When powering it by just PoE+ you do get PoE passthrough, but just 16W - still enough to power a single AP =)

Great review really glad I’ve found your channel. Wanting to buy this but wondering if I use the 60w power supply can i use the Ethernet port at the back number 8 as a normal port if i use power brick. I already own a UniFi express

[garbi]

Nice review! Any idea if it can be powered in by a DC line without the brick. I've a 48v dc line, the voltage moves from 40-57 volts.

Do you I can power the Ultra with the PoE adapter from the Flex Utility? I have two locations in an install I plan where I want the Utility case, but need all 5 data ports. So I'll use an PoE injector and would have the Utility adapter left over.

Does the new ultra switch come in different models or SKUs, depending on how it is used? If I choose the No AC Adapter option on the store page, meaning the switch will be powered by a PoE input, will I receive a switch that is different than one if I had chosen 210W AC Adapter option?

The PoE power port on the USW-Ultra says Poe IN ++. Does this mean I have to use PoE ++? Can I power this USW-Ultra with a lower PoE such as AT? Would the lowest AF PoE also work to power this switch?

Can you tell me if the lite 16 switch will support the WiFi 6e enterprise Ap 2 of them ?

[bmfairweather]

really wish they had a 16 port 2.5 managed in a small form factor

[esbenontech]

I have an UDM and when connecting the Ultra, the LED turns white, but it doesen't show under Unifi Devices so I can't adopt it. It does show under Topography, though. I've already tried resetting it.

[romang.]

Can this switch be adopted and managed using unify controller?

[mvp_kryptonite]

Neat review! Will check out your channel

[ronald]

Which one do i need to power up 2 x u6 pro ap?

[brunosousa]

I can power on a U6 Enterprise in the PoE output?

[Sistopha]

Unforninately, it does not seem to support MAC port Restrictions

[NatesRandomVideo]

It really should be called a "Flex Ultra".

Got really lucky. Almost bought this, but then realized it's not a standard Ubiquiti switch and only has the abilities of a Flex. No upper level features like LACP, etc...

It's claim to fame is that it's just a Flex with a ton of PoE. As always with Ubiquiti, insane naming system and in the case of the "Ultra" lineup so far, strangely misleading. Really only good for powering a bunch of high wattage cameras, which it would do well at.

Buyer beware.

Looks too small to dissipate 200W with no fan.
