Eight ports, all 10G Unlike a typical access switch that offers a handful of 10G uplinks alongside dozens of Gigabit ports, every one of the Aggregation switch's 8 ports runs at 10G SFP+ speed. That makes it purpose-built for connecting multiple downstream switches, servers, or storage devices that each need a dedicated high-speed link back to the core, rather than for direct end-device connectivity.
176 Gbps of non-blocking capacity With a 160 Gbps switching capacity and 80 Gbps of non-blocking throughput, the Aggregation switch is designed so that all eight 10G ports can pass traffic simultaneously without internal contention. This matters in a core role, where the switch is often the single point that every other switch or server in the network depends on.
Fanless, silent operation Despite handling core-level traffic loads, the switch uses fanless cooling, which keeps it quiet enough for placement in a shared office rack or equipment closet rather than requiring a dedicated, noise-isolated server room.
Layer 2 features for a structured core LACP port aggregation, STP and RSTP, advanced IGMP configuration, VLAN support for up to 1,000 VLANs, and port mirroring give the Aggregation switch the management capabilities expected of a core device, letting it participate properly in a larger managed UniFi network topology rather than acting as a simple unmanaged fan-out point.

Simplifi Networks distributes UniFi networking equipment to businesses and network installers across Kenya, Uganda, and the wider East African region. The Aggregation switch fits into a larger UniFi network as the core device that ties together multiple access switches or servers over dedicated 10G links, rather than as a standalone access-layer switch.
