Ubiquiti UniFi Switch Pro 24 PoE

The Ubiquiti UniFi Switch Pro 24 PoE (USW-Pro-24-POE) is designed as a powerful access and aggregation switch for professional networks that demand flexibility, high power delivery, and future-proof connectivity. It features 24 Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 ports, supporting 1G, 100M, and 10M speeds, making it ideal for mixed environments with legacy and modern devices. Of these ports, 16 provide PoE+ for standard powered devices, while 8 deliver PoE++, capable of supporting high-demand hardware such as advanced Wi-Fi access points, PTZ cameras, LED panels, and AV equipment. To extend network performance beyond copper, the switch includes two 10G SFP+ ports, supporting both 10G and 1G uplinks. These high-speed fiber connections are ideal for backbone links, server connections, or inter-switch aggregation, ensuring low latency and high throughput in enterprise topologies.

Power delivery is one of the key strengths of this model. With support for PoE, PoE+, and PoE++, each port can supply up to 64W, while the switch offers a massive total PoE budget of 400W. This allows administrators to power a wide range of devices directly from the switch without relying on external injectors or power adapters. Housed in a 1U rack-mountable chassis, the USW-Pro-24-POE integrates seamlessly into standard racks, supporting rack depths from 400 to 1200 mm. Its layout and port density make it an excellent choice for enterprise wiring closets, campus deployments, and professional AV installations where clean, centralized power and connectivity are essential.

Built for demanding environments, the UniFi Switch Pro 24 PoE delivers exceptional switching performance backed by enterprise-class hardware. It offers a switching capacity of 88 Gbps, with 44 Gbps of total non-blocking throughput, ensuring simultaneous full-speed communication across all ports. A forwarding rate of 65 million packets per second (Mpps) enables the switch to handle high traffic loads with minimal latency, even in data-intensive networks. The switch supports up to 1,000 VLANs, providing extensive segmentation capabilities for multi-tenant, departmental, or security-focused designs. A MAC address table of 16,000 entries ensures reliable device tracking, while a 2 MB packet buffer helps prevent packet loss during traffic bursts. Advanced access control is supported through IPv4 and MAC-based ACLs, each with capacity for 128 rules, allowing precise enforcement of network policies.

At Layer 3, the USW-Pro-24-POE enables efficient routing within local networks. Supported features include a DHCP server, DHCP relay, inter-VLAN routing, and static routing, reducing dependency on external routers for internal traffic flows. The Layer 3 table supports 768 ARP entries and 64 IPv4 routes, making it well suited for growing enterprise environments. Layer 2 capabilities are equally comprehensive. The switch supports LACP port aggregation, STP and RSTP, DSCP-based QoS, and advanced IGMP configuration, including querier, fast leave, and router port functionality. Professional AV environments benefit from built-in Pro AV profiles for platforms such as Dante, NDI, Q-SYS, SDVoE, and AES67, ensuring optimized multicast handling and predictable performance for real-time media traffic.

The UniFi Switch Pro 24 PoE is engineered for reliability, efficient power management, and seamless administration in professional environments. It features an internal 450W AC/DC power supply with universal 100–240V AC input, ensuring stable operation across global deployments. For enhanced resilience, the switch supports DC power backup via USP RPS, providing redundancy for mission-critical installations. Power efficiency is carefully balanced with performance. The switch consumes up to 50W excluding PoE output, while maximum total power consumption reaches 450W when PoE is fully utilized. Heat output is managed at 170.6 BTU/hr (excluding PoE), allowing predictable thermal planning in enclosed racks. Management is handled through Ethernet and UniFi Network, requiring UniFi Network software version 5.10.5 or later.

A built-in 1.3-inch touchscreen LCM display provides real-time status information, simplifying on-site monitoring and troubleshooting without additional tools. The enclosure is constructed from durable SGCC steel, offering long-term mechanical stability. The switch operates reliably in ambient temperatures from -5 to 40°C, with 10–90% non-condensing humidity, making it suitable for a wide range of deployment environments. Comprehensive ESD protection (±16kV air, ±12kV contact) safeguards internal components against electrical discharge. The USW-Pro-24-POE is fully NDAA compliant and certified under CE, FCC, IC, and Anatel, ensuring regulatory compliance for enterprise and government deployments. These attributes make it a dependable foundation for scalable, secure, and professionally managed UniFi networks.
