Ubiquiti USW-24-POE Switch in Kenya – UniFi Standard 24 PoE Managed Switch

The Ubiquiti USW-24-POE, officially named the UniFi Standard 24 PoE, is a rack-mountable managed Layer 2 switch designed for offices, schools, hotels, CCTV systems, Wi-Fi networks and other installations that need a combination of wired Gigabit connectivity and Power over Ethernet. Ubiquiti equips it with 24 Gigabit Ethernet ports, 16 PoE+ ports, two 1G SFP uplinks and a 95W total PoE budget. 

A key detail is that not all 24 RJ45 ports provide PoE. Ports 1–16 support IEEE 802.3af/at PoE+, while the remaining eight RJ45 ports provide Gigabit Ethernet data without PoE output. This makes the switch well suited to mixed networks containing both powered devices—such as access points, cameras and VoIP phones—and ordinary wired devices such as PCs, printers and servers.

The USW-24-POE is also fanless, making it attractive for offices and other environments where switch noise matters. Its 1U metal enclosure, integrated 120W power supply and 1.3-inch touchscreen provide a clean professional installation without requiring external power bricks.

24 Gigabit Ethernet Ports

The USW-24-POE provides:

24 × 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ45 Ethernet ports. 

All 24 ports can therefore provide Gigabit data connectivity.

A typical deployment might look like:

Router / Gateway

USW-24-POE

├── UniFi Access Point
├── UniFi Access Point
├── CCTV Camera
├── CCTV Camera
├── VoIP Phone
├── Desktop PC
├── Network Printer
└── NAS / Server

This makes the switch useful when one rack needs to support both PoE-powered and conventional Ethernet equipment.

16 PoE+ Ports

Of the 24 Gigabit ports:

Ports 1–16 provide PoE+.

Ubiquiti identifies these interfaces as IEEE 802.3af/at compatible.

The switch can therefore power compatible:

• UniFi access points

• IP cameras

• VoIP phones

• network devices

• access-control equipment

• other IEEE 802.3af/at powered devices

The exact power requirement of each device should still be checked before deployment.

8 Non-PoE Gigabit Ports

Ports 17–24 provide Gigabit Ethernet but do not supply PoE.

This distinction is important.

A switch advertised as having:

24 ports

does not necessarily have:

24 PoE ports.

For the USW-24-POE, the correct specification is:

24 Gigabit Ethernet ports

of which:

16 are PoE+ capable. 

The remaining eight ports are useful for routers, desktop computers, printers, servers, NVRs and other equipment that does not need power from the switch.

95W Total PoE Budget

The USW-24-POE provides:

95W Total PoE Availability

This is one of the most important specifications to understand.

Although there are 16 PoE+ ports, you cannot assume that all 16 ports can simultaneously deliver their individual maximum power.

All connected PoE equipment shares the 95W total budget.

Understanding the USW-24-POE PoE Budget

Consider an installation with:

Device	Quantity	Maximum Power	Combined
Access Points	4	13W	52W
Cameras	4	7W	28W
VoIP Phones	2	5W	10W
Total	10 devices		90W

The theoretical combined maximum would be:

90W

which is close to the switch's:

95W PoE budget.

In a real deployment, it is sensible to allow headroom rather than deliberately designing the network to operate continuously at the switch's absolute power ceiling.

Per-Port PoE Power vs Total PoE Budget

The USW-24-POE has two different power limits that should not be confused.

Ubiquiti currently specifies:

PoE: up to 15.4W PSE per port

and:

PoE+: up to 32W PSE per port. 

However, the entire switch has only:

95W total PoE availability.

For example:

16 ports × 32W = 512W

but the switch cannot supply 512W simultaneously.

The 95W overall PoE budget remains the limiting factor.

IEEE 802.3af and 802.3at PoE+

The USW-24-POE is designed around standards-based PoE rather than being a general-purpose passive-PoE switch.

Ubiquiti's documentation identifies ports 1–16 as:

PoE+ IEEE 802.3af/at.

This is important when upgrading from older Ubiquiti switches.

Some legacy Ubiquiti hardware also supported 24V passive PoE, but this capability should not automatically be assumed on the current USW-24-POE.

USW-24-POE Does Not Provide PoE++

The maximum PoE output class of the USW-24-POE is:

PoE+. 

It does not provide the higher-power PoE++ output available on switches such as the USW-Pro-24-PoE.

Therefore, if a powered device specifically requires:

802.3bt PoE++

the USW-24-POE is not the appropriate power source.

Two 1G SFP Uplink Ports

The USW-24-POE includes:

2 × 1Gbps SFP ports. 

These can be useful for:

Fibre connections

switch-to-switch uplinks

connections between network cabinets

and compatible SFP-based infrastructure.

The important limitation is that these are:

1G SFP

not:

10G SFP+.

SFP vs SFP+ on the USW-24-POE

This distinction matters when comparing Ubiquiti switch families.

The USW-24-POE provides:

2 × 1G SFP

while the higher-end USW-Pro-24-PoE provides:

2 × 10G SFP+.

For a conventional Gigabit network, the Standard model's SFP interfaces may be sufficient.

For networks that need a 10Gbps backbone, the Professional series becomes considerably more attractive.

52Gbps Switching Capacity

Ubiquiti specifies:

Switching Capacity: 52Gbps

Total Non-Blocking Throughput: 26Gbps

Forwarding Rate: 39 million packets per second. 

These specifications describe the switch's internal Ethernet switching performance.

They do not represent internet speed.

A 52Gbps switching capacity does not turn a 100Mbps, 500Mbps or 1Gbps internet connection into a faster WAN connection.

Fanless Cooling

One of the strongest practical features of the USW-24-POE is:

Fanless cooling

Ubiquiti currently describes the product as a 24-port Layer 2 PoE switch with a fanless cooling system. 

This makes the switch particularly attractive for:

Offices

meeting rooms

small server rooms

reception areas

home networks

and other environments where fan noise could be undesirable.

Important Fanless Installation Consideration

Because the switch relies on passive cooling, Ubiquiti specifically warns against stacking fanless switches directly on top of one another or placing equipment on top of the switch. 

Proper rack spacing and ventilation should therefore be considered during installation.

This is particularly important in warm network cabinets containing multiple switches, routers, UPS systems and other heat-producing equipment.

1U Rack-Mount Design

The USW-24-POE measures approximately:

442 × 200 × 44mm

and uses a:

1U rack-mount form factor. 

Its weight is approximately:

3.0kg without mounting brackets

and:

3.1kg with mounting brackets. 

The switch therefore fits naturally into standard network racks and cabinets.

Internal 120W Power Supply

The USW-24-POE contains an internal:

120W AC/DC power supply. 

This means there is no large external DC power brick to manage.

Ubiquiti specifies:

25W maximum switch consumption excluding PoE output

and:

120W maximum consumption including PoE output. 

The switch accepts universal:

100–240V AC, 50/60Hz input.

1.3-Inch Touchscreen

The front panel includes a:

1.3-inch touchscreen LCM display.

This provides local switch information and helps with device identification and status monitoring.

The touchscreen is particularly useful in racks containing multiple UniFi switches because technicians can identify and inspect equipment without relying entirely on port LEDs.

Layer 2 Managed Switching

The USW-24-POE is officially positioned as a:

Layer 2 PoE Switch

rather than a Layer 3 Pro-series switch. 

It still provides a substantial range of managed networking features through UniFi Network.

These make it significantly more capable than a simple unmanaged 24-port PoE switch.

VLAN Support

The current USW-24-POE supports up to:

1,000 VLANs. 

A business could therefore create networks such as:

VLAN 10 – Management

VLAN 20 – Staff

VLAN 30 – Guest Wi-Fi

VLAN 40 – CCTV

VLAN 50 – VoIP

VLAN 60 – Servers

This allows different types of traffic to be logically separated even when they share the same physical switch infrastructure.

Advanced Layer 2 Features

Ubiquiti's current software specification lists a broad range of managed features, including:

LACP Port Aggregation

STP and RSTP

IGMP Snooping

Advanced IGMP Configuration

802.1X Control

DHCP Snooping and Guarding

Port Isolation

Port Mirroring

Jumbo Frames

Voice VLAN

Loop Protection

Storm Control

Flow Control

MAC-based ACLs

and:

IP-based ACLs and Network Isolation.

This gives network administrators considerably more control than an unmanaged switch.

LACP Port Aggregation

The USW-24-POE supports LACP port aggregation. 

This can allow compatible network equipment to use multiple physical Ethernet links as a logical aggregated connection.

However, link aggregation should not be interpreted as automatically doubling the speed of every individual connection.

Its benefit depends on the equipment, traffic flows and network design.

STP and RSTP

The switch supports:

Spanning Tree Protocol (STP)

and:

Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP). 

These protocols help prevent Layer 2 switching loops in networks with redundant Ethernet paths.

This becomes increasingly important as networks grow and multiple switches are interconnected.

IGMP Snooping

The USW-24-POE supports:

IGMP Snooping

as well as advanced IGMP configuration.

These capabilities can be useful in networks carrying multicast traffic, including certain:

IPTV

video distribution

and other multicast applications.

Correct configuration still depends on the wider network architecture.

802.1X Network Access Control

Ubiquiti lists:

802.1X Control

among the switch's supported features. 

This can be useful in business and institutional environments where network access needs to be controlled according to authenticated devices or users.

It requires the rest of the authentication infrastructure to be configured appropriately.

Voice VLAN

The USW-24-POE also supports:

Voice VLAN. 

This can simplify deployments involving compatible VoIP phones by allowing voice traffic to be logically separated from ordinary user data.

A typical network could use:

VLAN 10 – Office PCs

and:

VLAN 20 – VoIP Phones

on the same switch infrastructure.

UniFi Network Management

The switch is managed through UniFi Network.

Ubiquiti's current specifications list:

UniFi Network 7.2.94 or later as the application requirement.

In a UniFi deployment, administrators can centrally manage:

Ports

VLANs

PoE

connected devices

network topology

port profiles

and other supported network settings.

For current deployments, use a currently supported UniFi Network release rather than deliberately installing the minimum historical version.

Ubiquiti USW-24-POE for Wi-Fi Networks

One of the primary uses of this switch is powering wireless access points.

For example:

Internet

↓

Gateway

↓

USW-24-POE

├── Access Point – Reception
├── Access Point – Office
├── Access Point – Boardroom
├── Access Point – Warehouse
├── Access Point – Meeting Room
└── Other Network Equipment

A single rack can therefore provide both Ethernet connectivity and centralized electrical power for compatible APs.

USW-24-POE for UniFi Access Points

The switch can power many UniFi access points that require compatible 802.3af or 802.3at PoE.

This may include appropriate models from UniFi's WiFi 5, WiFi 6 and WiFi 7 ranges, provided their individual PoE requirements fall within the switch's per-port capability and the combined devices remain within its 95W total budget.

Do not determine compatibility from the Ubiquiti brand alone. Check the exact AP specification.

Important Limitation for High-Density Wi-Fi

The 95W PoE budget becomes particularly important when many access points are connected.

For example, installing:

8 × APs at 20W maximum each

would produce a theoretical combined requirement of:

160W.

That exceeds the switch's:

95W total PoE availability.

Even though there may be enough physical PoE ports, there would not be enough total PoE budget for that theoretical load.

USW-24-POE and Multi-Gigabit Access Points

All RJ45 ports on the USW-24-POE are limited to:

1Gbps. 

This is important when deploying modern APs with:

2.5GbE Ethernet interfaces.

The switch may provide sufficient PoE power to a compatible AP while still limiting its wired network connection to:

1Gbps.

For a new high-performance multi-gigabit WiFi deployment, consider an appropriate UniFi switch with 2.5GbE PoE interfaces.

USW-24-POE for CCTV

The switch is also suitable for compatible IP surveillance cameras.

A network might use:

USW-24-POE

├── Camera 1
├── Camera 2
├── Camera 3
├── Camera 4
├── Camera 5
├── Access Point 1
├── Access Point 2
└── NVR

The cameras can receive power directly from the switch while the NVR connects through a normal Gigabit data port.

The combined camera and AP consumption must remain within the 95W PoE budget.

USW-24-POE for UniFi Protect

The switch can form part of a UniFi Protect deployment by providing network connectivity and PoE to compatible UniFi cameras.

A typical architecture could be:

Gateway / Protect Recorder

↓

USW-24-POE

├── UniFi Camera
├── UniFi Camera
├── UniFi Camera
├── UniFi Camera
└── UniFi Access Points

The USW-24-POE itself is a network switch; it does not replace the required UniFi Protect recording hardware.

USW-24-POE for VoIP Phones

Compatible PoE VoIP phones can also be powered from the switch.

For example:

USW-24-POE

├── Reception Phone
├── Accounts Phone
├── Sales Phone
├── Management Phone
└── Support Phone

Using PoE removes the need for a separate AC adapter at every phone location.

A UPS protecting the switch and upstream network can also help keep PoE phones operating during short power interruptions, subject to the UPS capacity.

USW-24-POE for Offices

A typical office installation could use:

Fibre / Starlink

↓

Router / Firewall

↓

USW-24-POE

├── UniFi AP – Reception
├── UniFi AP – Boardroom
├── UniFi AP – Office
├── CCTV Cameras
├── VoIP Phones
├── Desktop PCs
├── Printers
└── NAS

The switch's 24 Gigabit ports provide sufficient physical connectivity for many small and medium office networks.

USW-24-POE for Hotels

Hotels can use the switch for combinations of:

Guest Wi-Fi access points

CCTV cameras

VoIP phones

office equipment

reception networks

and other compatible Ethernet devices.

For larger hotels with many APs and cameras, however, the 95W PoE budget should be calculated carefully.

A higher-budget Pro switch may be more appropriate for dense installations.

USW-24-POE for Schools

Schools can use the switch to connect:

Classroom APs

administration APs

CCTV cameras

VoIP phones

printers

computer labs

and other Ethernet equipment.

VLANs can then help separate:

Students

Teachers

Administration

CCTV

and:

Guest Wi-Fi.

Using USW-24-POE with Starlink

The USW-24-POE can operate downstream of a Starlink connection.

For example:

Starlink

↓

Router / Gateway

↓

USW-24-POE

├── UniFi AP 1
├── UniFi AP 2
├── CCTV Cameras
├── VoIP Phones
└── Wired Devices

The switch distributes local Ethernet connectivity and power.

It does not increase the bandwidth provided by Starlink.

Using USW-24-POE with Fibre Internet

A fibre deployment could use:

Fibre ONT

↓

Router / Firewall

↓

USW-24-POE

↓

Access Points + Cameras + Phones + Computers

Because the switch's RJ45 and SFP interfaces are Gigabit, the relevant individual links are limited to 1Gbps.

For multi-gigabit internet or high-speed internal networks, a faster switch family may be preferable.

Using USW-24-POE with MikroTik

A UniFi switch does not require a UniFi router.

You can use:

Internet

↓

MikroTik Router

↓

USW-24-POE

↓

UniFi APs / Cameras / Other Devices

MikroTik can provide routing and firewall functions while the Ubiquiti switch provides managed Layer 2 switching and PoE.

VLANs must be configured consistently across the devices.

Using USW-24-POE with TP-Link

The same principle applies to TP-Link routers.

For example:

TP-Link Router

↓

USW-24-POE

↓

UniFi Access Points

The upstream router brand does not determine whether the USW-24-POE can power compatible downstream devices.

USW-24-POE vs USW-24

Do not confuse:

USW-24-POE

with:

USW-24.

Feature	USW-24	USW-24-POE
RJ45 Ports	24 × Gigabit	24 × Gigabit
SFP	2 × 1G	2 × 1G
PoE	No	Yes
PoE+ Ports	0	16
PoE Budget	0W	95W
Switching Capacity	52Gbps	52Gbps
Non-Blocking Throughput	26Gbps	26Gbps
Fanless	Yes	Yes
Rackmount	1U	1U

The underlying switching performance is very similar, but the USW-24-POE adds PoE+ capability for 16 ports. 

USW-24-POE vs USW-Pro-24-PoE

This is an important comparison for business buyers.

Feature	USW-24-POE	USW-Pro-24-PoE
RJ45 Ports	24 × 1GbE	24 × 1GbE
PoE+ Ports	16	16
PoE++ Ports	0	8
Total Powered Ports	16	24
PoE Budget	95W	400W
Uplinks	2 × 1G SFP	2 × 10G SFP+
Layer	Layer 2	Layer 3
Cooling	Fanless	Active/professional design
Best For	Standard networks	Higher-power networks

The Standard 24 PoE is more appropriate when 95W and 16 PoE+ ports are enough. The Pro model becomes attractive when the network needs substantially more power, PoE++, 10G uplinks or Layer 3 capabilities.

USW-24-POE vs Legacy US-24-250W

Another important distinction involves the older US-24-250W.

Feature	USW-24-POE	US-24-250W Gen1
Gigabit RJ45	24	24
PoE Ports	16	24
PoE Budget	95W	250W
SFP	2 × 1G	2 × 1G
Switching Capacity	52Gbps	52Gbps
Cooling	Fanless	Different legacy design
Touchscreen	Yes	No
Chassis Depth	200mm	285.4mm

The older US-24-250W actually has a much larger PoE budget and all 24 RJ45 ports support PoE+. Ubiquiti's current documentation lists a 250W total PoE budget for that Gen1 model.

This is why USW-24-POE should not be confused with US-24-250W.

Advantages of Ubiquiti USW-24-POE

The USW-24-POE provides a good balance for conventional business networks that need 24 Gigabit Ethernet ports but only a moderate number of PoE devices. Sixteen PoE+ ports can handle access points, cameras, phones and other compatible equipment while the remaining ports serve conventional Ethernet devices.

Its fanless design is another significant advantage. Unlike higher-powered switches that may require active cooling, the Standard 24 PoE can operate silently when installed according to Ubiquiti's ventilation requirements.

The UniFi management ecosystem, VLAN support, LACP, STP/RSTP, 802.1X, DHCP snooping, port isolation and other managed features also make it much more capable than an unmanaged 24-port PoE switch. 

Limitations of Ubiquiti USW-24-POE

The main limitation is the 95W PoE budget. Although 16 ports support PoE+, high-density deployments can exhaust the total power budget before all 16 ports are populated.

The second limitation is network speed. All RJ45 ports and both SFP uplinks are limited to 1Gbps, so there are no 2.5GbE access ports or 10G SFP+ uplinks. 

Finally, only 16 of the 24 RJ45 ports supply PoE, and the switch does not provide PoE++. Networks requiring more powered ports, higher per-device power or a larger overall PoE budget should consider a higher-tier UniFi switch.

Who Should Buy the USW-24-POE?

The USW-24-POE is particularly suitable for networks where Gigabit Ethernet, moderate PoE requirements, silent operation and centralized UniFi management are priorities.

It is a strong fit for small and medium offices, retail businesses, schools, home networks, small hotels, conventional CCTV deployments and Wi-Fi networks where the total powered-device requirement remains comfortably below 95W.

For dense camera deployments, large hotels, high-power PoE equipment or newer multi-gigabit WiFi installations, compare the Standard model with Pro, Pro Max and other higher-capacity UniFi switches before purchasing.

Ubiquiti USW-24-POE Price

Ubiquiti's U.S. store currently lists the USW-24-POE (95W) at US$379 before any applicable displayed surcharge. This is a manufacturer U.S.-store reference and not Orbitlink Solutions' Kenya selling price. 

Kenyan pricing can differ due to exchange rates, freight, taxes, supplier source, warranty arrangements and stock availability.

Contact Orbitlink Solutions for the current Ubiquiti USW-24-POE price and stock availability in Kenya.

Why Buy Ubiquiti USW-24-POE from Orbitlink Solutions?

The USW-24-POE is best suited to networks where the installer has confirmed that 16 powered ports and a 95W total PoE budget are sufficient. Simply seeing "24-port PoE switch" can be misleading because only 16 ports on this model provide PoE output. 

It is also important to consider future expansion. A network that currently uses four access points and four cameras may fit comfortably within 95W, but additional APs, cameras and VoIP equipment can eventually exceed the available power budget. Selecting the correct switch at the beginning can avoid an unnecessary replacement later.

Orbitlink Solutions can help match the USW-24-POE with suitable UniFi access points, cameras, SFP modules, fibre accessories, Ethernet cabling, routers, gateways and related networking equipment according to the deployment requirements.

Watch the Ubiquiti USW-24-POE Video

The USW-24-POE is fundamentally a standard Gigabit Layer 2 PoE switch rather than a high-power enterprise switch. Its strongest use case is a network that needs plenty of Ethernet ports but only a moderate amount of PoE. With 24 Gigabit ports, 16 PoE+ interfaces and 95W total PoE availability, it can comfortably support many conventional office, Wi-Fi, VoIP and surveillance deployments when the power calculation is performed correctly. 

Its fanless architecture is another important differentiator. High-powered PoE switches often require fans because of the heat produced by larger power supplies and PoE loads. Ubiquiti instead positions the USW-24-POE as a fanless switch, which can make it particularly attractive in offices and other noise-sensitive environments. Proper ventilation remains essential, and Ubiquiti specifically advises against stacking fanless switches directly on top of one another. 

The main purchasing decision is therefore whether 95W is enough for the planned network. If the installation requires 16 or fewer moderate-power PoE devices, Gigabit access speeds and 1G fibre uplinks, the USW-24-POE can be an efficient choice. If the project needs all 24 ports powered, PoE++, hundreds of watts of PoE capacity, 10G uplinks or multi-gigabit AP connections, a higher-tier UniFi switch is more appropriate.

Buy Ubiquiti USW-24-POE in Kenya

The Ubiquiti UniFi USW-24-POE is a strong choice for conventional Gigabit networks that need a combination of powered and non-powered Ethernet ports. Its 24 Gigabit RJ45 ports, 16 PoE+ interfaces, 95W PoE budget, dual 1G SFP uplinks and fanless design make it particularly suitable for offices, schools, shops, CCTV networks and medium-size UniFi Wi-Fi deployments. 

The main consideration before purchasing is the PoE calculation. Having 16 PoE+ ports does not mean the switch can supply maximum PoE+ power to all 16 simultaneously. If a planned deployment approaches or exceeds 95W, a higher-power UniFi switch should be considered.
