Ubiquiti Pro Max 24 PoE
★ 3.5 Value Score
Technical Specifications
- Switching Capacity: 112 Gbps
- Total Non-Blocking Throughput: 56 Gbps
- Forwarding Rate: 83 Mpps (83.328 Mpps per Ubiquiti datasheet)
- Ports (breakdown): 1 x 1GbE RJ45 (non-PoE); 16 x 1GbE RJ45 (8 PoE+ 802.3at, 8 PoE++ 802.3bt); 8 x 2.5GbE RJ45 (all PoE++); 2 x 10G SFP+. Total: 24 PoE-capable ports plus 1 non-PoE RJ45 and 2 SFP+ uplinks
- PoE Budget: 400W total; per-port maximums: PoE 15.4W, PoE+ 32W, PoE++ 60W
- PoE Requirement: N/A (switch supplies PoE; 8 PoE+ and 16 PoE++ ports)

Curation Review
- ✔ Pros: Eight 2.5GbE PoE++ (60W) ports plus eight 1GbE PoE++ ports suit high-power devices such as Wi-Fi 6E/7 APs and PTZ cameras; Layer 3 with inter-VLAN routing, static routing and DHCP server removes the need for a separate router on small networks; 112 Gbps switching capacity and 56 Gbps non-blocking throughput support full-rate operation on most ports; Two 10G SFP+ uplinks provide a clear path to aggregation or core switches; 1U rack form factor with 1.3-inch touchscreen and Etherlighting; NDAA compliant, which suits government and regulated buyers
- ✘ Cons: The 400W PoE budget cannot power every port at its 60W maximum (16 PoE++ plus 8 PoE+ ports can request about 1,216W), so the switch must be sized by per-device load; No stacking or clustering support, so scaling beyond one unit means separate management and uplinks; 256 IPv4 static routes and a 16,000-entry MAC table limit larger L3 deployments; Uplinks are 10G SFP+ only, with no 25G option on the official spec; Requires UniFi Network 8.0.24 or later; Price is higher than many non-UniFi 24-port PoE switches, and retailers quote widely varying prices; No independent hands-on review or measured PoE performance data was found in the sources
- Est. Price: $799 - $966
