✔ Pros:Full 2.5G multi-gigabit support on all 24 access ports; robust 60Gbps uplink capacity via 6x 10G SFP+ ports; fanless design for silent operation; native FortiLink integration for centralized management via FortiGate.
✘ Cons:Non-PoE model (requires FPOE variant for power); advanced L3 features like OSPF/BGP require a separate license; lacks hardware-based MC-LAG support found in higher-tier models.
✔ Pros:High-performance 2.5 GbE support on 8 ports; Etherlighting™ provides innovative visual status monitoring; Massive 400W PoE budget with PoE++ (60W) capability; Silent thermal design (~36 dB); DC power redundancy support via USP-RPS.
✘ Cons:Only 1/3 of RJ45 ports support multi-gigabit speeds; Premium pricing compared to standard UniFi Pro models; Optimal Etherlighting aesthetics require proprietary patch cables.
