Ubiquity makes some great hardware with a polished Apple look and their prices are very competitive. The UWS-Enterprise-48-PoE is a 1U switch and the only one in the current lineup to provide a total of 52 ports w/ 48 of them @ 2.5Gb and 4 of them @ 10Gb (SFP+).The best thing about this layer 2 switch is that each of the 48 ports is not only 2.5Gb speed but also PoE+ with a total aggregated PoE capacity of 700W. Great for the new WiFi 6E Access Points that need 2.5Gb per port. The switch also supports Ubiquiti's proprietary redundant power system as well as a locking system for a standard power cord.Like all UniFi gear, adoption is a breeze via bluetooth from their Network App, or from the cloud console, provided you are running the Network App on your own ... MoreUbiquity makes some great hardware with a polished Apple look and their prices are very competitive.

The switch also supports Ubiquiti's proprietary redundant power system as well as a locking system for a standard power cord.Like all UniFi gear, adoption is a breeze via bluetooth from their Network App, or from the cloud console, provided you are running the Network App on your own server (it's free) or on one of their appliances (UDR, UDM-Pro or UDM-SE).For cooling the switch has 3 small fans in the center back. Upon power-up, the switch is surprisingly quiet, unlike Cisco switches that push the fans to maximum. Also unlike Cisco and most others, the price is very reasonable. Per-port speed and PoE controls, diagnostics via Network App, LACP and other advanced networking features round off this great offering. The only challenge with this switch is finding one in stock.

This switch is working great with my devices and with my current setup. You still need the UniFi controller to manage the device or any UniFi devices. The software is not yet solid, so there will be times when something breaks due to an update on either the controller or firmware; you will have to do some tinkering within the console with the SSH command and, sometimes you will have to reset and restore from a backup. But for the price compared to other major leagues, it's affordable. It all comes down to what is more important to you, time fixing the devices, or the cost of the devices.
