Ubiquiti USW-24 UniFi 24-Port Gigabit Layer 2 Switch
The Ubiquiti USW-24 UniFi is a 24-port managed Layer 2 switch built for small to medium networks that need silent, fanless operation in shared spaces. Its compact 1U form factor, touchscreen display, and UniFi Network Controller integration make it suitable for offices, studios, and other environments where noise and space are concerns.
Why this product
24 Gigabit ports plus 2 SFP
Full complement of 24 1GbE RJ45 ports and 2 SFP uplink ports for flexible network topology.
Silent fanless design
No moving parts means it runs completely silent and requires no maintenance, fitting seamlessly into any workspace.
1.3-inch touchscreen display
Built-in color LCD shows real-time switch status and diagnostics without requiring a separate monitor or management interface.
Managed via UniFi Network Controller
Centralized configuration and monitoring through UniFi software, with mobile app support for remote management.
1U rackmountable with included kit
Compact 17.4 x 7.9 inch footprint fits standard network racks and can also sit on a desk or shelf.

- Works with any UniFi Network Controller (cloud-hosted or on-premises) running supported software versions.
- Compatible with standard Gigabit Ethernet equipment and SFP transceiver modules rated for 1G operation.
- Fits 19-inch network racks as a 1U unit; mounting kit is included.
- Does not provide Power over Ethernet (PoE) — it is a passive Layer 2 switch and cannot power PoE devices.
- Requires UniFi Network Controller for management; it cannot operate as a standalone unmanaged switch.
Best for
- Network administrators who want a silent, centrally managed switch in offices or studios.
- Setups where rack space is limited — its shallow 1.7-inch depth saves significant space.
- Organizations already using Ubiquiti UniFi infrastructure for consistent ecosystem management.
- Environments where noise cannot be tolerated, such as broadcast facilities or recording studios.
Trade-offs
- High-throughput backbone links: At 26 Gbps total non-blocking throughput, it is not designed for data center aggregation or 10 Gbps core switching.
- PoE-dependent deployments: It offers no Power over Ethernet, so you cannot power wireless access points or IP cameras directly from this switch.
- Standalone or simple networks: It requires UniFi Network Controller; there is no unmanaged mode for plug-and-play operation.
- Organisations without UniFi infrastructure: Setup and management depend on the UniFi ecosystem; it will not integrate with other vendors' management platforms.
USW-24 is a managed Layer 2 switch with (24) Gigabit Ethernet ports and (2) SFP ports. Its compact 7.9" depth and fanless design allow it to be placed in any workspace, and the 1.3" touch screen provides current switch states and the necessary information you need for quick diagnosis.
Managed and configured by the UniFi Network Controller with UniFi mobile app support, the USW-24 switch offers an extensive suite of advanced Layer 2 switching protocols and features, including operating mode (switching, mirroring, or aggregate) per port.
