Overview
- The Ubiquiti USW-Pro-Max-24-PoE is a professional-grade managed switch purpose-built for scalable network deployments. With 24 ports across multiple speed tiers and 400W of available PoE power, it consolidates connectivity and device powering into a single rack-mounted unit, reducing cable complexity and infrastructure costs.
This switch excels in UniFi-managed environments, offering seamless integration with UniFi controllers, access points, and IP cameras. The combination of eight 2.5GbE PoE++ ports and dual 10G SFP+ uplinks provides flexible architecture options—enabling high-speed inter-switch links whilst delivering gigabit and multi-gigabit speeds to edge devices.
Etherlighting technology visually indicates port status, speed negotiation, and VLAN assignment at a glance, simplifying network troubleshooting and device location during installations and maintenance. Layer 3 routing capabilities support inter-VLAN communication without requiring a separate router, streamlining deployment in complex network topologies.

FAQs
What is Etherlighting and how does it benefit network administration?
Etherlighting is Ubiquiti's visual port identification technology that illuminates ports to show location, link status, negotiated speed, and VLAN assignment. This simplifies troubleshooting, reduces setup errors, and speeds up device identification in high-density deployments.
Can this switch power 24 devices simultaneously via PoE?
The switch provides 400W total PoE power. Actual device count depends on individual device power consumption. For example, standard access points typically draw 10–20W, allowing multiple devices to be powered simultaneously, whilst high-power devices may reduce the total count.
Is this switch compatible with UniFi controllers and management software?
Yes. The USW-Pro-Max-24-PoE is fully integrated into the UniFi ecosystem and can be managed through the UniFi controller software for centralised network administration, monitoring, and configuration.
What are the 10G SFP+ ports used for?
The two 10G SFP+ ports serve as high-speed uplinks, typically connecting to core network infrastructure, other switches, or servers. They support fibre or DAC (direct attach copper) connections for backbone bandwidth.
Does this switch support Layer 3 routing, or is it purely a Layer 2 switch?
This is a Layer 3 managed switch, meaning it supports inter-VLAN routing and advanced routing protocols. This allows VLANs to communicate without a separate router, reducing network complexity.
What does 'DC power backup ready' mean?
The switch is designed to accept an optional external DC backup power supply, allowing it to remain operational during AC mains failure. This requires a separate DC UPS module for full continuity.
What is the difference between PoE+, PoE++, and 2.5GbE PoE++?
PoE+ provides up to 30W, PoE++ provides up to 90W. The 2.5GbE PoE++ ports deliver both 2.5 Gigabit speeds and up to 90W of power, making them ideal for power-hungry or bandwidth-intensive devices.
Is rack mounting hardware included?
The switch is rack-mount ready. Refer to the installation guide for inclusion of mounting brackets or purchase separately if required.
