Curation Review
- ✔ Pros: Layer 3 switching with 224 Gbps switching capacity; 16 x 2.5GbE ports suit multi-gig Wi-Fi 6/7 access points; 720W total PoE budget for 48 ports; 4 x 10G SFP+ uplinks; Etherlighting design with UniFi central management; US list price of $1,299 is lower than many enterprise 48-port L3 PoE switches
- ✘ Cons: Premium price, with US retailer listings up to about $1,573; 720W PoE budget is about 15W per port on average, which cannot run all 48 ports at full PoE++ power; stacking support is not confirmed in published sources; only 10G SFP+ uplinks, with no 25G option; best managed through UniFi OS or a UniFi controller, which limits use with non-UniFi environments
- Est. Price: $1,250 - $1,573
