Ubiquity make some brilliant PoE switches (in fact, switches in general). This particular unit supplies up to 250 watts worth of 48V PoE goodness over 24 gigabit ports and also provides two gigabit SPF ports (no PoE). Note that this switch does NOT have SPF+ ports (for 10Gb connections, only the 48-port switches have that, but there's no reason why you can't bond a bunch of ports together via the Unifi controller to move more data if you have to). The switch is almost double the weight of the non-PoE version of this switch and about 100mm deeper as well, but beyond that looks and feels the same, though the rack ears are built-in while the non-PoE version has them optionally screwed on. The noise level is similar to the non-PoE version despite having extra fans, and whilst startup is a little noisy, it quickly settles down after boot. The display is quite simple - the ubiquitous blue square which tells you when it's happy, upgrading, or being located, the ports use the two LED's to indicate PoE active and connection speed, and the two SPF ports just have connection speed LED's. The back of the unit has an RJ45 console port and a standard IEC power connection for 110-240V operation. Adopting the switch into your Unifi controller is a snap as you'd expect, and the Unifi controller shows the per-port and total power consumption of the unit. PoE itself works as you'd expect, happily running the Ubiquity range of Unifi PoE access points and PoE security cameras without breaking a sweat. The switch also has the ability to power Ubiquity's proprietary 24V PoE devices as well as the industry standard 48V devices. In general data transfer, I have not experienced any sluggishness with this switch. It's fast, it's snappy and it looks cool to boot. In general management, assigning VLANs to ports is a snap via the Unifi controller. Provisioning changes is fast and simple. This is an enterprise grade switch without the enterprise grade price tag and I highly recommend it.Read full review
