Curation Review
- ✔ Pros: 48x 1G data ports plus 4x 1G SFP uplinks in a compact 1RU chassis; Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching with IPv4/IPv6 routing; StackWise-80 stacking up to 8 members for scalable access layers; 104 Gbps switching capacity with 16,000 MAC entries and 4094 VLAN IDs; 2 GB DRAM and 4 GB flash with 9198-byte jumbo frame support; Cisco IOS XE with Cisco management and security feature set
- ✘ Cons: No PoE, so it cannot power IP phones, cameras, or access points; uplinks are limited to 1G, with no 10G uplink option on this model; full Layer 3 routing features depend on the license level, so Network Essentials may be limited versus Network Advantage; stacking requires a separate C9200L-STACK-KIT purchase; 125 W default power supply with no PoE headroom; the reseller pricing and forwarding-rate figures vary across sources, so verify with a current Cisco quote before purchase

Curation Review
- ✔ Pros: 760 Gbps switching capacity and 565 Mpps forwarding rate for aggregation duty; 28 x 10G SFP+ plus 4 x 25G SFP28 uplink ports; Layer 3 switching with Layer 2 features; DC input for redundant power backup; compact 1U rack form factor
- ✘ Cons: No PoE, so it can't power APs or cameras directly; no stacking listed; not in stock on Ubiquiti's US store (marked 'No restock date yet'); 100 W power draw is high for a non-PoE 1U switch; price is above many 10G-only alternatives
