Ubiquiti UniFi USW-Pro-24-PoE in Kenya – 24-Port Layer 3 PoE++ Managed Switch

The Ubiquiti UniFi USW-Pro-24-PoE, officially called the Pro 24 PoE, is a professional 24-port managed Layer 3 switch designed for business, enterprise, hospitality, surveillance, Wi-Fi and other demanding network deployments. It combines 24 Gigabit Ethernet ports, high-power PoE++, two 10G SFP+ uplinks and a substantial 400W PoE budget in a 1U rack-mountable chassis. 

Unlike the standard USW-24-PoE, every one of the 24 RJ45 ports on the Pro model can supply PoE: 16 ports support PoE+ and eight support higher-power PoE++. This makes the switch suitable for networks containing a mixture of UniFi access points, IP cameras, VoIP phones, access-control equipment and other compatible powered devices. 

The USW-Pro-24-PoE also provides Layer 3 switching, 10Gbps SFP+ uplinks and UniFi SmartPower Redundant Power System compatibility, making it a significant step above Ubiquiti's Standard 24 PoE for larger and more critical installations.

24 Gigabit Ethernet Ports

The USW-Pro-24-PoE provides:

24 × 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ45 ports.

All 24 ports can therefore provide Gigabit Ethernet connectivity.

A typical deployment might use:

USW-Pro-24-PoE

├── UniFi Access Point
├── UniFi Access Point
├── UniFi Access Point
├── IP Camera
├── IP Camera
├── VoIP Phone
├── Access-Control Device
├── Server / NAS
└── Other Ethernet Devices

This makes the switch suitable for centralized network distribution in medium and larger installations.

All 24 RJ45 Ports Support PoE

One major difference between the USW-Pro-24-PoE and Ubiquiti's lower-cost Standard 24 PoE is that all 24 RJ45 ports on the Pro model are PoE capable.

They are divided into:

16 × Gigabit PoE+ ports

and:

8 × Gigabit PoE++ ports. 

This provides considerably greater flexibility when the network contains many powered devices.

16 PoE+ Ports

Sixteen RJ45 ports support PoE+.

Ubiquiti specifies maximum PSE output of:

PoE – 15.4W

PoE+ – 30W per compatible port. 

These ports can be appropriate for many compatible:

• UniFi access points

• IP cameras

• VoIP phones

• wireless bridges

• IoT devices

• network controllers

The exact powered-device specification should always be checked.

8 High-Power PoE++ Ports

The other eight RJ45 ports support PoE++.

Ubiquiti specifies maximum PSE output of:

60W per PoE++ port. 

PoE++ is useful when a powered device requires more energy than ordinary PoE+ can provide.

Examples can include compatible high-power:

Access points

PTZ cameras

access-control systems

PoE-powered switches

and other higher-consumption Ethernet devices.

The presence of eight PoE++ ports makes the USW-Pro-24-PoE substantially more flexible than a PoE+-only switch.

400W Total PoE Budget

One of the strongest features of the USW-Pro-24-PoE is its:

400W Total PoE Availability

Ubiquiti's current specification confirms a 400W PoE budget. 

This is important because the number of PoE ports alone does not tell you how many devices the switch can power simultaneously.

The total power consumption of all connected devices must remain within the switch's available PoE budget.

Example PoE Budget Calculation

Consider an installation containing:

Equipment	Quantity	Max Consumption	Combined
Access Points	8	21W	168W
Cameras	8	10W	80W
VoIP Phones	4	7W	28W
Access Devices	2	20W	40W
Total	22 devices		316W

A 400W switch provides enough theoretical budget for this 316W maximum-load example, with additional headroom.

Actual equipment should always be calculated using the manufacturer's published maximum power requirements.

PoE Budget vs Per-Port Power

There are two separate limits to consider:

Per-Port Limit

A PoE++ port can provide up to 60W PSE output.

Total Switch Limit

All connected PoE devices share the switch's 400W total PoE availability.

For example, eight PoE++ ports theoretically capable of 60W each would equal:

8 × 60W = 480W

But the switch's total PoE availability is 400W, and other PoE+ ports may also be consuming power.

Therefore, per-port capability and total budget must both be considered.

Two 10G SFP+ Uplink Ports

The USW-Pro-24-PoE provides:

2 × 1/10Gbps SFP+ ports. 

This is a major upgrade over the Standard USW-24-PoE, which provides only two 1G SFP interfaces. 

The SFP+ ports can be used for:

10G fibre uplinks

10G DAC connections

switch-to-switch connections

aggregation switching

server/network backbone connections

and compatible gateway connections.

Why 10G SFP+ Matters

Imagine 20 Gigabit devices generating network traffic simultaneously.

If the switch had only a:

1Gbps uplink

then that uplink could become a major bottleneck.

With a:

10Gbps SFP+ uplink

the switch has considerably more upstream capacity.

For example:

Internet / Servers

↓

Gateway / Aggregation

↓

10G SFP+

↓

USW-Pro-24-PoE

↓

24 Gigabit Devices

The 10G uplink is particularly useful for internal LAN traffic, servers, storage, multiple access points and switch-to-switch communication.

88Gbps Switching Capacity

Ubiquiti specifies:

Switching Capacity: 88Gbps

Non-Blocking Throughput: 44Gbps

Forwarding Rate: 65 million packets per second. 

These figures describe the switch's internal packet-processing and switching capabilities.

They should not be confused with internet speed.

Installing an 88Gbps switching-capacity device does not give you an 88Gbps internet connection.

Layer 3 Switching

The USW-Pro-24-PoE supports Layer 3 functionality.

Ubiquiti currently lists:

DHCP Server for local networks

DHCP Relay

Inter-VLAN Routing

and:

Static Routing for local networks. 

This allows the switch to perform functions beyond conventional Layer 2 Ethernet switching.

Inter-VLAN Routing

A business could create separate VLANs such as:

VLAN 10 – Administration

VLAN 20 – Staff

VLAN 30 – Guest Wi-Fi

VLAN 40 – CCTV

VLAN 50 – VoIP

VLAN 60 – Network Management

The Pro 24 PoE can support inter-VLAN routing for local networks as part of a properly designed UniFi deployment. 

This can reduce unnecessary routing of local traffic through other network devices in appropriate architectures.

Up to 1,000 VLANs

Ubiquiti specifies support for:

1,000 VLANs

and a:

16,000-entry MAC address table. 

This provides substantial flexibility for segmented business, campus, hospitality and enterprise networks.

The switch also supports numerous network-isolation and access-control features.

Advanced Layer 2 Features

The USW-Pro-24-PoE currently supports features including:

LACP Port Aggregation

STP and RSTP

QoS using DSCP

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. 

These features make the switch appropriate for significantly more advanced networks than a basic unmanaged switch.

Pro AV Network Profiles

Ubiquiti's current firmware/specification also lists Pro AV Profiles for technologies including:

Dante

Q-SYS

NDI

SDVoE

Shure

AES67

Crestron

and others. 

This makes the Pro 24 PoE relevant not only for conventional IT networking but also for appropriately designed professional audiovisual networks.

Exact functionality depends on the current UniFi Network software version and the wider AV network design.

UniFi Network Management

The USW-Pro-24-PoE is managed through UniFi Network.

This provides centralized visibility and configuration for:

Switch ports

connected clients

VLANs

PoE settings

network topology

traffic

port profiles

and other network parameters.

Ubiquiti currently specifies UniFi Network 5.10.5 or later as the minimum application requirement for this model. 

In practice, current deployments should use a supported contemporary UniFi Network release.

1.3-Inch Touchscreen

The front of the USW-Pro-24-PoE includes a:

1.3-inch touchscreen LCM display. 

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

It also gives the switch the recognizable front-panel design used across this generation of UniFi professional networking equipment.

Redundant Power Support

The USW-Pro-24-PoE includes support for Ubiquiti's USP-RPS redundant power system through a dedicated DC input. 

The switch can therefore have:

Primary AC power

plus:

USP-RPS DC backup power

when deployed with compatible redundant-power infrastructure.

This is particularly useful for networks where switch availability is important.

Why Redundant Power Matters

Consider a switch powering:

Access points

CCTV cameras

VoIP phones

and:

access-control equipment.

If that switch loses power, all of those devices may go offline simultaneously.

Redundant power infrastructure can reduce the risk associated with a single internal or primary power-source failure.

It should still be combined with appropriate UPS and electrical design where protection against utility outages is required.

Internal 450W Power Supply

The USW-Pro-24-PoE contains an internal:

450W AC/DC power supply.

Ubiquiti specifies:

Maximum consumption excluding PoE output: 50W

and:

Maximum consumption including PoE output: 450W. 

The switch accepts:

100–240V AC at 50/60Hz.

Rack-Mountable 1U Design

The switch is designed for standard:

1U rack mounting.

Its dimensions are approximately:

442 × 285 × 44mm. 

Weight is approximately:

4.3kg without mounting brackets

and:

4.4kg with mounting brackets. 

This makes it appropriate for network cabinets and server racks in professional installations.

Operating Environment

Ubiquiti specifies an operating temperature of:

-5°C to 40°C

and operating humidity of:

10–90% non-condensing.

The enclosure is made from SGCC steel.

The switch is designed for protected indoor rack installations rather than exposed outdoor environments.

Ubiquiti USW-Pro-24-PoE for WiFi Networks

One of the strongest applications for this switch is centralized Wi-Fi infrastructure.

For example:

Fibre / Starlink

↓

Gateway

↓

10G SFP+

↓

USW-Pro-24-PoE

├── AP – Reception
├── AP – Boardroom
├── AP – Office 1
├── AP – Office 2
├── AP – Warehouse
├── AP – Conference Room
└── Additional Network Devices

The switch can provide both Ethernet connectivity and power to compatible access points.

USW-Pro-24-PoE for UniFi WiFi 6 Access Points

The switch can be useful with compatible UniFi WiFi 6 access points such as:

U6+

U6 Pro

U6 Mesh

U6 Long-Range

and other models whose PoE requirements fall within the switch's supported standards.

Because the switch has a large 400W PoE budget, it can support considerably larger AP deployments than lower-budget switches when the overall power calculation permits.

USW-Pro-24-PoE for WiFi 7

The switch can also power compatible WiFi 7 access points whose PoE requirements fit within PoE+ or PoE++.

However, there is an important limitation:

The RJ45 ports are Gigabit, not 2.5GbE.

Ubiquiti's current specification confirms that all 24 copper ports operate at up to 1Gbps.

This matters when pairing the switch with newer APs that have 2.5GbE uplinks.

Important Limitation for U7 Pro and Other Multi-Gigabit APs

A modern access point may have:

2.5GbE Ethernet

and require:

PoE+.

The USW-Pro-24-PoE may provide sufficient electrical power but its RJ45 interface will negotiate at no more than:

1Gbps.

Therefore:

Correct PoE power does not necessarily mean maximum Ethernet performance.

For a new multi-gigabit WiFi 7 deployment, a switch with 2.5GbE PoE ports—such as an appropriate Pro Max model—may be a better choice.

USW-Pro-24-PoE for CCTV

The 400W PoE budget makes the switch particularly attractive for IP surveillance networks.

For example:

USW-Pro-24-PoE

├── Camera 1
├── Camera 2
├── Camera 3
├── Camera 4
├── Camera 5
├── Camera 6
├── Camera 7
├── Camera 8
├── Access Point 1
└── Access Point 2

The switch can centralize power and network connectivity for multiple devices.

Actual camera compatibility depends on the PoE requirement of each model.

USW-Pro-24-PoE for UniFi Protect

The switch can be incorporated into a UniFi Protect deployment containing:

UniFi cameras

UniFi Network equipment

UniFi Protect recorder/gateway

and compatible network infrastructure.

Its PoE++ ports are particularly useful for compatible high-power devices.

The switch itself does not provide Protect video recording; recording requires appropriate UniFi Protect hardware.

USW-Pro-24-PoE for VoIP

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

For example:

USW-Pro-24-PoE

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

This eliminates individual phone power adapters where the phones support the switch's PoE standards.

USW-Pro-24-PoE for Access Control

The eight PoE++ ports make the switch relevant to compatible higher-power network devices, including some access-control applications.

A building network could combine:

Wi-Fi

CCTV

VoIP

door access

and conventional Ethernet endpoints on the same physical switch while using VLANs to logically separate their traffic.

The exact access-control equipment and power requirements should be verified before deployment.

USW-Pro-24-PoE for Hotels

Hotels can use the Pro 24 PoE to connect:

Guest-room APs

corridor APs

CCTV cameras

VoIP phones

conference equipment

access-control systems

and other Ethernet devices.

Its large PoE budget and 10G uplinks make it much better suited to high-density installations than entry-level PoE switches.

USW-Pro-24-PoE for Schools

A school network could use the switch for:

Classroom access points

administration APs

computer labs

CCTV cameras

VoIP phones

and access-control devices.

VLANs can then separate student, staff, administration, CCTV and management traffic.

USW-Pro-24-PoE for Offices

For a medium or large office:

Internet

↓

Firewall / Gateway

↓

10G SFP+

↓

USW-Pro-24-PoE

├── Access Points
├── CCTV Cameras
├── VoIP Phones
├── Workstations
├── Printers
├── Access Control
└── Servers / Other Switches

This provides a centralized managed network infrastructure.

Using USW-Pro-24-PoE with Starlink

The switch can be used downstream of Starlink.

For example:

Starlink

↓

Router / Gateway

↓

USW-Pro-24-PoE

├── UniFi AP
├── UniFi AP
├── Camera
├── Camera
└── Wired Devices

The switch does not increase Starlink's internet bandwidth.

Its main role is to distribute local Ethernet connectivity and PoE power.

Using USW-Pro-24-PoE with Fibre Internet

The switch is particularly well suited to fibre-based business networks.

A possible architecture is:

Fibre ONT

↓

Firewall / Router

↓

10G Connection

↓

USW-Pro-24-PoE

↓

Access Points + Cameras + PCs + Phones

Its 10G SFP+ uplinks can help prevent the switch uplink from becoming a bottleneck in high-traffic LAN environments.

The RJ45 access ports remain limited to 1Gbps each.

Using USW-Pro-24-PoE with MikroTik

A UniFi switch does not require a UniFi router.

You can use:

Internet

↓

MikroTik Router

↓

10G SFP+ / Gigabit Ethernet

↓

USW-Pro-24-PoE

↓

UniFi APs and Other Devices

MikroTik can handle routing and firewall functions while UniFi handles switching and wireless infrastructure.

VLANs and trunk configurations must be designed consistently across both platforms.

Using USW-Pro-24-PoE with TP-Link

The same principle applies to TP-Link routers and other upstream networking equipment.

A network can use:

TP-Link Router

↓

USW-Pro-24-PoE

↓

UniFi APs / Cameras / Other Devices

The router brand does not determine whether the switch can supply PoE to compatible downstream equipment.

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

This is one of the most useful comparisons for buyers.

Feature	USW-24-PoE	USW-Pro-24-PoE
RJ45 Ports	24 × 1GbE	24 × 1GbE
PoE+ Ports	16	16
PoE++ Ports	0	8
Total PoE Ports	16	24
PoE Budget	95W	400W
Uplinks	2 × 1G SFP	2 × 10G SFP+
Switching Capacity	52Gbps	88Gbps
Non-Blocking Throughput	26Gbps	44Gbps
Forwarding Rate	39 Mpps	65 Mpps
Layer 3	No full Pro L3 feature set	Yes
RPS Support	No	Yes
Rackmount	1U	1U

The difference is substantial. 

Why Choose Pro 24 PoE Instead of Standard 24 PoE?

The Standard model is suitable when you need:

basic Gigabit PoE+ switching

with moderate power requirements.

The Pro model becomes much more attractive when you need:

all 24 ports powered

PoE++

400W PoE budget

10G SFP+ uplinks

Layer 3 switching

or redundant-power capability.

For large AP and CCTV deployments, these differences can be decisive.

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

Do not confuse:

USW-Pro-24-PoE

with:

USW-Pro-24.

The non-PoE Pro 24 has the same basic:

24 × Gigabit RJ45

2 × 10G SFP+

Layer 3

and RPS-oriented professional architecture, but it does not provide PoE output. 

For APs and cameras, the PoE model is usually the more appropriate choice unless separate power infrastructure is already available.

USW-Pro-24-PoE vs Legacy US-24-250W

The older US-24-250W remains common in existing installations.

Feature	US-24-250W	USW-Pro-24-PoE
RJ45 Ports	24 × 1GbE	24 × 1GbE
PoE Ports	24	24
Max PoE	PoE+	PoE++
PoE Budget	250W	400W
Uplinks	2 × 1G SFP	2 × 10G SFP+
Layer 3	No Pro L3	Yes
Touchscreen	No	Yes
RPS	Different/legacy architecture	USP-RPS input

The Pro model provides a substantially more modern switching platform.

USW-Pro-24-PoE vs Pro Max 24 PoE

For a completely new high-performance deployment, the newer Pro Max family is also worth considering.

The key limitation of the USW-Pro-24-PoE is:

all 24 RJ45 ports are limited to 1GbE.

The Pro Max 24 PoE adds 2.5GbE access ports while retaining high-power PoE capabilities.

Therefore:

Pro 24 PoE → strong choice for Gigabit PoE networks

while:

Pro Max 24 PoE → stronger choice for multi-gigabit WiFi 6/7 networks.

This is particularly relevant when deploying access points with 2.5GbE uplinks.

Advantages of Ubiquiti USW-Pro-24-PoE

The USW-Pro-24-PoE combines a very strong set of capabilities in a single rack-mounted switch: 24 powered Gigabit ports, eight PoE++ ports, a 400W total PoE budget, dual 10G SFP+ uplinks, Layer 3 functionality and redundant-power support. 

This makes it particularly suitable for mixed networks where APs, cameras, phones and other PoE equipment all need to be powered from the same switch.

The UniFi management platform also allows the switch to integrate into a broader UniFi deployment instead of operating as an isolated network component.

Limitations of Ubiquiti USW-Pro-24-PoE

The biggest limitation for new high-performance deployments is the absence of 2.5GbE RJ45 ports. All 24 copper interfaces are limited to 1Gbps. 

That is not a major problem for cameras, VoIP phones and many conventional access points, but it can restrict the wired uplink of newer multi-gigabit WiFi access points.

The switch is also considerably more powerful than many small networks need. If you only need a few PoE+ devices and do not require PoE++, Layer 3, 10G uplinks or a 400W budget, a smaller UniFi switch may be more economical.

Who Should Buy the USW-Pro-24-PoE?

The switch is particularly well suited to:

• Medium and large offices

• Hotels and hospitality networks

• Schools and universities

• CCTV and surveillance installations

• High-density UniFi Wi-Fi networks

• VoIP deployments

• Access-control networks

• Professional AV networks

• WISPs and network integrators

• Networks requiring 10G uplinks

• Businesses requiring high PoE capacity

For new WiFi 7 deployments where multi-gigabit Ethernet is a priority, compare it carefully with Ubiquiti's newer multi-gigabit PoE switch options.

Ubiquiti USW-Pro-24-PoE Price

Why Buy Ubiquiti USW-Pro-24-PoE from Orbitlink Solutions?

Choosing a professional PoE switch requires more than simply counting Ethernet ports. A correct design should calculate the number of powered devices, each device's maximum consumption, the required PoE class and the total PoE budget needed for the entire installation.

The USW-Pro-24-PoE is particularly strong where high PoE capacity and 10G uplinks are required but Gigabit access ports remain sufficient. Its 400W PoE budget is more than four times the 95W available on the Standard USW-24-PoE, while its eight PoE++ ports can support compatible higher-powered equipment.

Orbitlink Solutions can help match the switch with appropriate UniFi access points, cameras, SFP+ modules, DAC cables, Ethernet cabling, gateways, UPS equipment and other network components according to the required deployment.

Watch the Ubiquiti USW-Pro-24-PoE Video

The USW-Pro-24-PoE is best understood as a high-power Gigabit access switch with a fast 10G backbone. Each RJ45 endpoint is limited to 1Gbps, but the dual 10G SFP+ interfaces provide significantly greater capacity for upstream aggregation, servers or switch-to-switch links. This architecture works particularly well when many Gigabit APs, cameras, phones and other endpoints need to share a high-capacity network backbone.

Its 400W PoE budget is one of the main reasons to choose the Pro model over the Standard 24 PoE. The difference is not simply eight additional powered ports. The Pro switch supports higher-power PoE++, provides more than four times the total PoE availability, adds 10G SFP+ connectivity and introduces Layer 3 and redundant-power capabilities.

For new deployments, however, the access-port speed deserves careful consideration. The USW-Pro-24-PoE remains a powerful choice for Gigabit networks, but newer WiFi 6 and WiFi 7 installations can include APs with 2.5GbE uplinks. If maximizing multi-gigabit AP performance is part of the project, compare the Pro 24 PoE with newer UniFi Pro Max or other multi-gigabit PoE switches before purchasing.
