✔ 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: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.
