Key Features

The USW-Pro-HD-24-PoE addresses the primary pain points of modern networking: speed, power, and visibility.

Multi-Gigabit Speed Across the Board - Forget the bottleneck of 1 GbE! This switch is built for high-throughput devices and is a major search driver for users looking to upgrade

With 22 x 2.5 GbE RJ45 Ports (PoE++) its more than ideal for connecting high-performance Wi-Fi 6/6E/7 access points, modern workstations, and high-resolution surveillance cameras.

Its 2 x 10 GbE RJ45 Ports (PoE++): Provides ultra-fast connections for critical servers or uplinks where massive bandwidth is needed.

The 4 x 10G SFP+ Ports: Offers flexible fiber uplink options to your core switch or router, ensuring a non-blocking throughput of 115 Gbps and a massive 230 Gbps switching capacity.

Unmatched Power Over Ethernet (PoE)The need for substantial power delivery is critical for contemporary network devices, and this switch delivers 600W Total PoE Availability, a generous power budget to run a full rack of high-power devices simultaneously.

Full PoE++ (802.3bt Type 3): All 24 RJ45 ports support the latest PoE++ standard, delivering up to 60W per port—perfect for power-hungry devices like next-gen UniFi Access Points.

The 'Etherlighting™' Advantage A visually innovative feature that drastically simplifies troubleshooting and management: Illuminated Ports: When used with compatible UniFi Etherlighting Patch Cables (sold separately), the ports illuminate to indicate port location, speed/link status, and native VLAN/network. This provides instant, at-a-glance network status. 

Intelligent Management & Reliability Advanced Layer 3 Functionality - The USW-Pro-HD-24-PoE is a Layer 3 Managed Switch, giving you powerful control over network traffic: Features include Inter-VLAN Routing, Static Routing, DHCP Server (for local networks), and extensive Layer 2 features like LACP (Link Aggregation), IGMP Snooping, and advanced QoS (DSCP). This is crucial for segmentation, traffic prioritization, and maintaining a robust, scalable network architecture.

Built-in Redundancy and Monitoring Reliability is a top concern for professional users: DC Power Backup Ready: It includes a USP RPS DC input port, allowing connection to the UniFi SmartPower RPS (sold separately) for seamless, redundant power should the main AC supply fail.

1.3" Touchscreen Display: The integrated LCM display provides real-time system status, including port statistics, PoE consumption, and switch errors, making local monitoring quick and easy.
