Ubiquiti Unifi Etherlighting Switch in 12,000 sqft Mansion set up

Unifi’s new Etherlighting Pro Max POE switch. Showing my new rack setup in my new 12,000 sqft mansion.

Love it, I have a very similar setup. Ended up running a bunch of new cable and ripping out old coax. I did MoCA 2.5 for a bit which worked well, but felt good to get rid of the old coax and run fresh cat6

upgraded my entire rack. the USW Pro Aggregation works well with Savant Home System and entire home is Lutron. 15k square feet here. get the u6 mesh for outdoor with flex switches and you're good to go

Nice video and great setup. Merry Christmas!

Nice setup if you ever needed more network drops as a last resort you could use those coax drops as moca.

Causally saying 12000 sqft is slightly above average. Mansions are 5k. So it’s a huge house bud. Great start to the setup though.

Great System 👍
Just wondering if USW Enterprise 24 Poe would be a better choice or not vs USW Pro Max 24 PoE? Thanks

[militaryavr]

I bought a few of the USW Pro Max switches for my house too. They haven’t arrived just yet though. Unfortunately due to some limitations in my houses network wiring, one will be in a walk-in closet. What do you think of the noise levels from cooling? Are they loud??

Sure looks like there is just enough space to mount that rack to the wall where those old school looking patch panels are.

[Polkster]

I would add two more patch panels, one above and one below the UDM SE. Also need to replace that UPS with a rack mount UPS, and get a pure sine wave UPS. You might also want to consider getting the UniFi CLI DocSys 3.1 Modem and get with of that modem from Spectrum. My CLI is awesome.

Nice, are you going to get the new Unifi Cable Internet modem? it will look great with the rest of equipment rack mounted.

[RandomNJ]

Yet you used an audio rack. No provision for passing a second internet connection though the patch. For the size of the house that's not a lot of connections. You are also leaving 8 Poe ports on the table.

Why pay to run all of that coax in this day and age?

[saifkhan]

Hi I Really liked the video can you make another one showing the back of the rack setup?

[marMurillo]

My house is 20, 000 sq ft. Can it handle that?

[rezenclowd]

I would love to use Ubiquiti but with actual layer 3 support. As it stands, these should be treated as dumb switches.

[WilliamCamp-nx]

Just being honest, any new build post 23’, you should definitely install pure fiber for future proofing… the only switch that would be good for new builds, imo, is the xg24 or 48 pro aggregation switch

[duckbilldaniel]

depending on your network load, it might be good to setup a docker host with some caching on it. Steam, windows, and mac update caching can really help out. Even a network with 200 down can feel really good with multiple users if updates and games are cached locally.

Merry Christmas weekend! Neat video thank you for educating me more on this stuff!

I paid ~20k to run a private 100G fiber line to my home and similar for other utilities (running 8gig up/down GFiber), roughly 9300sqft. A little shocked on a 12.5k build you'd settle for that connectivity. Also strange all you needed was the 24P. With all the POE cameras, 2 CAT6 runs to each room and wall mounted POE tablet controllers, I needed a Pro Max 24 POE and a Pro Max 48; UDM SE full on the crappy 8 port switch as well. I ran every line ethernet in my home myself during the build, was dumb enough to waste my time running coax but have no reason to terminate. Not sure I'll ever have a use.
