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

Fortinet FortiSwitch 124G (FS-124G)
★ 3.5 Value Score

Technical Specifications

  • Switching Capacity: 240 Gbps (duplex)
  • Forwarding Rate: 355 Mpps (64-byte)
  • Ports (breakdown): 24x 2.5GbE RJ45 (2.5G/1G/100M/10M) + 6x 10G SFP+ uplinks (10G/1G SFP+ or SFP); 1x RJ45 console
  • PoE Budget: None (base model is non-PoE; the FS-124G-FPOE variant has a 780 W budget)
  • Layer: Layer 2 managed switch, managed by FortiGate via FortiLink (Layer 3 routing not confirmed by sources)
  • Stacking support: FortiLink-based Auto Inter-Switch Links; not standalone switch stacking
  • MAC Address Table: 32,000 entries
  • Memory: 1 GB RAM, 256 MB flash
  • Cooling: Fanless
  • Form Factor: 1RU rack-mountable
  • VLANs: 4,096 (figures vary between sources)

Curation Review

  • ✔ Pros: Multigig 2.5GbE access ports support Wi-Fi 6/6E APs and other 2.5G endpoints above gigabit speeds; 6x 10G SFP+ uplinks provide high-bandwidth aggregation to a FortiGate or core switch; Centralized management, VLAN, and policy control through FortiGate via FortiLink; 240 Gbps switching capacity and 355 Mpps forwarding rate support line-rate access-layer performance; Fanless design in a compact 1RU chassis; Lower price than the FPOE variant when PoE is not needed
  • ✘ Cons: No PoE on the base model, so PoE-dependent devices need the FS-124G-FPOE SKU or external injectors; Requires a FortiGate for full management, making it less useful as a standalone switch; Layer 3 routing is not confirmed, which limits use as a distribution or core switch; Specs come mainly from reseller listings rather than an official Fortinet datasheet, and some figures (such as VLAN count) vary between sources; Pricing varies by reseller and currency, and FortiCare support licenses are priced separately
  • Est. Price: $1,034 - $1,624
