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

Compare Against

Ubiquiti Pro Max 48 PoE
Ubiquiti Pro Max 48 PoE
★ 3.6 Value Score

Technical Specifications

  • Switching Capacity: 224 Gbps
  • Forwarding Rate: ~167 Mpps (166.656 Mpps in StorageReview lab test)
  • Ports (breakdown): 48 copper ports: 16 x 2.5GbE + 32 x 1GbE, all PoE-capable; plus 4 x 10G SFP+ uplinks
  • PoE Budget (if applicable): 720W total PoE budget (802.3at/bt; exact PoE+ vs PoE++ per-port split varies by source)
  • Layer (L2/L3): Layer 3
  • Stacking support: Not confirmed in sources; verify on Ubiquiti tech specs before listing

Curation Review

  • ✔ Pros: Layer 3 switching with 224 Gbps switching capacity; 16 x 2.5GbE ports suit multi-gig Wi-Fi 6/7 access points; 720W total PoE budget for 48 ports; 4 x 10G SFP+ uplinks; Etherlighting design with UniFi central management; US list price of $1,299 is lower than many enterprise 48-port L3 PoE switches
  • ✘ Cons: Premium price, with US retailer listings up to about $1,573; 720W PoE budget is about 15W per port on average, which cannot run all 48 ports at full PoE++ power; stacking support is not confirmed in published sources; only 10G SFP+ uplinks, with no 25G option; best managed through UniFi OS or a UniFi controller, which limits use with non-UniFi environments
  • Est. Price: $1,250 - $1,573
