It always annoys me when I buy a switch and can&#8217;t use all the ports because they are shared on the bus.<\/p>\n<p>An interesting feature on this switch is a redundant DC input option. \u00a0This can be anything from 16-25volts and be able to support 56watts. This results in a minimum of a 2.2 Amp power supply. \u00a0 This is assuming a full load on the switch as well. For the WISP market this could be a very handy option. \u00a0You could install the switch where it is drawing from AC power but in the event of AC outage it will switch to a DC source. \u00a0One of my questions to UBNT is if you can run it off total DC.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1340\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1340\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img data-attachment-id=\"1340\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.mtin.net\/blog\/ubiquiti-edgeswitch-16xg-first-look\/img_3912\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.mtin.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG_3912.jpg?fit=3264%2C2448&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"3264,2448\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;2.2&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;iPhone 6 Plus&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1470742940&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;4.15&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;100&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.25&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"IMG_3912\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.mtin.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG_3912.jpg?fit=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.mtin.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG_3912.jpg?fit=580%2C435&amp;ssl=1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-1340 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.mtin.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG_3912.jpg?resize=300%2C225\" alt=\"UBNT Redundant Power\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.mtin.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG_3912.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.mtin.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG_3912.jpg?resize=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.mtin.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG_3912.jpg?w=1160 1160w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.mtin.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG_3912.jpg?w=1740 1740w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1340\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">DC Input Jack<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Now on to some nitpicky design things. \u00a0None of these really affect the performance of the switch, just are annoyances.<\/p>\n<p>-The console port not being on the front.\u00a0In today\u2019s dense rack environments we are putting patch panels and Transfer switches in the backs of the rack.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>If we have to get to the back of the front mounted devices then anything other than power becomes an annoyance.
