The UBIQUITI NETWORKS USW-Pro-HD-24 is a professional, fully managed Layer 3 Switch with integrated Etherlighting™ technology, designed for use in medium to large networks. It features a total of 28 ports, including 22 ports with a speed of 2.5 GbE, two 10 GbE ports, and four 10G SFP+ connections. The Etherlighting™ function enables visual diagnosis of port connections, with LEDs displaying location information, current speed/connection, and native VLAN/network. This display is particularly useful for network diagnostics and maintenance, especially in complex environments. The maximum brightness of the LEDs is achieved when the device is connected with UniFi Etherlighting patch cables.

Applications

The switch is suitable for use in enterprises, schools, hospitals, or other facilities with high network requirements. It supports management of multiple VLANs, internal routing functions, and advanced QoS regulations, making it ideal for applications with high bandwidth demands such as video transmission, VoIP, or cloud integration. Support for Inter-VLAN routing and static routing enables a flexible network architecture without additional routers. The integrated DHCP relay function supports centralized IP address management.

Functions and Equipment in Detail

The switch offers extensive Layer 2 and Layer 3 functions. Layer 2 functions include IGMP Snooping, STP/RSTP with port-based prioritization, port isolation, storm control, Voice VLAN, port mirroring, LACP port aggregation, multicast/broadcast rate limiting, MAC address blocking, flow control, 802.1X control, jumbo frames, proprietary loop protection, DHCP snooping/guarding, egress rate limiting, LLDP-MED, MAC-limited port, and device isolation with ACLs. The QoS function Pro AV supports prioritization of audio and video traffic. On Layer 3, DHCP for locally managed networks, DHCP relay, Inter-VLAN routing, static routing, and network isolation with ACLs are available.

Technology Explained Simply

The switch features a non-blocking switching capacity of 230 Gbit/s and a total throughput of 115 Gbit/s, ensuring high performance when multiple ports are used simultaneously. Forwarding occurs at a rate of 171.12 Mpps. Power supply is provided by an internal AC/DC power supply with 60 W power, supporting a voltage range of 100–240 V AC. Maximum power consumption is 50 W. A 1.3-inch touchscreen enables local control and display of system information. A factory reset button is also integrated. Operating temperature ranges from -5 to 40 °C, and operating humidity is between 10 and 90 % non-condensing. Certifications CE, FCC, IC confirm compliance with applicable standards.

Compatibility and Accessories

The switch is designed for use with UniFi Etherlighting patch cables, available in various lengths (0.15 m, 0.3 m, 1 m, 2 m). These cables enable optimal use of the Etherlighting™ function. The use of a UniFi RPS (Redundant Power Supply) is required to activate the DC backup power supply. Management is performed via an Ethernet In-Band interface. Network management requires the UniFi Network Software version 8.6.9 or later.

Mounting and Installation

The switch is designed as a 19-inch rack-mount device and can be installed in standard 19-inch racks. Dimensions are 442.4 x 285 x 44 mm. The housing is made of SGCC steel. Weight is 4.2 kg without mounting brackets and 4.3 kg with mounting brackets. Installation is performed using the integrated mounting brackets. Power supply is via a universal input (100–240 V AC, 50/60 Hz). A USP-RPS DC input is also available to enable backup power supply.

Operational Advantages

The Etherlighting™ technology reduces network diagnostic time, as status information is directly visible at the ports. The integrated Layer 3 functionality enables decentralized network management without additional routers. Support for jumbo frames and QoS functions such as Pro AV ensures optimal performance for data-intensive applications. The high switching capacity and non-blocking throughput guarantee stable network performance even under heavy load. Integrated RPS support increases network availability during power outages.
