Question 1

The description says fiber enabled, but the pix show only RJ-45 jacks.  Ubiquiti website says this model can be configured either way.  Does this unit have 2 SFP ports?

Accepted Answer

The ER-Pro8 has 2 SFP ports, which are shared with two of the RJ-45 ports.  When you slot an SFP module in one of these ports, the corresponding RJ-45 port can not be used.  But yes, it absolutely has 2 SFP ports and I've used a variety of SFP modules in those ports.

Question 2

Does this unit do POE?

Accepted Answer

No POE on this device.  The smaller ER-POE-5 may be what you're looking for.  While not rack mountable, it is also a great router.

Question 3

You will need to add a wireless access point or some such as this router does NOT have WiFi broadcasting built in.
