★ 3.3 Value Score

Technical Specifications

  • Switching Capacity: 176 Gbps
  • Forwarding Rate: 130.95 Mpps
  • Ports (Breakdown): 48x 1GbE RJ45 + 4x SFP+ 10GbE uplink
  • PoE Budget: 740W (802.3at, selective ports)
  • Layer: L2/L3 (with routing capabilities)
  • Stacking Support: Yes, up to 10 units via Virtual Chassis

Curation Review

  • ✔ Pros: Excellent port density for mid-market deployments with 48 Gigabit Ethernet ports; Supports PoE for 740W budget enabling powered devices like IP phones and cameras; Layer 2/3 capability with VLAN, spanning tree, and basic routing support; Virtual Chassis stacking allows logical consolidation of up to 10 units for simplified management
  • ✘ Cons: Limited to Gigabit Ethernet on access ports with only 4x 10GbE uplinks may create bottleneck for high-throughput core deployments; Switching capacity of 176 Gbps is modest compared to modern data center switches; Lower forwarding rate of 130.95 Mpps may struggle with heavy ACL or filtering policies; PoE budget of 740W is relatively limited if many high-power devices are required
  • Est. Price: $2,500 - $4,200
