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 9200L
★ 3.4 Value Score

Technical Specifications

  • Switching Capacity: 176 Gbps (48-port 4x10G model; other SKUs range from 56 to 176 Gbps, reseller listings conflict)
  • Forwarding Rate: 130.95 Mpps (48-port 4x10G model; some listings show 261.9 Mpps for the same SKU)
  • Ports: 24 or 48 x 10/100/1000 Ethernet (PoE+ or non-PoE, depending on SKU); 4 x 10G SFP+ or 4 x 1G uplinks; 2 x 25G/10G uplink options on multigigabit variants
  • PoE Budget: 30W per port PoE+; total budget varies by PSU, e.g. 740 W for C9200L-48P-4X-E, 370 W for the partial-PoE 48PL variant (reseller listings, not verified against Cisco)
  • Layer: L2 with Network Essentials; L3 routing with Network Advantage (Essentials supports basic routed access only)
  • Stacking support: Yes, StackWise-80 (80 Gbps stack bandwidth, up to 8 members per stack, requires C9200L-STACK-KIT; some sources cite StackWise-160 or StackWise-480, which appear to be errors)

Curation Review

  • ✔ Pros: Compact, cost-effective access layer switch for small and mid-sized networks; PoE+ on 30W per port for powering IP phones, cameras and APs; 10G SFP+ uplinks on 4X models; stacking supports up to 8 members managed as one logical unit; Network Advantage adds full L3 routing (OSPF, EIGRP, IS-IS, VRF, VXLAN) and SD-Access support; runs Cisco IOS XE with DNA Center and Catalyst Center management options; perpetual base licenses with optional term-based DNA subscriptions
  • ✘ Cons: Network Essentials limits routing to basic protocols such as RIP and limited OSPF; SD-Access supports only one virtual network versus more on the modular Catalyst 9200; no field-replaceable fans and no modular uplink options; stack members must run the same license level, and mixing -A and -E is not supported; published switching, forwarding and PoE figures vary across reseller listings, so the official Cisco datasheet must be checked per SKU; the 9200L is positioned below the modular 9300 for larger deployments and higher port density
  • Est. Price: $1,783 - $4,604
