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

  • Weight: 4.6 kg without brackets

Curation Review

  • ✔ Pros: 760 Gbps switching capacity and 565 Mpps forwarding rate for aggregation duty; 28 x 10G SFP+ plus 4 x 25G SFP28 uplink ports; Layer 3 switching with Layer 2 features; DC input for redundant power backup; compact 1U rack form factor
  • ✘ Cons: No PoE, so it can't power APs or cameras directly; no stacking listed; not in stock on Ubiquiti's US store (marked 'No restock date yet'); 100 W power draw is high for a non-PoE 1U switch; price is above many 10G-only alternatives
  • Est. Price: $899 - $1,048
