Introduction
One of the challenges with large PoE deployments is figuring out how to provide power to your UniFi access points. When you have many access points it becomes less viable to power devices using AC PoE Injectors. With non-PoE capable switches, you can add a Midspan device which acts a collection of individual PoE injectors by receiving ethernet from the switch with only data being transmitted and adding power out over ethernet through the connection. Such a piece of equipment takes up additional space on your rack, while also costing you a lot of money.
To help with such deployments, UniFi Switches come in a few different models with varying numbers of ports from 8, 16, 24 and 48. These switches are endspan devices as they act as both the switch and provide PoE to devices. UniFi switches give you greater functionality when used with UniFi Access Points (UAPs) or UniFi Security Gateways (USGs) and cost well under the amount of the midspan device alone.
