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

★ 3.5 Value Score

Technical Specifications

  • Switching Capacity: 112 Gbps
  • Total Non-Blocking Throughput: 56 Gbps
  • Forwarding Rate: 83 Mpps (83.328 Mpps per Ubiquiti datasheet)
  • Ports (breakdown): 1 x 1GbE RJ45 (non-PoE); 16 x 1GbE RJ45 (8 PoE+ 802.3at, 8 PoE++ 802.3bt); 8 x 2.5GbE RJ45 (all PoE++); 2 x 10G SFP+. Total: 24 PoE-capable ports plus 1 non-PoE RJ45 and 2 SFP+ uplinks
  • PoE Budget: 400W total; per-port maximums: PoE 15.4W, PoE+ 32W, PoE++ 60W
  • PoE Requirement: N/A (switch supplies PoE; 8 PoE+ and 16 PoE++ ports)
  • Layer: L3 (static routing, inter-VLAN routing, DHCP server and relay); 256 IPv4 static routes
  • Stacking Support: Not listed by Ubiquiti; not supported per available specs
  • MAC Address Table: 16,000 entries
  • ARP / L3 Table: Not published
  • VLANs: 1,000
  • Packet Buffer: 1.5 MB
  • Access Lists: 128 IPv4, 128 MAC
  • Uplink Port Speed: 2 x 10G SFP+ (10G/1G); one retailer lists 25G SFP28, which conflicts with the manufacturer spec
  • Form Factor: 1U rack mount, 442 x 325 x 44 mm, 5.1 kg (without brackets)
  • Power Supply: Internal 550W AC/DC, 100-240V 50/60Hz; max draw 450W including PoE, 50W excluding PoE
  • Management: UniFi Network 8.0.24 or later; 1.3-inch touchscreen LCM
  • Certifications: CE, FCC, IC, Anatel; NDAA compliant

Curation Review

  • ✔ Pros: Eight 2.5GbE PoE++ (60W) ports plus eight 1GbE PoE++ ports suit high-power devices such as Wi-Fi 6E/7 APs and PTZ cameras; Layer 3 with inter-VLAN routing, static routing and DHCP server removes the need for a separate router on small networks; 112 Gbps switching capacity and 56 Gbps non-blocking throughput support full-rate operation on most ports; Two 10G SFP+ uplinks provide a clear path to aggregation or core switches; 1U rack form factor with 1.3-inch touchscreen and Etherlighting; NDAA compliant, which suits government and regulated buyers
  • ✘ Cons: The 400W PoE budget cannot power every port at its 60W maximum (16 PoE++ plus 8 PoE+ ports can request about 1,216W), so the switch must be sized by per-device load; No stacking or clustering support, so scaling beyond one unit means separate management and uplinks; 256 IPv4 static routes and a 16,000-entry MAC table limit larger L3 deployments; Uplinks are 10G SFP+ only, with no 25G option on the official spec; Requires UniFi Network 8.0.24 or later; Price is higher than many non-UniFi 24-port PoE switches, and retailers quote widely varying prices; No independent hands-on review or measured PoE performance data was found in the sources
  • Est. Price: $799 - $966
