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

Cisco Catalyst 9200
★ 3.3 Value Score

Technical Specifications

  • Switching Capacity: Up to 128 Gbps (24-port PoE+ model) and 176 Gbps (48-port PoE+ model); up to 288 Gbps and 336 Gbps when stacked
  • Forwarding Rate: Up to 95.23 Mpps (24-port PoE+) and 130.95 Mpps (48-port PoE+); 214 Mpps and 250 Mpps when stacked
  • Ports: 24 or 48 x 1GbE downlink ports (PoE+/UPOE models, with a multigigabit variant on the 9200L); modular uplink slots (1G/10G, 25G, or 40G depending on module); fixed-uplink 9200L models have 4x1G or 4x10G/2x25G uplinks
  • PoE Budget: 740W for 24-port PoE+ models; 1440W for 48-port PoE+ models; 370W partial-PoE budget on selected 48-port models (600W power supply required)
  • Layer: L2 with L3 features (static routing, OSPF, EIGRP, and others) available with the Network Advantage license
  • Stacking: StackWise-160 on modular 9200 models, up to 160 Gbps per member and up to 8 members with the same license level; 9200L fixed models use StackWise-80 and cannot stack with modular 9200 switches
  • Pricing Note: Range based on reseller street prices for 9200L 24-port and 48-port models (SHI listings, Network Essentials/Advantage variants). Modular 9200 pricing not verified; check a current quote before relying on these figures

Curation Review

  • ✔ Pros: Enterprise-grade PoE+ and UPOE switching for access layer deployments; StackWise-160 stacking simplifies management and scales capacity; Modular uplinks allow 10G/25G/40G upgrades; Lower entry price than many enterprise access switches, especially for the 9200L line; Strong security and automation support through DNA Center and IOS-XE; Wide availability through resellers and refurbished channels
  • ✘ Cons: Fixed-uplink 9200L models cannot be stacked with modular 9200 switches, limiting mixed-fleet growth; L3 routing features require the Network Advantage license, which adds cost; 24-port PoE budget (740W) may be limiting for high-power APs and cameras; Published forwarding rates and PoE budgets differ across resellers, so exact figures must be checked against Cisco's datasheet for the specific SKU; Lower switching capacity than Catalyst 9300 for aggregation and core roles
  • Est. Price: $1,844 - $3,704
