Overview
The Ubiquiti ER-6P-US EdgeRouter 6P is a fanless Gigabit router designed for routed network deployments requiring multiple Ethernet interfaces and integrated 24V passive PoE output. It provides five 10/100/1000 RJ45 ports with configurable passive PoE and one 1 Gbps SFP port.
Routing and Hardware
The ER-6P uses a quad-core 1 GHz MIPS64 processor with 1 GB DDR3 RAM and 4 GB eMMC flash storage plus 8 MB SPI NOR. Ubiquiti specifies up to 3.4 million packets per second for 64-byte packets and 6 Gbps line-rate throughput for packet sizes of 512 bytes or larger. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
Network Interfaces
Five Gigabit RJ45 ports provide 10/100/1000 Ethernet connectivity, while the dedicated SFP port supports 1 Gbps fiber SFP modules. A separate RJ45 serial interface is provided for management and CLI access. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
Passive PoE
The five RJ45 ports support configurable 24V passive PoE output. Each port can provide up to 12W using 2-pair powering or up to 24W using 4-pair powering. Passive PoE is disabled by default and should only be enabled for devices that explicitly support the required 24V passive PoE input. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
Power and Installation
The router uses an external 60W AC/DC adapter rated at 24V and 2.5A. Maximum router power consumption is 16W excluding PoE output. The enclosure supports wall mounting, while rack installation requires the optional ER-RMKIT rack-mount accessory. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}
Key Features
- Five Gigabit RJ45 ports with configurable 24V passive PoE
- One 1 Gbps SFP port for fiber connectivity
- Quad-core 1 GHz MIPS64 processor with 1 GB DDR3 RAM
- Up to 6 Gbps line-rate routing throughput
- Fanless metal enclosure for quiet network deployments
Applications
The ER-6P is suited to small and medium network routing deployments, branch networks, ISP and WISP infrastructure, security installations, and environments where compatible Ubiquiti devices can be powered directly through 24V passive PoE.
DC Supplies Product Note
The ER-6P combines routing with five configurable passive-PoE outputs. Because the PoE voltage is 24V passive rather than standard 802.3af/at PoE, the connected device must specifically support 24V passive PoE before the corresponding port is enabled.

FAQs
How many Ethernet ports does the ER-6P have?
It has five Gigabit RJ45 ports and one 1 Gbps SFP port.
Does the ER-6P support PoE?
Yes. Its five RJ45 ports support configurable 24V passive PoE output.
How much PoE power can each port provide?
Each port can provide up to 12W with 2-pair passive PoE or 24W with 4-pair passive PoE. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}
Does it support standard 802.3af/at PoE?
No. The ER-6P provides 24V passive PoE, so connected equipment must explicitly support 24V passive PoE.
Can the ER-6P be rack mounted?
Yes, using the optional ER-RMKIT rack-mount kit. Wall mounting is supported directly. :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}
