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

  • Latency: Under 1 u00b5s

Curation Review

  • ✔ Pros: 24 multi-gig access ports (2.5G/1G/100M) for wireless and high-speed endpoints; 780 W PoE budget with 8 ports supporting 802.3bt (90W) for high-power devices; 240 Gbps switching capacity with 355 Mpps forwarding and sub-microsecond latency; 6 SFP+ 10G uplinks; managed through FortiGate/FortiLink with port-level security, quarantine and VLAN deployment; 1 RU rack-mountable form factor
  • ✘ Cons: Switching capacity is listed as 128 Gbps by one source but 240 Gbps by most others, so verify against Fortinet's official datasheet; one retailer lists the product as End of Life, so confirm availability before buying; FortiCare support is sold separately and some contracts are renewal-only; prices vary widely across resellers ($1,508.72 to $2,370.00 MSRP) and some listings do not clearly state currency; best value depends on a FortiGate/FortiLink deployment, which may be overkill for simple office use; no independent reviews were found, and stacking support is not confirmed
  • Est. Price: $1,509 - $2,370
