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: Full 1GbE access with PoE+ and PoE++ options across 8 to 48 ports; MP models add 2.5GbE multigig ports for Wi-Fi 6/6E/7 access points; 1G/10G SFP+ uplinks and VC ports; Virtual Chassis stacking for unified management; Fanless 8P and 12-port models suit quiet or small-footprint installs; Layer 2 and Layer 3 feature set; Perpetual PoE keeps powered devices running during switch reboots; 32,000 MAC addresses with per-port and per-VLAN MAC limiting
  • ✘ Cons: Published switching capacity and forwarding rate are not confirmed for every model (24MP forwarding rate unclear); VC requires 10GbE SFP+ and is not supported with 10GBASE-T transceivers; 8P has only two SFP+ ports, and only ports 2-3 can become VC ports; Fixed internal PSU with no redundancy option; Layer 3 licensing tier and feature details were not verified against the official datasheet; Prices vary widely by reseller and configuration, and some listings are discounted from list price
  • Est. Price: $661 - $5,295
