The Whisper-Quiet UniFi Switch for Your Professional Network
The USW-24-POE was designed from the ground up for use in modern work environments. Its biggest advantage is its absolutely silent operation. Thanks to the passive cooling concept without any fans, you can place this powerful Ethernet Switch directly in the office, in a practice, or even in the living room, without ever being disturbed by humming or noise. Expand your Network without affecting the acoustics of your room.
Central Management and Full Control with UniFi Network
As part of the UniFi Ecosystem, the USW-24-POE seamlessly integrates into the UniFi Network Application, a core component of Ubiquiti' management. Manage all your UniFi devices through a single, intuitive dashboard – whether on a Cloud Key, a server, or a Dream Machine. Configure VLANs, set up port aggregations, or monitor PoE utilization in real-time, from anywhere in the world with the UniFi Mobile App. Professional Network management has never been so simple and clear.
More Than Just a Switch: Touchscreen and Smart Features
A real highlight is the integrated 1.3-inch color touchscreen. It provides important system information at a glance, warns of errors, and displays current throughput and PoE utilization. This feature significantly simplifies on-site troubleshooting, as you don't need to connect a laptop first. This Network Switch with Touchscreen Management is ideal for quick diagnostics and gives your 19-Inch Racks a modern, professional look.
Thoughtful Design for Maximum Flexibility
With an installation depth of only 20 cm, the USW-24-POE is significantly more compact than many of its competitors. This makes it the perfect choice for small SOHO 19-Inch Racks or Enclosures where space is limited. Thanks to the included rackmount brackets, 1U mounting is a breeze, part of versatile Mounting Systems. Alternatively, you can simply place it on a desk. This UniFi 24 Port PoE fanless Switch adapts flexibly to your needs, a key component for any robust Network.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can the Ubiquiti USW-24-POE be operated without a UniFi Controller?
Yes, the UniFi Switch can be operated as a standalone, managed Ethernet Switch. However, to utilize its full range of functions, such as central configuration, monitoring, and advanced features, integration into a UniFi Network Application (Controller) – for example, on a Dream Machine, a Cloud Key, or a server – is strongly recommended for optimal Network management.
What is the power consumption of the USW-24-POE without connected PoE devices?
The maximum self-consumption of the UniFi Switch, without delivering PoE Injectors / Power Supplies, is stated by the manufacturer as 25 Watts.
Does the USW-24-POE also support older 24V passive PoE?
No, this model (as a Gen2 UniFi Switch) exclusively supports the standardized PoE protocols 802.3af and 802.3at. Older Ubiquiti Networks devices requiring 24V passive PoE cannot be directly powered by this Ethernet Switch.
Is the UniFi Switch noisy?
No, the USW-24-POE is completely fanless and therefore operates completely silently. This is one of its main advantages over many other PoE Injectors / Power Supplies in this port count, making it ideal for quiet Network environments.
What speed do the SFP-Ports have?
The two SFP / SFP\+ Modules ports are designed for uplinks with a speed of 1 Gbit/s. They do not support 10 Gbit/s (SFP+).
How many devices can I power with PoE?
The UniFi Switch has 16 ports that can deliver PoE+ (802.3at). However, the actual number of devices that can be powered depends on their individual power consumption. The total power of all connected devices must not exceed the PoE budget of 95 Watts, which is crucial for efficient Network management.
