Curation Review

  • ✔ Pros: Sixteen 802.3at PoE+ ports with a 95 W budget suit access points, cameras and phones; 52 Gbps switching capacity covers 24 gigabit ports at line rate; Two SFP uplink ports allow fiber or 1G SFP module uplinks; Managed through the UniFi Network controller with VLAN, QoS and port-level controls; Low 25 W draw excluding PoE output keeps baseline power costs down; Price sits well below enterprise PoE switches
  • ✘ Cons: Uplinks are 1G SFP only, with no 10G SFP+ option; Only 16 of 24 ports support PoE, and the 95 W total budget limits high-draw PoE loads; Layer 2 focus, so routing features are limited compared with L3 switches; No stacking documented; Independent lab throughput testing was not found, so performance relies on vendor figures; Retail prices vary widely across sellers and currencies
  • Est. Price: $350 - $520

Curation Review

  • ✔ Pros: Layer 3 switching in a 24-port 1U chassis; 8x 2.5GbE PoE++ ports for multi-gig wireless and workstation uplinks; 400W total PoE budget with up to 60W per port; 2x 10G SFP+ uplinks; 112 Gbps switching capacity and 56 Gbps non-blocking throughput; managed centrally through UniFi Network; list price of $799 USD from Ubiquiti's US store is competitive for L3 PoE++ hardware
  • ✘ Cons: 400W total PoE budget is limited if many high-power PoE++ devices are connected at once; No physical stacking documented, so scaling beyond one unit needs separate management; Port breakdown is described inconsistently across retailer listings, so the official Ubiquiti datasheet should be checked; Reseller prices vary widely (about $799 to $951 USD, plus higher regional prices); Independent hands-on reviews with measured performance were not found; Requires UniFi Network 8.0.24 or later for management
  • Est. Price: $799 - $951
