You don't need a rack full of gear. You need six APs, a couple of cameras, and an uplink that actually works. The UniFi Pro 8 PoE is the small-office switch that does exactly that. Six ports run PoE+ for standard access points and phones; two handle PoE++ for higher-draw gear. The 120W total budget covers a typical 6-to-8 device setup without breaking a sweat. Two 10G SFP+ uplinks mean your switch-to-switch or switch-to-router link isn't the bottleneck. Layer 3 switching is standard, not a firmware wait-and-see. One thing to note: you'll need UniFi Network Controller version 7.5.176 or later. If you're already on UniFi, you're set
