Enterprise Campus Switch Core

Enterprise Campus Switch Core is a Layer 3 switch for a 19-inch rack, built as the core switch of a larger network, with QSFP28 ports and a touchscreen on the front.

Who it suits

Suits large organisations and campus networks where many switches in different rooms or buildings are gathered in one shared network room or server room. Its ports are made for links between switches and servers, so access points, cameras and computers sit on switches further out in the network. The ports need modules or DAC cables, and the power supplies and fan modules can be replaced while it runs. It is managed from UniFi Network, so the network needs a UniFi gateway or another host for the application.

Good to know

• MC-LAG requires pairing with a second Enterprise Campus Core switch.
• The QSFP28 ports (100G/40G) do not support breakout cables.
• For four-post racks. Two-post racks need a center-mount bracket or cantilever shelf for optimal support.

Notes	MC-LAG requires pairing with a second Enterprise Campus Core switch. The QSFP28 ports (100G/40G) do not support breakout cables. For four-post racks. Two-post racks need a center-mount bracket or cantilever shelf for optimal support.	Up to four switches can be stacked, and only switches with the same port count. A link aggregation can span the switches in a stack, with up to eight ports per LAG. Has no PoE output, so access points and other PoE devices need a PoE switch or a PoE injector. For four-post racks. Two-post racks need a center-mount bracket or cantilever shelf for optimal support.	The 1,050 W PoE budget is shared across the 24 PoE+++ ports (up to 90 W per port), so not every port can deliver full power at once. In redundant power mode, where one module can take over for the other, the budget is 450 W. For four-post racks. Two-post racks need a center-mount bracket or cantilever shelf for optimal support.	Supports PTP time synchronization (IEEE 1588 PTPv2) with hardware timestamping on all Ethernet and QSFP28 ports, as grandmaster, boundary clock or transparent clock. PTPv2 is not supported over aggregated ports. The SMA port takes a GPS signal for grandmaster clock mode. The GNSS antenna (UACC-GNSS-Antenna) is not included and is sold separately.

The 2,150 W PoE budget (at 200–240 V mains) is shared across the 48 PoE+++ ports (up to 90 W per port), so not every port can deliver full power at once. In redundant power mode, where one module can take over for the other, the budget is 950 W. For four-post racks. Two-post racks need a center-mount bracket or cantilever shelf for optimal support.
