The Ubiquiti USW-24-POE UniFi is a 24-port managed Gigabit switch designed for small office and enterprise networks that need both wired connectivity and power delivery to networked devices. It combines 16 PoE+ ports with 8 standard Gigabit ports and dual SFP fiber uplinks in a compact fanless chassis, managed through Ubiquiti's UniFi controller software.
Why This Product
-
16 PoE+ ports deliver power and data
— Sixteen ports support 802.3at PoE+, letting you power cameras, access points, phones and other devices without separate power supplies. Total PoE availability is 95W across all ports.
-
Fanless design runs silent
— No moving parts means no cooling noise, making it suitable for offices and other quiet spaces. It dissipates heat passively in a compact 1U form factor.
-
Fiber uplinks for longer distances
— Two 1G SFP ports provide Gigabit fiber connectivity, letting you extend your network to distant buildings or add redundant backbone links without copper distance limits.
-
52 Gbps switching capacity
— The switch handles up to 52 Gbps of simultaneous traffic, with a 26 Gbps non-blocking throughput and 39 Mpps forwarding rate for smooth network operation under load.
-
UniFi controller management
— Configure and monitor the switch through Ubiquiti's UniFi Network Controller software, which runs on-premises or in the cloud, with mobile app support included.

Compatibility
-
✓ Works with any 802.3af or 802.3at PoE-enabled device: IP cameras, UniFi access points, VoIP phones, access controls and other standard PoE equipment.
-
✓ Integrates with Ubiquiti UniFi ecosystem; managed through UniFi Network Controller software (cloud or self-hosted) and the UniFi mobile app.
-
✓ Fits standard 19" networking racks as a 1U unit; rackmount brackets are included.
-
✓ Connects to standard Gigabit Ethernet (RJ45) devices and single-mode or multimode 1G SFP modules for fiber links.
-
Note: Requires UniFi Network Controller (separate software or appliance) for advanced management; basic layer 2 switching works without it, but full feature access needs the controller.
Best For / Trade-offs
Best for:
-
Small offices and remote sites needing to power and connect cameras, access points and phones from one switch without running extra power cables.
-
Networks requiring silent, fanless operation in noise-sensitive spaces such as offices, conference rooms or education facilities.
-
Ubiquiti UniFi deployments where centralized management through the UniFi Controller ecosystem is already in place.
-
Deployments requiring fiber backbone links or uplinks to distant switches using the dual SFP ports for longer runs.
Trade-offs:
-
High-density PoE environments.
At 95W total PoE budget, it cannot power 16 devices simultaneously if they each draw close to their maximum. Plan around this limit when connecting many power-hungry cameras or access points.
-
Networks needing more than 24 ports.
This switch has a fixed port count; larger networks will need additional switches or a higher-port-count model.
-
Environments without UniFi infrastructure.
While it functions as a basic unmanaged switch, the USW-24-POE's advanced features (VLANs, ACLs, port mirroring, aggregation) require UniFi Network Controller software.
-
10 Gigabit or higher-speed requirements.
All ports are Gigabit (1G); it does not support 10GbE connections.
Description
The USW-24-POE is a configurable Gigabit Layer 2 switch with twenty-four Gigabit Ethernet ports including sixteen auto-sensing 802.3at PoE+ ports, and two SFP ports.
It provides Gigabit PoE links to your RJ45 Ethernet devices and Gigabit fiber uplink options to your enterprise network.
The USW-24-POE features a 1.3" touch LCM to provide status information.
With a depth of 7.9", the compact fanless design can be easily installed in a SOHO rack cabinet.
Managed and configured by the UniFi Network Controller with UniFi mobile app support, the USW-24-POE offers an extensive suite of advanced Layer 2 switching protocols and features, including operation mode (switching, mirroring, or aggregate) per port.
