Ubiquiti USW-ENT-24-POE | UniFi Enterprise 24 PoE | 62 Gbps Switch

A managed Layer 3 PoE+ switch with 24 copper ports and dual 10G SFP+ uplinks, suited to UniFi networks where Wi-Fi 6 access points and higher-bandwidth edge devices need dedicated multi-gig connections.

Why this one

• Twelve of the 24 ports run at 2.5GbE, which means Wi-Fi 6 access points can actually push traffic at the speeds their radios can generate rather than being bottlenecked at a gigabit.
• Two 10G SFP+ uplink ports give you headroom to connect to an aggregation switch or NAS without the uplink becoming the pinch point as port utilisation grows.
• PoE+ across the copper ports means you're running a single cable to each access point, camera or VoIP phone — no separate power run needed at the device end.
• Layer 3 management lets you route between VLANs at the switch rather than hairpinning traffic through your gateway, which matters once you're segmenting IoT, staff and guest traffic separately.

Good fit if you're deploying a UniFi network with multiple Wi-Fi 6 access points and need multi-gig edge ports, inter-VLAN routing, and enough PoE+ budget to power devices directly from the switch.

Worth considering something else if you only need gigabit edge ports and standard PoE — the USW-PRO-24-POE covers that case and sits in a lower price band — or if 24 ports is more than you need and the USW-ENT-8-POE would serve the site.

What you'll also need

A UniFi gateway or Dream Machine to manage the switch (the UDM-PRO or UDM-PRO-MAX suit this tier well), rack space and a patch panel or structured cabling run to each connected device, and SFP+ DAC cables or transceivers for the uplink ports if you're connecting to an aggregation switch such as the USW-PRO-AGGR.
