Ubiquiti EdgeMAX ER-X-SFP Router | Gigabit + SFP Port – Wavetech Kenya

The Ubiquiti EdgeMAX ER-X-SFP is a powerful yet cost-effective Gigabit router designed for ISPs, SMEs, and advanced home networks. Part of the EdgeMAX EdgeRouter series, the ER-X-SFP delivers enterprise-grade routing performance, flexibility, and reliability at an affordable price point.

This model builds upon the success of the EdgeRouter X, with the addition of a dedicated Gigabit SFP port, providing support for fiber uplinks. This makes it ideal for service providers, enterprise backhaul, and businesses in Kenya looking for high-performance and versatile routing solutions.

Powered by EdgeOS, Ubiquiti’s robust and intuitive operating system, the ER-X-SFP offers advanced features including VLANs, static routing, dynamic routing (OSPF, RIP, BGP), firewall policies, NAT, VPN support, and QoS. Whether for small business networks, campus deployments, or WISPs (Wireless Internet Service Providers), the ER-X-SFP provides flexible control and excellent scalability.

The router features five Gigabit RJ45 ports for wired connections, plus one SFP port, which enables fiber connectivity to achieve longer distances and faster data transfer rates. Its passive PoE input/output capability allows powering other devices such as an airMAX CPE, UniFi AP, or another EdgeRouter, simplifying deployment and reducing cabling requirements.

With dual-core 880 MHz processors and hardware offloading, the ER-X-SFP ensures high throughput, supporting up to 1 million packets per second. This means it can handle heavy network demands, including streaming, VoIP, surveillance backhaul, and business-grade internet services, without compromising performance.

Designed in a compact and fanless enclosure, the Ubiquiti EdgeMAX ER-X-SFP is silent, energy-efficient, and suitable for any office or server room setup. It provides the perfect balance of performance, flexibility, and affordability for Kenyan businesses looking for advanced networking solutions.
