UniFi Pro Max 24 PoE: what it is & who it's for
The 2.5 GbE upgrade to the Pro 24. Same 400 W PoE, dual 10G SFP+, and Layer 3 — but eight of its ports run at 2.5 GbE, sixteen are PoE++, and the fabric grows to 112 Gbps. The pick when multi-gig APs or clients are in the plan. UniFi racks deploying Wi-Fi 6E/7 access points or 2.5 GbE clients that need multi-gig access ports without moving to a full 10G switch.

Verdict
The 2.5 GbE upgrade to the Pro 24. Same 400 W PoE, dual 10G SFP+, and Layer 3 — but eight of its ports run at 2.5 GbE, sixteen are PoE++, and the fabric grows to 112 Gbps. The pick when multi-gig APs or clients are in the plan.
Pros
- 8 of 24 ports are 2.5 GbE — multi-gig for Wi-Fi 6E/7 APs
- 16 PoE++ ports (vs 8 on the Pro 24) for high-draw devices
- Same 400 W PoE, dual 10G SFP+, and Layer 3 as the Pro 24
- 112 Gbps switching, 83 Mpps; Etherlighting port LEDs
Cons
- About $100 more than the Pro 24
- Only a third of the ports are 2.5 GbE — the rest stay 1 GbE
- Rackmount 1U; overkill for a small wired footprint
Best forUniFi racks deploying Wi-Fi 6E/7 access points or 2.5 GbE clients that need multi-gig access ports without moving to a full 10G switch.
