Ubiquiti UniFi USW-Pro-XG-10-PoE 10 GbE PoE+++ switch review: The $699 1U rackmount upgrade adds two more 10Gbase-T PoE+++ ports, higher PoE budget, and a touchscreen display over the $499 USW-Pro-XG-8-PoE. Ubiquiti’s latest enterprise switch, the UniFi USW-Pro-XG-10-PoE, is a significant upgrade from the desktop-form-factor USW-Pro-XG-8-PoE. Priced at $699 (versus $499 for the 8-port model), it shifts to a 1U rackmount chassis with ten 10Gbase-T ports supporting Ubiquiti’s Etherlighting and 802.3bt Type 4 Class 8 PoE+++ power delivery. The switch also includes two SFP+ 10 Gbps uplink ports, bringing total port count to 12. A 1.3-inch touchscreen with AR switch management provides real-time status, while the rear panel features four fans, AC power input with a safety latch, and a DC power input for Ubiquiti’s power solutions. Rack ears, cage nuts, screws, and rubber feet are included for flexible mounting. The power-cable lock is a notable convenience feature. This switch targets network administrators and prosumers seeking high-density 10 GbE PoE+++ for Wi-Fi 6/7 access points, cameras, and IoT devices in data centers or enterprise LANs.

For those needing more PoE budget and ports in a rackmount form factor, the USW-Pro-XG-10-PoE delivers a clear upgrade path over the 8-port model.
