Curation Review

  • ✔ Pros: Twelve 2.5GbE PoE+ ports plus twelve 1GbE PoE+ ports for mixed multi-gigabit and legacy endpoints; Two 10GbE SFP+ uplinks; 400 W PoE budget suits several PoE+ access points or cameras; Quiet operation and solid build quality reported by users; Layer 3 feature set including IGMP snooping, STP/RSTP, LACP, 802.1X and port isolation; Competitive price for a 2.5GbE PoE+ L3 switch
  • ✘ Cons: Layer 3 routing is limited and mostly superficial, so full routing needs an external router; Limited dynamic routing support reported for the closely related USW-Pro-24-PoE, unverified for this model; Full feature set depends on the UniFi Controller; Stacking support is unconfirmed; Listed as Vintage on Ubiquiti's Japanese store, which may indicate legacy or discontinued status; Few in-depth independent reviews are available

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
