Ubiquiti UniFi USW 24 PoE — 24-Port Rack-Mount Layer 2 PoE Switch for Chicago

Ubiquiti UniFi USW 24 PoE

The Ubiquiti UniFi USW 24 PoE is the workhorse 1U rack-mount PoE switch — 24 Gigabit RJ45 ports under Layer 2 UniFi management, SFP fiber uplinks, the standard density that fits most commercial closet deployments. Nine times out of ten this is what lands in the IDF closet of a mid-size office or condo building.

What’s Confirmed by the Official Ubiquiti Spec

These specifications come from the techspecs.ui.com / store.ui.com published USW-24-PoE product page:

• Model: USW-24-PoE
• Form factor: 1U rack-mount
• Ports: 24 × Gigabit RJ45 (with PoE per Ubiquiti spec)
• Uplinks: SFP fiber uplinks (per Ubiquiti spec)

When the USW 24 PoE Fits — Standard Closet PoE Density

Pick the USW 24 PoE when:

• The closet needs the standard 24-port density with PoE
• The site has an existing 19” rack
• L2 management is sufficient (no need for L3 routing on the switch)
• 1 Gbps per port is enough (no multi-gig)

For 48-port density, see the USW 48 PoE. For 24-port multi-gig L3 with PoE++, step up to the USW Pro Max 24 PoE. For 16 ports fanless wall-mount, see the USW Lite 16 PoE.
