In this video, we check out the brand new Ubiquiti Device Bridge Switch (UDB-Switch)! This device features a built-in screen, a Wi-Fi 7 backbone, and a serious array of ports including 10G PoE+. We test how well it handles high-bandwidth tasks wirelessly and discuss how this could solve major infrastructure headaches for open offices and restaurants. Is this the ultimate wireless switch? Let's dive in! š
In this video, we cover:
Hardware Specs: A breakdown of the 7x 2.5G PoE+ ports and the 1x 10G PoE+ port.
Wi-Fi 7 Backbone: Using 6 GHz to create a wireless uplink with massive throughput.
The Screen: Viewing signal strength (-40dBm!), throughput, and port status right on the device.
Speed Tests: We connect a Mac Mini via 10G and hit 1 Gbps down over Wi-Fi! ā”
Power Budget: Understanding the 185W capacity and power adapter options (60W vs 210W).
Real-World Solutions: How this switch solves the "floating desk" problem in offices without floor cores.
Device Compatibility: Powering VoIP phones and Intercom Viewers (and why the UNAS2 might need an injector).
Pricing: Availability and the $299 price point.
