Ubiquiti EdgeRouter X SFP
Compact 5-port Gigabit EdgeRouter with SFP uplink port and passive 24V PoE on all RJ45 ports. Dual-core 880 MHz MIPS processor with hardware acceleration for 1M packets per second routing. PoE passthrough allows port 0 to power ports 1–4 directly, eliminating the need for a separate PoE switch at remote sites.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the EdgeRouter X and EdgeRouter X SFP?
The standard EdgeRouter X has 5 RJ45 ports only. The EdgeRouter X SFP adds a 6th SFP port for fibre or SFP-to-RJ45 uplinks, and includes 24V passive PoE on all 5 RJ45 ports. The SFP variant is significantly more versatile for deployments that require a fibre uplink or passive PoE output.
How does PoE passthrough work on the ER-X-SFP?
Port 0 (WAN) accepts 24V passive PoE from an upstream switch or injector, and the ER-X-SFP distributes this power to ports 1–4 for connected Ubiquiti airMAX CPEs or access points. This allows a single PoE cable to power both the router and up to 4 connected devices — ideal for remote site installations.
Is the EdgeRouter X SFP suitable for a small office or retail shop in Kenya?
Yes. At KES 17,000 the ER-X-SFP is one of the best-value routers for small offices and retail shops needing advanced routing features (VLAN, QoS, firewall, VPN) with a fibre uplink option. Pair it with a UniFi access point for a complete wired + wireless solution.
What is the EdgeRouter X SFP price in Kenya?
The Ubiquiti EdgeRouter X SFP is available at KES 17,000 at ubiquiti.co.ke — exceptional value for a router with SFP uplink, passive PoE output, and enterprise routing features.
