Excellent

Excelente!

Mixed, but really only one con, and with proper sound absorption it probably isn’t even a con. Pros: 48 1GB ports and PoE! 4x 10G SFP+ ports. I polled in 10GBaseT RJ45, 2 Cat6as LACP to a Netgear ProSafe 10G switch. It routes (static only), it switches, VLANs, ACLs, LACPs, 802.1q all kinds of stuff. Cons: Fan curve is wonky. With one or zero ports plugged in, the fan span up and ran down constantly and fairly loudly with the network cabinet rack open. The Netgear has a loud boot cycle, but settles down to near silent.

I use this mainly to drive 15 8K POE Cameras, 4 POE AP drops. I already have 2 Cisco 550X 48 port switches, one of which is POE. I have no complaints as of yet about this switch other than it does not run as fast at recognizing and connecting new devices as the 550X series. I often have to reboot the switch for it to pick up new devices, I never had to do this with the 550X series. I recently moved and as such my network is in flux weekly with new devices being added, moved, etc. I guess if you do not have my situation and your network is stable as far as constant changes are concerned it is a great switch for the price. Having 700+ watts is a nice addition since the 550X POE I have is a 340 watt model. There is a increasing selection of POE devices over the last 2-3 years, as such the 700+ watts is important to have as opposed to a 340 watt model.
