two second refusal to respond to ping vs a 2 minute total loss?
Quick question- can I plug this directly to my computer and not connect it to the internet? And then use the software(on the computer) to disable/enable ports?
I don't like the plugs on the front. The plugs should be on the back of the unit with the screen on the front, as most with racks owners will want to keep the front looking clean with the cabling. Just saying.
I don't find dual power cords really necessary, as if I'm springing for this, I'll likely have a UPS bypass switch in the rack as well. There is a level where you'd want to be able to do maintenance on the bypass switch itself, but if uptime is that critical, you likely have entire redundant racks.
Weird that they are using non standard plugs and sticking with US home style plug not international so they have to make different hardware which is weird.
@@MactelecomNetworks I agree but so far out of my growing ubiquiti collection it feels as if most of thr gear works perfect in the USA and UK except power and the unifi talk.
Exactly my thoughts. A company working in the IT market should know C13 / C14 is the way to go. Would have also saved a lot of money for developing additional models with other national plug systems 👎
Good video and really great for SOHO environment. Anything more than a cabinet and ...ehhhh. i need those HA features at the very least to justify wide deployments. That said, that price point is extremly attractive so if you got a home lab/network or working at a SOHO type place than this is a great addition.
How do you manually power cycle outlet(s) IF modem is down? Also, the "internet" activities indicator on PDU not showing any activities even after adoption?
Sp many Unifi power options as of late. This could be handy but would need to be couples with some sort of battery back up. I am trying to decide my best power options. My setup is a UDMP -> 24port Enterprise -> Unifi 6 LR & Unifi Nano HD (soon to swap to a unifi 6 Enterprise). I also have my ISPs ONT I need to keep powered on. Power company is talking about starting rolling outages. Work says I need to burn PTO if that happens or find a solution. Work PC is a laptop so its already battery powered. I just need to figure out how to keep the network running for (8 hours?) during outages. Thoughts? (Johnny Danger, @jdngr here btw)
Doesn't look the power input in the rear (1:34) is a cable you can swap out for 240V. If the unit can deliver 15A at 120V, then a 240V circuit feeding it would only draw 7.5A. Anyone in the US using this on a 240V circuit?
When this becomes available in the EU, I might buy one of these for the office and hook it up to my UPS. The UniFi devices are connected to the UPS right now, so they will go through the PDU instead. I also have the redundant power supply hooked up to each of the UniFi devices. But this is not powered by the UPS. The idea is that if the UPS goes down, I'll have direct backup power into the devices. For this reason, I won't need the RPS connector on the PDU because that would not give me the two independent power lines into the devices. To me, this is the proper way to use the RPS, so for now I have to disagree with you that this needs the RPS port. It's very rare that I disagree with something you say :) But I could just be fixed into my way of thinking and not consider other setups. I really hope that the EU version will have standard C13/C14 plugs instead of household plugs. Sure, keep the four separate ones, but change the rest of them. Our plugs are also slightly bulkier, so maybe they're going to be forced to do this.
@@MactelecomNetworks Thanks nice review looking forward for HA feature. Also UNVR pro stacking is out from EA release as GA can you make a proper video on it?
WTF having a 100Mbit port for ISP? So if you have a faster Internet connection than 100Mbit you cant use that function? Most companys have more than 100Mbit and many homeusers aswell. That was pretty stupid decision.
@@GpconnectInfohotspot for a managed/switched PDU with that much power delivery and that many ports, it's about 1/2 to 1/3 the price of average with those specs..
