Ubiquiti USW-ENTERPRISE-24-POE Managed Switch

Ubiquiti USW-ENTERPRISE-24-POE | High-Performance Managed Layer 3 Switch

The Ubiquiti USW-ENTERPRISE-24-POE network switch Managed L3 Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000) Power over Ethernet (PoE) Silver delivers enterprise-grade switching for modern networks, combining 24 PoE+ ports with advanced Layer 3 routing and 10G fiber uplinks. Built for demanding environments, it supports WiFi 6 access points with 2.5G PoE links while maintaining full Gigabit connectivity across all ports.

Powering WiFi 6 with 2.5G PoE+

This switch features 12 dedicated 2.5G RJ45 ports with PoE+, delivering the bandwidth and power required by WiFi 6 access points. Each port provides up to 34.2 W, ensuring reliable operation of high-performance wireless devices without external injectors. The remaining 12 Gigabit ports with PoE+ handle standard devices, while the 2 x 10G SFP+ ports provide fiber uplinks for backbone connectivity.

Enterprise-Grade Layer 3 Routing

As a fully managed Layer 3 switch, the USW-ENTERPRISE-24-POE supports advanced routing protocols including OSPF and BGP. With a switching capacity of 124 Gbit/s and forwarding rate of 92.25 Mpps, it handles demanding network traffic patterns. The 62 Gbit/s throughput ensures minimal packet loss even under heavy load, making it suitable for enterprise environments with multiple VLANs and complex routing requirements.

Built for Reliability and Easy Management

The rugged galvanized steel chassis includes a 1.3″ touchscreen for local configuration and monitoring. A single-row RJ45 port layout simplifies cable management and patch panel organization. The switch supports UniFi SmartPower Redundant Power System (USP-RPS), providing protection against internal PSU failure. LED indicators for activity, link status, and system health offer quick visual diagnostics.

Flexible Deployment Options

Rack-mountable with included hardware, the switch fits standard 19″ racks. Operating temperature range of -5 to 40 °C suits most indoor environments, while storage tolerance extends to 95 °C for shipping and warehousing. The 100-240 V AC input with 50-60 Hz compatibility ensures operation across UK and international power standards.
