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: Twelve 2.5GbE PoE+ ports suit multi-gigabit Wi-Fi 6 access points; 400 W PoE budget powers several PoE+ devices at once; Two 10GbE SFP+ uplinks for aggregation or backbone links; 124 Gbps switching capacity with a 2 MB packet buffer and 16,000-entry MAC table; Broad Layer 2/3 feature set including LACP, STP/RSTP, 802.1X, IGMP snooping, DHCP snooping, port isolation and QoS; Optional DC input for redundant power; NDAA compliant; Managed through the UniFi controller ecosystem
  • ✘ Cons: Ubiquiti lists this model as Vintage, so it may be superseded and harder to source with full warranty; PoE is limited to 802.3at (PoE+), with no PoE++ and not compatible with U7/E7 PoE++ access points; The 400 W PoE budget can be exhausted quickly with high-power PoE+ cameras or APs; Per-port PoE is capped at 32 W; Layer 3 is limited to static and local inter-VLAN routing, so larger routed networks need an external router; Stacking is not listed in official specifications; Heavy for its class at 5.1 kg and draws 60 W before any PoE load; Few independent tests verify real-world forwarding or routing performance
  • Est. Price: $799 - $1,009
