USW-24-POE is a highly configurable and versatile Gigabit Layer 2 switch designed for enterprise networks and small office/home office (SOHO) environments. With its extensive feature set and compact design, it provides reliable and efficient network connectivity with Power over Ethernet (PoE) capabilities. This switch offers twenty-four Gigabit Ethernet ports, which allow you to connect a wide range of devices such as computers, printers, IP phones, and access points at Gigabit speeds. Among these ports, sixteen are auto-sensing 802.3at PoE+ ports, enabling you to power compatible devices directly through the Ethernet cables, eliminating the need for separate power sources or adapters. In addition to the Ethernet ports, the USW-24-POE features two SFP (Small Form-Factor Pluggable) ports, offering flexible fiber uplink options for connecting to other network devices or extending the network over longer distances. One of the standout features of this switch is its 1.3" touch LCD screen, known as the LCM (Liquid Crystal Module). This LCM provides real-time status information, allowing you to monitor the switch's performance, port statuses, and other important details at a glance. The touch interface makes it easy to navigate through the various settings and configurations. With a depth of just 7.9 inches, the USW-24-POE is designed to be compact and can be conveniently installed in a SOHO rack cabinet, making it suitable for small-scale deployments where space is a concern. The fanless design ensures silent operation, contributing to a peaceful working environment. To manage and configure the switch, you can utilize the UniFi Network Application, which provides a comprehensive set of tools and features. The application offers a user-friendly graphical interface that allows administrators to monitor and control various aspects of the switch remotely. It also includes support for the UniFi mobile app, enabling you to manage the switch from your smartphone or tablet, providing convenience and flexibility in network management. The USW-24-POE supports advanced Layer 2 switching protocols and features, offering flexibility and efficiency in network operations. It supports multiple operation modes, including switching, mirroring, and aggregation, which can be configured on a per-port basis. This level of customization allows you to tailor the switch's behavior according to your specific requirements. Powering the switch is an internal PSU (Power Supply Unit), which accepts input voltages ranging from 100 to 240 V AC, making it compatible with various power sources. The maximum power consumption of the switch is 120 W, ensuring ample power for connected devices and PoE-enabled equipment. In terms of physical parameters, the USW-24-POE comes in a sleek silver color, adding a touch of elegance to your network setup. Its dimensions measure 442.4 x 200 x 43.7 mm, and it weighs 3.09 kg. The operating temperature range of the switch is -5 °C to 40 °C, allowing it to function reliably in various indoor environments. With a 1U form factor, it is rack-mountable and occupies only a single rack unit, maximizing space efficiency. The switch can be easily installed using the rack-mount method, further simplifying the deployment process. USW-24-POE is a feature-rich and reliable Gigabit Layer 2 switch that combines high-performance networking capabilities with the convenience of PoE technology. Whether you need to connect a small office network or expand your enterprise infrastructure, this switch provides the flexibility, manageability, and power options required to meet your networking needs.
