What is the switching performance of this model?

It delivers 176 Gbps switching capacity, 88 Gbps total non-blocking throughput, and 131 Mpps forwarding rate. With a 4 MB packet buffer and support for 1,000 VLANs plus 16,000 MAC addresses, it handles high-volume traffic efficiently in enterprise setups.

Does it support Layer 3 features?

Yes, as a Layer 3 switch, it includes inter-VLAN routing, static routing (up to 256 IPv4 static routes), DHCP server/relay, and 128 IPv4/MAC access lists. These enable local network routing without external dependencies, supporting up to 1,000 IPv4 routes and 4,000 ARP entries.

What are the physical dimensions and mounting options?

Dimensions are 442.4 x 285.4 x 43.7 mm (17.42 x 11.24 x 1.72 inches), weighing 4.09 kg with brackets. It is a 1U rackmount design with included hardware, fitting standard 19-inch racks for compact data center or wiring closet installations.

How is the switch powered and monitored?

Features two hot-swap internal 60W AC/DC power supplies with USP RPS DC input for redundancy. A 1.3-inch color touchscreen displays status information, and management requires UniFi Network Controller 5.12.9 or later for full configuration.

Is this switch suitable for AV or video networks?

Yes, it supports QoS with Pro AV profiles (e.g., Dante, NDI, AES67) and 131 Mpps forwarding for low-latency video traffic. The 48 GbE ports connect AV devices, while 10G SFP+ uplinks ensure high-bandwidth backbone performance without congestion.
