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
✔ Pros:24 multi-gig access ports (2.5G/1G/100M) for wireless and high-speed endpoints; 780 W PoE budget with 8 ports supporting 802.3bt (90W) for high-power devices; 240 Gbps switching capacity with 355 Mpps forwarding and sub-microsecond latency; 6 SFP+ 10G uplinks; managed through FortiGate/FortiLink with port-level security, quarantine and VLAN deployment; 1 RU rack-mountable form factor
✘ Cons:Switching capacity is listed as 128 Gbps by one source but 240 Gbps by most others, so verify against Fortinet's official datasheet; one retailer lists the product as End of Life, so confirm availability before buying; FortiCare support is sold separately and some contracts are renewal-only; prices vary widely across resellers ($1,508.72 to $2,370.00 MSRP) and some listings do not clearly state currency; best value depends on a FortiGate/FortiLink deployment, which may be overkill for simple office use; no independent reviews were found, and stacking support is not confirmed
