- Backward compatible with Gigabit devices
High-Speed Uplink Flexibility
Dual SFP+ slots provide 10 Gigabit uplink capacity using either optical fiber for long-distance runs or DAC cables for short-reach, high-bandwidth connections to core switches or servers.
- Supports 10GBase-X fiber standards
- Enables scalable network backbone design
Deployment / Use Cases
This switch is ideally deployed as an access or distribution layer switch in medium to large office buildings, educational campuses, or hospitality environments where a high density of PoE devices and varied connection speeds are required.
Common deployment scenarios include powering and connecting a full floor of UniFi Wi-Fi 6 access points and IP phones, serving as the network backbone for a small to medium business with future expansion in mind, or acting as a distribution switch in a multi-building campus using fiber uplinks.
Enterprise Office Floor
Deploy as the primary switch for an office floor, providing PoE to 20+ devices including phones, access points, and security cameras, with 2.5GbE ready for high-performance workstations.
Education or Hospitality
Use in classrooms or hotel wings to deliver network access and power to multiple devices, with Layer 3 features enabling VLAN segmentation for different user groups or services.
Physical Profile
Housed in a durable galvanized cold-rolled steel (SGCC) chassis, the switch is built for rack-mount deployment in standard 19-inch racks. Its 1U height (1.72 inches) conserves valuable rack space, while the 17.42-inch width and 12.80-inch depth provide a compact footprint. The switch weighs 11.27 pounds, making it manageable for installation in server rooms, wiring closets, or network cabinets.
The physical profile is practical for deployment planning because the dimensions and weight are clearly defined: 1.72" (43.70 mm), 17.42" (442.40 mm), 12.80" (325 mm), 11.27 lb (5110 g). This helps confirm rack, shelf, desk, or cabinet fit before installation.

FAQ
What is the total PoE budget of this switch?
The Ubiquiti Switch Enterprise 24 PoE provides a total PoE budget of 400 watts. This budget is allocated across all 24 RJ-45 ports, which support both PoE (802.3af) and PoE+ (802.3at) standards, allowing you to power a significant number of devices like access points, IP phones, and cameras directly from the switch without needing separate power injectors.
How many 2.5GbE ports does this switch have?
This switch includes 12 dedicated ports that operate at 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet speeds with PoE+ capability. These ports are designed for connecting newer, higher-bandwidth devices such as modern Wi-Fi 6/6E access points, high-performance workstations, or network-attached storage, providing a speed upgrade over traditional Gigabit connections while maintaining PoE power delivery.
What are the uplink options available?
The switch features two SFP+ expansion slots that support 10 Gigabit Ethernet uplinks. These slots can be used with SFP+ optical transceivers for fiber optic connections to cover longer distances or with SFP+ direct-attach copper cables for short-range, high-speed links to core switches or servers, providing flexible backbone connectivity for your network.
Is this a Layer 2 or Layer 3 switch?
This is a Layer 3 managed switch. It supports advanced routing functions such as static routing and routing protocols, allowing for network segmentation, inter-VLAN routing, and more efficient traffic management. This makes it suitable for more complex network designs where routing between different subnets is required without needing a separate router.
What is the rack-mount size of this switch?
The switch has a 1U rack-mount form factor, with dimensions of 1.72 inches in height, 17.42 inches in width, and 12.80 inches in depth. It is designed to fit standard 19-inch equipment racks, making it ideal for installation in server rooms, network closets, or data centers where space optimization is important.
Does this switch support redundant power?
Yes, the Switch Enterprise 24 PoE supports redundant power supply configurations. This feature enhances reliability by allowing you to connect a secondary power supply, so if the primary unit fails, the switch can continue operating without interruption, which is critical for maintaining network uptime in business environments.
