High Availability 10G WAN Switching for Shadow Mode Gateways

Purpose-built 10G WAN switch for linking two High Availability (HA) UniFi Gateways to a single ISP, the USW-WAN ensures seamless redundancy, consistent uptime, and carrier-grade WAN aggregation for critical network deployments.

Highlights

• Connect two HA UniFi Gateways to a single ISP

• (3) 10G SFP+ ports and (1) 1G RJ45 Ethernet port

• Dual independent AC power inputs for redundancy

• Compact 1U rackmount design for space efficiency

• Supports deployments with multiple ISPs using additional switches

Optimized for High Availability Gateway Deployments

The USW-WAN is specifically engineered for Shadow Mode HA Gateway setups, enabling two active gateways to share a common upstream ISP link without single points of failure. With 10G SFP+ uplinks, dual redundant power supplies, and carrier-grade throughput, it is a foundational element for high-reliability UniFi WAN infrastructures.

For multi-ISP deployments, additional USW-WAN switches can be integrated to provide full path redundancy and enhanced service provider resiliency.
