Curation Review

  • ✔ Pros: Selective 2.5GbE ports (16 of 48) let you add Wi-Fi 7 APs and other high-bandwidth devices without buying a full 2.5GbE switch; PoE++ (64W per port on 8 of the 2.5GbE and 8 of the 1GbE ports) supports higher-power devices such as PTZ cameras; 720W PoE budget covers dense PoE deployments; Layer 3 features with 224 Gbps switching capacity and 4 x 10G SFP+ uplinks; Etherlighting port indicators help with port management and remote troubleshooting in dense racks
  • ✘ Cons: Only 16 of 48 ports are 2.5GbE, which can surprise buyers expecting faster access ports; the price is high compared with 1GbE-only managed switches; the fans can be audible, so it suits server rooms or network closets better than offices; full Etherlighting effect requires Ubiquiti translucent patch cables, adding cost; the Etherlighting cable ecosystem is tied to Ubiquiti's own products; the reviewer recommends the Pro Max 16 PoE for most Wi-Fi 7 upgraders because of better value
  • Est. Price: $1,299 - $1,552
