Ubiquiti EdgeSwitch 10XP Managed PoE Switch (ES-10XP)

The Ubiquiti EdgeSwitch 10XP (ES-10XP) is a compact, fanless Layer 2 switch designed to offer high-performance switching along with PoE flexibility for small-scale networking environments and remote deployments. As part of the EdgeMAX portfolio, this model delivers enterprise-grade performance and manageability in a highly efficient form factor tailored for silent operation and space-constrained settings. Whether deployed in offices, studios, customer sites, or in support of small wireless networks, the EdgeSwitch 10XP provides a reliable foundation for Layer 2 networking tasks.

The EdgeSwitch 10XP is equipped with ten ports in total—eight 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ45 Ethernet ports and two 1 Gbps SFP ports for fiber uplinks. All eight RJ45 ports support 24V passive PoE output, allowing administrators to power compatible Ubiquiti devices such as airMAX CPEs, UniFi access points, or other IP equipment directly from the switch. This significantly reduces the need for separate power injectors and simplifies deployment, particularly in remote or distributed networks where power access may be limited.

True to its name, the ES-10XP builds upon the base model ES-10X by integrating full passive PoE output across all copper ports. This makes it especially appealing for installations that require a greater degree of flexibility in powering end devices without increasing hardware complexity. It’s ideal for powering a set of Ubiquiti radios or devices within a wireless distribution system, small surveillance networks, or as a customer-premises switch in WISP scenarios.

A major advantage of the ES-10XP is its fanless cooling system. Designed for silent operation, it’s well-suited to deployment in noise-sensitive environments such as conference rooms, retail spaces, or equipment closets. Its sturdy metal housing adds a layer of durability, ensuring the switch performs reliably even in industrial or semi-outdoor cabinets, provided it’s protected from environmental exposure.

Management is straightforward using Ubiquiti’s EdgeOS operating system, which provides a full suite of tools for monitoring and configuring network behavior. Through its intuitive browser-based interface, network administrators can easily set up VLANs, configure trunking, apply traffic shaping, and monitor real-time network activity. Advanced features like port isolation, rate limiting, and link aggregation are all supported, offering enhanced control for more complex networking needs.

With a focus on efficiency, reliability, and flexibility, the Ubiquiti EdgeSwitch 10XP is an ideal solution for those needing an intelligent PoE-capable switch in a compact form. Its blend of passive PoE support, fiber uplink options, silent operation, and powerful Layer 2 features make it a versatile choice for small businesses, integrators, and network professionals seeking to expand and simplify their infrastructure.
