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

Curation Review

  • ✔ Pros: Twelve 2.5GbE PoE+ ports suit multi-gigabit Wi-Fi 6 access points; 400 W PoE budget covers many PoE+ devices at once; Layer 3 managed switch with 124 Gbps switching capacity and 2 MB packet buffer; Two 10G SFP+ uplinks for aggregation or backbone links; Jumbo frame support and 16,000-entry MAC table; Managed through the UniFi controller ecosystem
  • ✘ Cons: Ubiquiti lists this model as Vintage, so it may be superseded and harder to source with full warranty; PoE is limited to 802.3at PoE+ (30 W class), with no PoE++ for U7/E7-class APs; Total PoE budget of 400 W can be exhausted quickly with high-power PoE+ cameras or APs; Heavy for its class at 5.1 kg and uses 60 W before PoE load; Official spec sheet does not list stacking support, fan noise or warranty terms; Not enough independent testing found to verify real-world forwarding rates or Layer 3 routing performance
  • Est. Price: $965 - $1,000
