Curation Review

• ✔ Pros: Multigig 1/2.5/5/10GbE access with PoE-bt (802.3bt) on 24MP/48MP/48MXP for Wi-Fi 6/6E/7 AP backhaul; High switching capacity of up to 1020 Gbps bidirectional on the 48MP/48MXP; 2x 100GbE QSFP28 uplinks on most fixed models; Junos OS with Virtual Chassis and EVPN-VXLAN fabric support; Compact 1U form factor with 112,000-entry MAC table; Modular 48F and 24MP models accept 4x25G SFP28 extension module; Wide range of AC and DC PSU options for redundancy
• ✘ Cons: Total PoE budget is not clearly stated on the official hardware page and single-PSU figures vary across sources; Forwarding rate (Mpps) is confirmed only for the 48MP and 48MXP; Premium pricing relative to lower-cost access switches; Multigig and PoE models with extension-module slots need extra cost for uplink expansion; Some port configurations (24P, 48P) show conflicting port descriptions in datasheets; Requires Junos licensing awareness for advanced L3 and fabric features; Several listings in the market are refurbished, so pricing and warranty vary
• Est. Price: $995 - $7,332

Curation Review

• ✔ Pros: Eight 2.5GbE PoE+ ports suit multi-gig Wi-Fi 6 access points and desktop devices; Layer 3 managed feature set at a low price for the class; 80 Gbps switching capacity and 59.52 Mpps forwarding rate cover small-office and branch loads; Two 10G SFP+ uplinks allow 10G backhaul or fiber links; Compact desktop form factor with wall-mount kit and LCM touchscreen for local status; 120W PoE budget is enough for several PoE+ access points or cameras
• ✘ Cons: Only 802.3af/at PoE+ (max 32W per port), so it cannot power PoE++ devices such as Ubiquiti's U7/E7 access points; Product is listed as Vintage with no official successor named, so long-term availability and firmware support are uncertain; 120W total PoE budget limits how many high-draw devices can be powered at once; Only two SFP+ uplinks and no stacking support, which limits scaling; Price varies widely across resellers ($479 on Ubiquiti's US store, up to about $688 or more at third-party sellers)
• Est. Price: $479 - $688
