Curation Review

  • ✔ Pros: Layer 3 managed switch with 84 Gbps switching capacity; 4x 2.5GbE PoE++ ports for multi-gig access points or high-power devices; 180 W total PoE budget with 60 W per PoE++ port; supports 802.3af/at/bt PoE standards; 2x 10G SFP+ uplinks for fast aggregation; competitive US list price of $399 from Ubiquiti's store
  • ✘ Cons: 180 W total PoE budget can be exhausted quickly if many PoE++ devices are connected at full load; only 4 of 16 ports are multi-gig (2.5GbE), with the rest at 1GbE; uplinks are SFP+ only, so 10G copper uplinks need an additional module or adapter; advanced Layer 3 features depend on UniFi Network controller management; stacking support is not documented in the sources reviewed; regional pricing varies widely and resellers often charge more than Ubiquiti's list price
  • Est. Price: $399 - $487
