In my house, I have the PoE passthru version of the 8-port Unifi switch with no PoE load on it. The case is metal and the heat seems appropriate. It's a fanless managed PoE switch with a load on it. The switch is definitely warm but again I would not be alarmed by it. My controller has a field for reporting temperature, but it says "No Sensor." I am not sure if there is a version of this switch with a sensor. In an office down the hall, we have an 8 port 60W switch like you have. I have an older one at my house and it doesn't feel very warm to me. This could be due changing what the case is made out of. It's my opinion that the newest ones feel noticeably lighter than the older ones and operate slightly cooler. I've had many different hardware revisions of 3-port USG over the years. This is the only site I have IDS/IPS enabled on. The front panel is ever so slightly warm to the touch, but I modified the USG-Pro with quieter fans. The USG-Pro is reporting CPU temp of 88✬ and board temp of 56✬. None of the APs I have on my controller report temperature. I also have an AP-AC-Pro deployed at one site, but it's up on a loft I can't reach. AP-AC-LR and original AP (green light, no 5GHz) run cool. I notice that the NanoHD and AC Mesh APs run warm to the touch. One site is commercial with a USG Pro, and the other four are residential with 3-port USG. I can only offer my experience as someone who runs five different Unifi sites from a cloud controller. Is my concern justified or am I overreacting and should I best let things be as they are? I specifically chose a passively cooled switch because I don’t want any constant buzzing fan noise coming from my closet, but on the other hand this is the hottest I’ve ever known any passively cooled device to run. Is it normal for POE switches to run very hot? But on the other hand, there’s something to be said for staying within the same ecosystem. I’m now in dubio whether I should only keep the Access Points and Cloud Key, return the router and switch and change them for something else (regular router with Tomato/dd-wrt or maybe even a PFSense box, and a POE switch from a different brand). When I looked this up on the internet, temperatures more than 70☌ (+/- 160 ☏) are considered “within normal parameters” by Ubiquiti.īut somehow this doesn’t feel comfortable to me. I was surprised however at how hot the USG router, POE switch and Cloud Key ran. Yesterday I set the whole thing up and even though it didn’t go as fast as a regular router (since Ubiquiti uses its own controller) the whole setup process was relatively painless. Finally great WiFi coverage throughout the entire house, yay!
#Ubiquiti poe lighting plus
So I bought a complete Ubiquiti Unifi setup, with a USG router, a POE 8-port 60W switch, a Cloud Key Gen2 Plus (which was cheaper than the non-plus version, oddly enough) and 3 NanoHD wireless AP’s. Since my old trusty Netgear R7000 was starting to give up the ghost I decided to invest in something more stable.
I know some of you have some experience installing Ubiquiti’s Unifi products.
