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: 48 PoE++ ports supporting 802.3bt Type 4 with an 1800 W budget; 8x 25G SFP28 uplinks for high-speed aggregation; 720 Gbps switching capacity and 1071 Mpps forwarding; dual redundant 1200 W power supplies; Layer 2/3 operation; tight integration with FortiGate via FortiLink for centralized management; 4K VLAN and 64K MAC table support
  • ✘ Cons: Ports top out at 5GbE (no native 10GbE RJ45), which may limit high-speed wired endpoints; PoE budget falls to 780 W with a single PSU and 600 W on 100-120V input; full management benefits require a FortiGate controller; no physical stacking, so scaling depends on FortiLink limits; high acquisition cost compared with general-purpose PoE switches; FortiCare support and licensing are sold separately
  • Est. Price: $7,814 - $12,870
