The
USW-Pro-Max-24-PoE (Pro Max 24 PoE) is a
1U rack-mount Layer 3 Etherlighting™ managed switch engineered for high-power PoE++ delivery, multi-gigabit 2.5 GbE switching, and advanced AV and enterprise networking in East Africa's most demanding environments. Measuring
442 × 325 × 44 mm (17.4 × 12.8 × 1.7") and weighing
5.1 kg (11.3 lb) without or 5.2 kg (11.5 lb) with mounting brackets, the USW-Pro-Max-24-PoE features an
SGCC steel enclosure and mount, a
1.3" touchscreen LCM display, and supports rack depths of
400–1,200 mm (15.7–47.2").
DC power backup readiness via USP RPS DC input ensures continued switching and PoE operation during power interruptions — critical for mission-critical East African deployments. Requires
UniFi Network version 8.0.24 and later.
The
USW-Pro-Max-24-PoE delivers an industry-leading
400W total PoE availability across
(8) 2.5 GbE PoE++ ports and (8) GbE PoE++ ports at up to 64W per port, and (8) GbE PoE+ ports at up to 32W per port — supporting the full PoE++ power requirements of UniFi U7 and E7 access points, high-power IP cameras, pan-tilt-zoom cameras, digital signage displays, and industrial IoT devices simultaneously.
Dual 10G SFP+ uplinks ensure high-speed uplink capacity.
Switching capacity of 112 Gbps with 56 Gbps non-blocking throughput and 83 Mpps forwarding rate delivers wire-speed performance across all 26 ports.
Etherlighting™ on all Ethernet and SFP+ ports provides visual port identification — pair with
UniFi Etherlighting Patch Cables for optimal brightness.
