The Ubiquiti UniFi Switch ECS-24S-PoE (Part Number: ECS-24S-PoE) is a high-performance Layer 3 managed switch from the Etherlighting™ series, purpose-built for mid-size enterprise networks that demand both multi-gigabit connectivity and robust PoE capabilities. Featuring 16× 10 Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 ports and 8× 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 ports with full PoE+++ support, as well as 2× 25G SFP28 uplink ports, this switch delivers scalable throughput and flexible power options for fast-growing infrastructures.
Designed for professional deployments, the ECS-24S-PoE provides a total PoE budget of up to 1,050W, allowing it to power a variety of network devices including next-gen WiFi access points, 4K IP surveillance systems, VoIP phones, and IoT sensors. Its support for IEEE 802.3bt ensures compatibility with high-wattage PoE++ devices, making it a reliable choice for environments where maximum power and speed are non-negotiable.
The switch’s inclusion in the Etherlighting™ series means it benefits from Ubiquiti’s signature real-time port status indicators. These LED indicators above each port provide immediate visual feedback on link status, data rate, and PoE activity, helping administrators monitor, diagnose, and deploy networks quickly and accurately without depending entirely on software tools.
With full Layer 3 capabilities including inter-VLAN routing, static routing, DHCP services, and multicast traffic control, the ECS-24S-PoE is equipped to serve as more than a basic access switch. It enables organizations to implement secure network segmentation, prioritize traffic for critical services, and support multi-tenant deployments with ease.
The 2Ă— 25G SFP28 uplinks provide ultra-fast backhaul to aggregation or core switches, ensuring there is no bottleneck between access layer and higher network tiers. Whether supporting multiple departments, high-density client areas, or performance-critical systems, this switch offers ample headroom to grow and adapt.
Rack-mountable and compact in a 1U chassis, the ECS-24S-PoE fits easily into standard data cabinets. It is ideal for distribution layers in branch offices, school networks, creative agencies, and managed service environments. With advanced redundancy options, LACP (link aggregation), and QoS support, it ensures stable, uninterrupted service across all connected devices.
Managed via the UniFi Network Controller, the switch offers centralized visibility, configuration, and automation across UniFi networks. IT teams can configure VLANs, monitor real-time performance, push firmware updates, and receive alerts through a single interface.
In summary, the ECS-24S-PoE delivers next-gen Layer 3 performance, high PoE power, and UniFi-managed intelligence in a compact format—making it the perfect bridge between speed, visibility, and control for modern enterprise deployments.
