The Ubiquiti UniFi ECS-24-PoE (Part Number: ECS-24-PoE) is a high-performance Layer 3 managed switch that delivers enterprise-class networking capabilities in a 24-port configuration. Designed for scalability, speed, and intelligent control, the ECS-24-PoE includes 16× 10 Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 ports and 8× 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 ports—all with PoE+++ support—along with 2× 25G SFP28 uplink ports for high-speed fiber backhaul and network aggregation.
Ideal for medium to large-sized businesses, the ECS-24-PoE provides a robust total PoE budget of up to 1,050W, enabling it to support a wide range of PoE-powered devices simultaneously. From high-performance WiFi access points to IP cameras, VoIP phones, and smart building sensors, this switch delivers both the data speed and power required to drive modern connected infrastructures without additional cabling or power supply overhead.
The ECS-24-PoE is part of Ubiquiti’s Etherlighting™ line, which means each port is equipped with LED indicators that reflect real-time traffic and connection status. These hardware-based visual cues allow IT personnel to instantly assess port performance, detect active links, and identify utilization issues without relying entirely on software interfaces—dramatically improving on-site diagnostics and maintenance workflows.
Supporting full Layer 3 functionality, the switch enables inter-VLAN routing, static routing, DHCP management, and multicast support. These advanced features make the ECS-24-PoE ideal for segmented network architectures, such as those used in campuses, offices, co-working spaces, or hotels, where user groups and devices require separate and secure traffic paths.
With its quiet thermal design and 1U rackmount chassis, the ECS-24-PoE fits easily into network cabinets and IT enclosures. Its hardware is optimized for high-throughput environments and supports link aggregation, redundancy protocols, and QoS (Quality of Service) to ensure efficient data delivery under any network load conditions.
Centralized configuration and management are handled via the UniFi Network Controller. This software provides an intuitive dashboard for monitoring network health, configuring VLANs, managing port settings, applying firmware updates, and deploying policies across multiple switches and sites—all from a single interface. Remote access and alerting allow IT teams to maintain operational oversight no matter where they are.
In summary, the ECS-24-PoE delivers enterprise-grade switching performance in a compact yet powerful package. Its 10G/2.5G ports, generous PoE budget, advanced Layer 3 features, and seamless UniFi integration make it a perfect choice for businesses upgrading to high-speed infrastructure with centralized control.
