Ubiquiti USW-24 | UniFi Switch 24 | 26 Gbps Switch

A 24-port gigabit switch for small offices and server rooms that need managed switching without fan noise or PoE.

Why this one

• Fanless design draws a maximum of 25W and runs completely silent — useful in open-plan offices or AV rooms where fan noise matters.
• 26 Gbps non-blocking throughput across 24 GbE ports means nothing is queuing at the switch, even with all ports in active use simultaneously.
• Support for up to 1,000 VLANs lets you segment traffic — guest Wi-Fi, IoT devices, servers — without running separate physical infrastructure.
• Two SFP uplinks let you connect to an aggregation switch or run a fibre run to another floor, keeping the copper ports free for endpoints.

Good fit if you're building or expanding a UniFi network in a quiet environment — office, studio, or small comms room — and your devices don't need PoE at the switch level.

Worth considering something else if you need to power access points, cameras or phones directly from the switch — the USW-24-POE carries the same port count with PoE budget built in, and if you only need eight ports the USW-LITE-8-POE covers PoE at a smaller scale.

What you'll also need

A UniFi gateway or controller to manage the switch (a UCG-ULTRA or UDM-PRO will do it), a 1U rack space, and Cat5e or better to each endpoint — PoE injectors or a separate PoE switch if any connected devices need power over Ethernet.
