Curation Review
✔ Pros:High-speed 2.5G multi-gigabit ports ideal for Wi-Fi 6/7 access points; generous 6x 10G SFP+ uplinks for high backhaul capacity; fanless design ensures completely silent operation; seamless integration with FortiGate firewalls via FortiLink for centralized security management.
✘ Cons:Lacks Power over Ethernet (PoE) support, requiring injectors or a separate power source for connected devices; fanless design leads to high operating temperatures (often exceeding 50°C); limited Layer 3 features compared to enterprise core switches.
✔ Pros:Multi-gigabit support (2.5 GbE) ideal for Wi-Fi 7/6E; High 720W PoE budget; Etherlighting™ for visual port management; Layer 3 switching features; Silent operation.
✘ Cons:High MSRP of $1,299; Etherlighting requires specific Ubiquiti patch cables for best effect; High power consumption; Significant 400mm depth may not fit all racks; Requires UniFi Network software.
