Hybrid Networking Solution: Multi-Gigabit PoE Switch and WiFi 7 Bridge
UniFi Device Bridge Switch UDB-Switch Redefining the concept of a traditional switch, the UDB-Switch combines two crucial functions: a high-performance PoE+ switch and a high-speed wireless bridge. Instead of relying entirely on physical Ethernet cables for uplink connectivity, the UDB-Switch utilizes advanced WiFi 7 technology to establish a stable multi-gigabit wireless link to a central UniFi WiFi system. This allows businesses to completely eliminate wiring barriers, bringing high-speed network connectivity wherever WiFi coverage is available. This solution is particularly useful for remote areas, separate buildings, or locations with complex structures, simplifying network expansion without the need for drilling walls or expensive cabling.
Superior Performance with Multi-Gigabit Ports and Powerful PoE+ Power Supply
Designed for the high bandwidth demands of modern businesses, UniFi Device Bridge Switch UDB-Switch Equipped with a robust port configuration, the device includes one 10 GbE port and seven 2.5 GbE ports, ensuring the ability to handle high traffic from high-performance computers, storage servers, 4K security cameras, and other WiFi access points. All 2.5 GbE ports support PoE+, allowing for simultaneous power and data transmission over a single Ethernet cable.
- Flexible PoE power source: Included with the 60W adapter, the device provides a total PoE power output of 35W, sufficient for low-power devices.
- Capacity expansion: When using the optional 210W adapter, the maximum PoE power output can reach 185W, easily powering multiple security cameras, IP phones, or other WiFi access points.
This is an ideal choice for businesses that need a centralized and efficient power supply solution, minimizing wiring complexity.
Flexible Deployment Model, Optimized Costs for Businesses
Thanks to its unique wireless connectivity capabilities, the UDB-Switch opens up many practical application scenarios, helping businesses save significantly on deployment costs and time.
Some typical deployment models:
- Open-plan office: Easily set up a new workstation cluster with multiple computers, printers, and IP phones without having to reroute network cabling from the server room. Simply place the UDB-Switch at the cluster and connect it wirelessly to the main AP.
- Hotels and resorts: Connect and power security camera systems or WiFi access points in remote areas such as gardens, beaches, and private villas without the need to run hundreds of meters of fiber optic or network cables.
- Factories and warehouses: Providing stable network connectivity for workstations, IoT devices, and surveillance cameras in large production areas where traditional wiring is challenging.
- Temporary event or location: Quickly set up a temporary network for conferences, exhibitions, or mobile sales booths without requiring fixed cabling infrastructure.
The ability to quickly redeploy is also a major advantage, allowing network administrators to easily relocate or change the network structure as needed.

Frequently Asked Questions about UniFi Device Bridge Switch UDB-Switch
How is the UniFi Device Bridge Switch (UDB Switch) different from a regular switch?
The biggest difference is that UDB switches can use WiFi 7 wireless connectivity as an uplink (connecting to the central network), while conventional switches require Ethernet cables. This allows for network deployment in locations where wiring is not feasible.
How many PoE devices can I power using a UDB-Switch?
The number of devices you can power depends on the total power consumption. With the included 60W adapter, you get 35W of PoE power. Upgrading to a 210W adapter (sold separately) will give you a total power output of up to 185W, allowing you to power more devices such as cameras, IP phones, or WiFi access points.
What do I need to manage a UDB-Switch?
You need to use UniFi Network Application version 10.0 (Release Candidate) or later. The device will be centrally managed along with other UniFi devices in your network, providing a consistent and intuitive management experience.
