★ 5.0 Value Score

Technical Specifications

  • Switching Capacity: 760 Gbps
  • Forwarding Rate: 565 Mpps
  • Ports: 28 x 10G SFP+ (10G/1G) + 4 x 25G SFP28 (25G/10G/1G)
  • PoE Budget: N/A (non-PoE switch)
  • Layer: L3 (Layer 2 features also supported)
  • Stacking: Not listed
  • Non-blocking Throughput: 380 Gbps
  • Max Power Consumption: 100 W
  • Power Input: Universal AC 100-240 V; DC input for RPS backup
  • Form Factor: 1U rack-mount (442 x 325 x 44 mm)
  • 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

★ 3.2 Value Score

Technical Specifications

  • Switching Capacity: 376 Gbps full duplex (188 Gbps unidirectional), per reseller listings citing Juniper's datasheet
  • Forwarding Rate: 279 Mpps (Juniper specs page)
  • Ports (breakdown): 48x 1GbE 10/100/1000BASE-T RJ-45 access ports (PoE+); 4x 1GbE/10GbE SFP+ MACsec-enabled uplinks; 4x 10GbE/25GbE SFP28 ports (Virtual Chassis by default, configurable as uplinks); 1x dedicated RJ-45 management port; RJ-45 and USB Type-C console
  • PoE Budget: 1440 W with two power supplies (740 W with one 920 W PSU per Juniper spec table); 30 W per port (802.3at PoE+)
  • Layer: L2 switch with Layer 3 features (Junos OS, first release 22.2R1); license requirements for L3 features not confirmed in sources
  • Stacking support: Virtual Chassis, up to 10 switches over the 4x 25GbE SFP28 ports
  • Power supplies: 1x 920 W AC PSU shown on the datasheet; redundancy depends on the second PSU slot
  • Form factor: 1U, 44.09 cm wide x 35 cm deep (38.24 cm with PSU and fans), front-to-back airflow (AFO)
  • Weight: 6.495 kg with PSU and fan module

Curation Review

  • ✔ Pros: 48 x 1GbE PoE+ access ports at 30 W per port in a compact 1U chassis; 4 x 25GbE SFP28 ports allow Virtual Chassis stacking of up to 10 switches or use as uplinks; 4 x 10GbE MACsec-capable SFP+ uplinks for secure backhaul; 1440 W PoE budget with dual power supplies; Junos OS management and Layer 3 feature set; front-to-back airflow suits data-center and rack deployments
  • ✘ Cons: Only 802.3at PoE+ (30 W per port), so it cannot power 802.3bt/PoE++ devices such as high-power APs or PTZ cameras (the 24MP/48MP models are needed for that); access ports are 1GbE, not multi-gig; Layer 3 features may require a separate license; retail pricing varies widely (about $4,300 to $11,000) across sellers; the model is now sold under the HPE Juniper Networking brand, so Juniper-branded support paths may differ; redundancy requires buying a second PSU
  • Est. Price: $4,341 - $10,999
