Ubiquiti UniFi USW-Pro-Max-24-PoE — 24-Port Multi-Gigabit Layer 3 PoE++ Switch (400W)

Your network is growing faster than ever — more cameras, more access points, more bandwidth-hungry devices demanding speed you simply can’t get from old Gigabit gear. The Ubiquiti UniFi USW-Pro-Max-24-PoE is the answer: a powerhouse 24-port, multi-gigabit Layer 3 switch with 400W of high-power PoE++, 10G SFP+ uplinks, and Ubiquiti’s stunning Etherlighting display. This is the backbone built for modern, high-performance networks — and the one your future devices will thank you for.

Multi-Gigabit Speed That Leaves Gigabit in the Dust

The world has moved past 1G, and so has this switch. It features eight 60W 2.5G PoE++ Ethernet ports, alongside 16 Gigabit Ethernet ports — eight delivering 60W and the other eight supporting 30W — for a total power budget of 400W, plus two SFP+ ports providing uplinks up to 10 Gb/s.

That multi-gig headroom matters. Your WiFi 6 and WiFi 7 access points, NVRs, and high-throughput workstations finally get the wired backbone they deserve, with no artificial 1G ceiling holding them back.

• 8 × 2.5GbE PoE++ ports for next-gen access points and high-bandwidth devices
• 16 × Gigabit ports with generous per-port power
• 2 × 10G SFP+ uplinks for blazing-fast backbone connections
• 112 Gb/s switching capacity (56 Gb/s non-blocking) for smooth, low-latency data transfers

Power Everything — With Room to Spare

PoE++ changes what a single cable can do. This switch provides up to 64W per port with a total of 400W PoE output, ideal for powering IP cameras, access points, and other network devices. From the smallest sensor to the most demanding PTZ camera or high-power WiFi 7 AP, this switch feeds them all from one tidy rack unit — no extra power bricks, no separate cabling.

Built-In Failover for Mission-Critical Uptime

Downtime isn’t an option for serious networks, and the Pro Max is ready. Connecting the DC backup power input to a compatible source provides failover support for added peace of mind, and it supports the UniFi SmartPower RPS system, enabling seamless failover if a local power supply fails. Keep your cameras recording and your network online even when the unexpected happens.

Etherlighting: A Switch You Can Actually Read at a Glance

Ubiquiti reinvented the front panel, and it’s genuinely useful — not just beautiful. Etherlighting technology illuminates each port to indicate port location, speed/link status, and native VLAN/network configuration when used with compatible cables, and a 1.3″ touchscreen display provides important status information at a glance.

No more squinting at cryptic LEDs or tracing cables blind. You can see exactly what every port is doing — speed, link, VLAN — the moment you walk up to the rack. Troubleshooting that once took minutes now takes seconds.

Enterprise Layer 3 Intelligence, UniFi Simplicity

This isn’t just a dumb switch with extra ports — it’s a full Layer 3 routing engine. It includes Inter-VLAN routing, static routing, and DHCP relay for advanced network management, and supports up to 1,000 VLANs, MAC-based ACLs, IP-based ACLs, port isolation, and QoS for secure, efficient data transmission.

Best of all, you manage every bit of it through the intuitive UniFi platform. Its settings are managed through the UniFi Network platform, giving you enterprise-grade control with the clean, approachable interface UniFi is famous for. Note: it’s managed with UniFi Network 8.0.24 and later.

Who Is the USW-Pro-Max-24-PoE For?

If you’re building or upgrading a network that has to keep pace with modern demands, this is your switch. It’s perfect for handling high-bandwidth demands while powering PoE+ and PoE++ devices like cameras, access points, and phones. Think growing businesses, multi-AP campuses, surveillance-heavy deployments, and serious home labs that have outgrown basic Gigabit gear.

• IT teams standardizing on multi-gig and high-power PoE
• Surveillance integrators powering large camera fleets with failover protection
• Power users and prosumers future-proofing a high-throughput network

The Bottom Line
