UniFi WAN Switch RJ45 – 10 GbE switch for High Availability
The UniFi WAN Switch RJ45 (USW-WAN-RJ45) is a 10 GbE professional-grade switch designed to interconnect two UniFi gateways in Shadow Mode (High Availability) with a single ISP uplink. It delivers high throughput, power redundancy, and full integration with the UniFi ecosystem, making it an ideal solution for networks requiring continuous uptime and fault tolerance.
Product Description
USW-WAN-RJ45 allows seamless integration of two UniFi gateways operating in high-availability mode with a single internet provider. It features three 10 GbE RJ45 ports (1× uplink, 2× downlink) and a dedicated 1 GbE RJ45 management port for simplified configuration and remote monitoring. Dual internal AC power supplies ensure redundancy and failover support. Managed entirely via the UniFi Network Controller (v9.1.119 or newer required), the USW-WAN-RJ45 integrates easily into enterprise networks and mission-critical environments.
Key Features
- 10 GbE Connectivity: Three 10G RJ45 ports provide fast, non-blocking throughput – 1× uplink to ISP and 2× downlinks to UniFi gateways.
- High Availability Mode: Enables Shadow Mode failover between two gateways for maximum WAN reliability.
- Dual Internal Power Supplies: Redundant 100–240 V AC power inputs offer failover protection and operational stability.
- 1U Rack-Mount Design: Compact, durable SGCC steel enclosure for standard 19” racks with passive cooling.
- High Throughput: Up to 20 Gbps switching capacity and ~15 Mpps forwarding rate.
- UniFi Controller Integration: Fully managed via UniFi Network (version ≥9.1.119), ensuring centralized control and seamless deployment.
