  • 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

  • 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: 4 Tbps (bidirectional)
  • Forwarding Rate: 2 Bpps
  • Ports (breakdown): 48 x 1/10/25GbE SFP28 + 8 x 40/100GbE QSFP28
  • PoE Budget: N/A (non-PoE data center switch)
  • Layer (L2/L3): L2/L3 (L3 features such as OSPF/BGP/IS-IS require Juniper licensing; the licensing tier is unclear across sources)
  • Stacking support: Virtual Chassis, up to 2 members (licensing requirement unclear across sources)
  • Packet Buffer: 32 MB
  • Form Factor: 1U fixed, 1.72 x 17.36 x 20.48 in (W x H x D)
  • Power Consumption: 272 W max / 247 W typical
  • Airflow: Varies by SKU (AFI = airflow in, AFO = airflow out, AFO2/AFI2 variants, AC or DC power)

Curation Review

  • ✔ Pros: Dense 25GbE access with 8 x 100GbE uplinks in a compact 1U chassis; 4 Tbps switching capacity and 2 Bpps forwarding rate for line-rate leaf/access use; 32 MB packet buffer suited to bursty data center traffic; Junos OS with full L2/L3 feature set and Virtual Chassis for two-member redundancy; Low power draw (about 272 W max) relative to its port density; Widely available new and used through resellers, with varied airflow and power SKUs
  • ✘ Cons: Limited Virtual Chassis scale (max 2 members) compared with larger stacking platforms; Layer 3 and Virtual Chassis licensing tiers are inconsistently documented, which can add cost; Juniper's official spec pages now redirect to HPE, making primary-source verification harder; Prices vary widely by SKU (airflow direction, AC/DC, license bundle), so the price range is broad; No PoE, so it cannot power access points or phones directly; Fixed 1U form factor with no modular expansion options
  • Est. Price: $4,995 - $22,544
