Ubiquiti UniFi Switch Pro Max 24 PoE (USW-Pro-Max-24-PoE)
A 24-port, Layer 3 Etherlighting switch capable of high-power PoE++ output. Every RJ45 port supplies PoE: eight 2.5 GbE ports and eight GbE ports at PoE++, and eight GbE ports at PoE+, from 400W of total PoE. Two 10G SFP+ uplinks, 112 Gbps switching capacity and a 1.3" touchscreen sit in a 1U rack-mount chassis that is DC power backup ready with the UniFi RPS. It is managed in UniFi Network 8.0.24 and later.
Quick Glance
Key Features
PoE on all 24 ports, 400W total
Sixteen ports deliver PoE++ at up to 60W per port (all eight 2.5 GbE ports and eight of the GbE ports) and the other eight GbE ports deliver PoE+ at up to 32W, from a shared 400W total PoE budget. The internal 550W AC/DC supply runs from 100–240V AC; maximum power consumption is 450W including PoE output.
2.5 GbE, 10G SFP+ uplinks and Layer 3
Eight 2.5 GbE and sixteen 1 GbE RJ45 ports plus two 10G SFP+ ports give 112 Gbps switching capacity, 56 Gbps non-blocking throughput and an 83 Mpps forwarding rate. Layer 3 features include a DHCP server and relay, inter-VLAN routing and up to 256 IPv4 static routes, plus Pro AV profiles for Dante, Q-SYS, NDI and more.
Etherlighting with DC power backup ready
Etherlighting ports illuminate to show port location, speed/link and native VLAN/network, and a 1.3" touchscreen sits on the front. A USP RPS DC input gives DC power backup with the UniFi RPS. The SGCC steel 1U chassis measures 442 x 325 x 44 mm and weighs 5.2 kg with mounting brackets.
Detailed Specifications
Specifications are from Ubiquiti's official technical specifications and store listing for the Switch Pro Max 24 PoE (USW-Pro-Max-24-PoE). Total PoE is shared across all PoE ports; per-port maximums apply within the 400W total.
Need-to-Know
- The 400W total PoE is shared across all 24 RJ45 ports: up to 60W per PoE++ port and up to 32W per PoE+ port, within that total.
- Of the sixteen GbE ports, eight are PoE+ and eight are PoE++; all eight 2.5 GbE ports are PoE++.
- DC power backup works with the UniFi RPS, connected through the switch's USP RPS DC input. The RPS is a separate Ubiquiti product.
- For optimal Etherlighting brightness Ubiquiti recommends pairing the switch with UniFi Etherlighting Patch Cables.
- Layer 3 features listed are DHCP server and relay, inter-VLAN routing and static routing (256 IPv4 static routes). Ubiquiti's specification lists no dynamic routing protocol for this switch.
- Ubiquiti rates the ambient operating temperature at -5 to 40° C. Plan rack cooling accordingly in UAE server rooms. Ubiquiti does not state the power cord plug type.

Frequently Asked Questions
Ubiquiti lists 400W of total PoE availability. Sixteen ports are PoE++ at up to 60W per port and eight are PoE+ at up to 32W per port, all drawing from that shared total.
Sixteen 1 GbE RJ45 ports (eight PoE+ and eight PoE++), eight 2.5 GbE RJ45 ports (all PoE++) and two 10G SFP+ ports that also run at 1G.
Besides its internal 100–240V AC power supply, the switch has a USP RPS DC input. Connected to the UniFi RPS, it can take DC power backup. Ubiquiti lists this as redundancy with the UniFi RPS, which is a separate product.
Yes. Ubiquiti lists Layer 3 with a DHCP server and DHCP relay, inter-VLAN routing and static routing for local networks, with up to 256 IPv4 static routes. No dynamic routing protocol is listed in Ubiquiti's specification.
