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: Multigigabit 1/2.5/5GbE access ports support Wi-Fi 6/6E access points without an uplink bottleneck; Class 6 PoE with high total power budget suits dense AP and camera deployments; Four SFP56 uplinks offer 10/25/50GbE options for aggregation; Layer 3 managed switching with VSF stacking for redundancy and simpler management; Aruba central management and security features integrate with the broader HPE Aruba Networking ecosystem
  • ✘ Cons: Premium pricing compared with 1GbE-only access switches; Published throughput, PoE budget, and stacking figures vary between SKUs and sources, making specs hard to confirm; Full PoE and 25/50GbE uplink capability requires specific SKUs and optics or cabling; Higher power and cooling demand than basic 1GbE switches; Advanced features and licensing may add cost beyond the base hardware price
  • Est. Price: $13,174 - $22,526
