Imagine a powerful Network hub that you don't hear. The USW-24-POE makes exactly that possible. Thanks to its well-thought-out passive cooling concept, it operates completely without fans. The result: zero noise pollution. This makes it the first choice for use directly at the workplace, in conference rooms, doctor's offices, or your home theater. Finally, full Network power without annoying humming – focus on what really matters.
Central Management with the UniFi Network Controller
The USW-24-POE is a true team player in the Ubiquiti ecosystem. Once integrated, you can conveniently configure and monitor it via the central UniFi Network Application. Whether on a Cloud Key, a local server, or a Dream Machine – you have full control. Manage VLANs, set up Link Aggregation, and analyze traffic. This UniFi Switch works perfectly with other components such as UniFi Access Points or IP Cameras from the UniFi Protect series, creating a harmonious, easy-to-manage overall system.
Innovative Touch-Display for a Quick Overview
Forget cryptic LED lights. The USW-24-POE features a brilliant 1.3-inch Touch-LCM-Display directly on the front. With a simple touch, you get immediate insight into important system statistics. Check the current PoE utilization, view connection details, or receive alerts – all directly on the device. This feature saves valuable time during troubleshooting and gives you quick, visual feedback on the status of your Network.
Flexible Power Supply for your Network Devices
With 16 PoE+ Ports according to the 802.3at standard, this Ethernet Switch is a true powerhouse for your end devices. Connect IP Cameras, VoIP phones, or WiFi Access Points and power them directly via the network cable. The total PoE Budget of 95 Watts offers sufficient reserves for most SOHO (Small Office/Home Office) and SME applications. Intelligent PoE management ensures a stable and secure Power Supply for your connected devices.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Does the Ubiquiti USW-24-POE require a Cloud Key or software to function?
Yes, the UniFi Network Controller is required for configuration and management. This can be run for free on a local PC, a server, or dedicatedly on a Ubiquiti Cloud Key or a UniFi Dream Machine. The UniFi Switch itself does not have an integrated controller.
Is the USW-24-POE UniFi Switch loud?
No, the UniFi Switch is completely passively cooled due to its fanless design and is therefore completely silent during operation, making it ideal for office environments.
How many devices can I power with PoE?
The UniFi Switch features 16 ports (1-16) that support the PoE/PoE+ standard (802.3af/at). The total power consumption of all connected devices must not exceed the 95 Watt budget provided by the PoE Injectors / Power Supplies.
Can I also operate older Ubiquiti devices with 24V passive PoE with the USW-24-POE?
No, this second-generation (Gen2) UniFi Switch model exclusively supports the 802.3af/at standards and does not offer support for 24V passive PoE.
What is the difference between the USW-24-POE and the USW-Pro-24-POE?
The Pro UniFi Switch offers a significantly higher PoE budget (400W), PoE++ support, Layer-3 features, and faster 10G SFP+ Uplinks. The standard USW-24-POE is a pure Layer-2 UniFi Switch with 1G SFP / SFP\+ Modules and a 95W PoE budget.
How warm does the UniFi Switch get during operation?
Since the UniFi Switch is passively cooled, it can become noticeably warm under high PoE load. It is important to ensure adequate ventilation in the 19-Inch Racks or at the installation location and not to stack other devices directly on top of it.
