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

Compare Against
Juniper Networks EX4400-48P
★ 3.3 Value Score
Technical Specifications
Switching Capacity: 324 Gbps unidirectional / 648 Gbps bidirectional (Juniper docs table; some resellers list 348/696 Gbps, unverified)
Forwarding Rate: 517 Mpps (reseller listings only, not confirmed on Juniper's datasheet)
PoE Budget: Per-port PoE up to 90 W (PoE++/802.3bt). Total budget not stated on the official docs page; reseller/secondary sources cite 1310 W (single PSU) and 2200 W (dual PSU), but these are unverified against Juniper's datasheet
Layer: L2/L3 (Junos OS, Layer 3 features supported; some advanced L3 features may require a license)
Stacking Support: Virtual Chassis supported, up to 10 members, via 100GbE ports
Power Supply: 1x 1600 W AC included (second PSU slot available); 2000 W DC available on the EX4400-48P-S variant
Form Factor: 1U rack-mountable
MAC Address Table: Varies by source (12,000 or 112,000 entries cited); not confirmed
Price Note: No official Juniper list price in USD found. price_min is from Esaitech ($3,199, special order); price_max is from Walmart ($4,900). Aztek lists $7,037.63 and was excluded as an outlier
Curation Review
✔ Pros:48 Gigabit PoE++ ports with up to 90 W per port for high-power devices such as APs, cameras, and displays; 2x 100GbE uplinks plus an expansion slot for 10/25/100GbE flexibility; Junos OS with a consistent CLI and feature set across the EX line; Virtual Chassis support for up to 10 members simplifies management and redundancy; Dual power supply slots allow PSU redundancy; Juniper's MACsec support provides link-layer encryption on access and uplink ports
✘ Cons:Total PoE budget is not clearly published, and sources conflict, which makes power planning harder; Market pricing is inconsistent and no official USD list price was found; Many listings are special order or refurbished, so availability is uncertain; Only 1G access ports, so it is not suited to multi-gig (2.5G/5G) wireless or high-speed server connections (the EX4400-48MP covers that); Vendor branding is shifting to HPE Juniper Networking, which may affect support and documentation links
