The Ubiquiti UniFi WAN Switch (Model: USW-WAN) is a specialized Layer 2 networking appliance engineered to enable seamless High Availability (HA) failover topologies for enterprise gateway infrastructures. Purpose-built to link redundant primary and secondary (Shadow Mode) UniFi Cloud Gateways to a single internet service provider feed, the switch ensures zero-downtime WAN handoff and high-speed multi-gigabit throughput.
Constructed in a compact 1U rackmount SGCC steel enclosure, the USW-WAN features 3 10G SFP+ ports alongside 1 Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 port for local management and access. Designed for maximum uptime in mission-critical environments, the device integrates dual internal AC power supplies to deliver true hardware-level power redundancy. Managed effortlessly through the UniFi Network software, it provides full visibilty into WAN link statuses, port telemetry, and automated switch configuration updates.
Comprehensive Key Features:
High-Availability Gateway Handoff: Engineered specifically to connect dual Shadow Mode UniFi Gateways to a single ISP connection for automatic WAN redundancy.
3x 10G SFP+ Ports: Equipped with (3) 10G SFP+ optical cages to deliver ultra-high-speed multi-gigabit WAN connectivity.
