Overview
The Ubiquiti EAH-8 Enterprise Access Hub is an access-control controller designed to manage entry and exit functions for up to eight doors. It provides dedicated inputs for request-to-exit devices and door-position sensors, lock terminals, auxiliary outputs, Ethernet connectivity, and PoE+ outputs for compatible access devices.
Access Control
The EAH-8 supports up to eight doors and up to 10,000 users. It provides eight inputs for request-to-exit devices, eight inputs for door-position sensors, and one emergency input. Eight lock terminals support 12V or dry-contact operation, while four AUX terminals support advanced functions such as chimes, sirens, and door openers.
Networking and PoE
The access hub provides ten 10/100/1000 Base-T networking interfaces and eight PoE+ outputs. Each PoE port supports up to 30W, with a maximum aggregated PoE output of 190W according to Ubiquiti's current technical specifications.
Power and Battery Backup
The EAH-8 uses an internal AC/DC power supply and accepts 100–240V AC input at up to 4.4A, 50/60 Hz. It also supports a 32–48V DC lead-acid battery input for backup power, with a maximum specified current of 7.5A at 32V. Maximum power consumption is 240W.
Installation and Environment
The EAH-8 is designed for indoor wall mounting. Ubiquiti specifies an operating temperature range of 32°F to 104°F (0°C to 40°C) and operating humidity of 5% to 95%, non-condensing. The enclosure uses an SGCC steel housing with a polycarbonate cover, while the mount uses SGCC steel.
Key Features
- Controls access for up to eight doors
- Supports up to 10,000 users
- Eight PoE+ outputs with up to 30W per port
- Eight lock terminals plus four auxiliary terminals
- AC power with 32–48V DC lead-acid battery backup support
Applications
The EAH-8 is intended for centralized electronic access-control deployments requiring control of multiple doors from a single access hub. Its combination of door inputs, lock outputs, Ethernet networking, PoE outputs, and battery-backup support allows access-control components to be managed from a centralized installation point.
DC Supplies Product Note
The EAH-8 is an indoor-only access-control hub, so installation planning should account for its wall-mount requirement and the specified 0°C to 40°C operating environment. For PoE-connected access devices, Ubiquiti specifies up to 30W per PoE port and a maximum aggregated PoE output of 190W.
