UniFi Pro 24 PoE: what it is & who it's for
The 24-port gigabit workhorse. 400 W of PoE across 24 GbE ports, dual 10G SFP+ uplinks, and full Layer 3 routing in a 1U chassis — the default access switch for a UniFi rack, as long as 1 GbE to each device is enough. UniFi racks that need 24 ports of gigabit PoE with 10G uplinks and Layer 3 routing, where 1 GbE per device is sufficient.
