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

Curation Review

  • ✔ Pros: Very high 6440 Gbps switching capacity in a 1 RU chassis; 32 dense 100GE/40GE QSFP28/QSFP+ ports; Sub-microsecond latency suited to data center fabrics; Dual hot-swappable AC power supplies for redundancy; L2/L3 capability with 32 MB packet buffer and 8 queues per port; FortiLink integration with FortiGate for centralized management; Limited lifetime warranty on hardware
  • ✘ Cons: No PoE, so it is unsuitable for powering endpoints or APs; High hardware cost (about $22.6K to $30.7K before support); Loud at 73 dBA, which is unsuitable for office or wiring-closet use; Requires a FortiGate for full management via FortiLink; Uplinks are 100GE/40GE only, so the 10GE SFP+ ports are the only lower-speed options; Support licensing is priced separately and adds significant cost over the hardware; One reseller lists the product as end of life and on backorder, so availability should be verified
  • Est. Price: $22,623 - $30,736
