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

Compare Against

Aruba (HPE) Aruba 6400 Switch
Aruba (HPE) Aruba 6400 Switch
★ 3.2 Value Score

Technical Specifications

  • Switching Capacity: 14 Tb/s (6405 chassis); 28 Tb/s (6410 chassis), per HPE performance table
  • Forwarding Rate: 10 Bpps (6405); 20 Bpps (6410) per HPE performance table. QuickSpecs cite 11.4 Bpps for the 6410 family, so this figure is unresolved
  • Ports: Modular chassis: 6405 has 5 open module slots and 6410 has 10. Modules include 48-port 1GbE/2.5GbE/5GbE PoE (Class 4 and Class 6), 24-port SFP/SFP+/10GBASE-T, and 4-port SFP56 uplink modules. Port count scales with installed modules (6405: 48-240 PoE ports; 6410: 48-480 PoE ports)
  • PoE Budget: Per-port up to 60W (802.3bt). HPE lists 28,880 W for the 6410 family. Per-chassis PoE budget not confirmed in sources
  • Layer: L3 (BGP, OSPF, EVPN, VXLAN, VRF)
  • Stacking support: Not supported. High availability is provided by VSX (Virtual Switching Extension)

Curation Review

  • ✔ Pros: Modular chassis design (5- and 10-slot) lets buyers scale ports and PoE by adding modules; High switching capacity (14-28 Tb/s) for campus core and data center aggregation; Full Layer 3 feature set including BGP, OSPF, EVPN and VXLAN; VSX provides high availability and non-disruptive fast upgrades; Mixed-speed PoE modules (1GbE, 2.5GbE, 5GbE, Class 6 60W) support modern APs and cameras; Gen7 ASIC architecture per reseller listings
  • ✘ Cons: High entry price; chassis plus modules can exceed USD 25,000 once configured; Modular design requires careful module and power planning; Published forwarding-rate and per-chassis PoE budget figures conflict across sources; No stacking, so VSX pairing adds design and licensing complexity; Overkill for small branch or access-only deployments
  • Est. Price: $12,783 - $25,921
