Ubiquiti UDB Switch - A Switch With No Uplink Cable?! Tests & Demo

Published at : 18 Dec 2025

Today we’re diving deep into the new Ubiquiti UDB Switch — a game-changer in the networking world: a switch that doesn’t need a wired uplink. That’s right… wireless 10 Gbps uplinks, 185 W of PoE, and full switch functionality.

In this video we cover:
What the UDB Switch actually is, and how it works within the UniFi ecosystem.
Real-world setup and pairing demo.
Throughput & latency tests (Open speed test).
Can it actually power multiple devices?

Real install scenario:
replacing a wired uplink in the wild.
Pros, cons and use-cases for installers & prosumers.
Also, a quick sneak peek of the new UDB IoT device (video coming soon!)

Why this matters:
If you’re tired of running uplink cables, or you’re deploying in hard-to-wire locations (out-buildings, warehouses, car parks) — this may be the solution. We test not just the marketing claims, but real performance, stability and implementation challenges.
