The
ECS-24-PoE (Enterprise Campus 24 PoE) is an
enterprise-grade 1U full-depth rack-mount Layer 3 Etherlighting™ PoE+++ switch engineered for East African enterprise deployments requiring extreme PoE power density, hot-swappable redundancy, and multi-gigabit 10G switching in a scalable, future-proof platform. Measuring
442.4 × 43.7 × 496 mm (17.4 × 1.7 × 19.5") and weighing
9.46 kg (20.9 lb) without or 9.56 kg (21.1 lb) with mounting brackets, the ECS-24-PoE is designed for
482.6 mm (19") four-post racks with post depths ranging from 650 to 1,000 mm (25.6–39.4"). The
SGCC steel enclosure with a
1.3" touchscreen LCM display and
Ethernet and system LED indicators delivers a mission-critical enterprise-grade installation. Requires
UniFi Network version 9.0.114 and later.
The
ECS-24-PoE delivers
up to 1,050W total PoE availability with the included 600W power modules in shared mode — every one of the 24 ports is PoE+++ capable at up to 90W, supporting the most power-hungry PoE devices in enterprise East African deployments. The PSU architecture is fully scalable: upgrading to optional 1,200W power modules expands PoE availability to
2,250W in 200–240V AC shared mode.
Full PoE availability by power configuration:
- 100–240V AC shared mode with 600W modules: 1,050W
- 100–240V AC redundant mode with 600W modules: 450W
- 200–240V AC shared mode with 1,200W modules: 2,250W
- 100–120V AC shared mode with 1,200W modules: 1,850W
- 200–240V AC redundant mode with 1,200W modules: 1,050W
- 100–120V AC redundant mode with 1,200W modules: 850W
Switching capacity of 460 Gbps with 230 Gbps non-blocking throughput and 342 Mpps forwarding rate ensures wire-speed performance across all 26 ports simultaneously.
(2) 25G SFP28 uplink ports provide high-speed connectivity to the Enterprise Campus Aggregation or core infrastructure.
Etherlighting™ illuminates all Ethernet and SFP28 ports for visual network intelligence. The
128,000 MAC address table and 8 MB packet buffer support the largest East African enterprise network topologies.
Complete hardware redundancy includes:
- (2) included hot-swappable 600W AC/DC power modules — upgradeable to 1,200W modules for maximum PoE budget
- (4) included hot-swappable fan modules with one backup fan module — fan replacement without downtime
- ±30kV/±30kV ESD protection — maximum surge protection for East African environments
Layer 3 capabilities include:
- DHCP server and DHCP relay for local networks
- Inter-VLAN routing and static routing for local networks
- 128,000 ARP entries, 256,000 IPv4 routes, and 512 IPv4 static routes
Pro AV profiles for one-click optimisation include:
- Play, Dante, Q-SYS, NDI, SDVoE, Shure, AES67, and Crestron
The comprehensive
Layer 2 feature set includes:
- LACP port aggregation, STP/RSTP, QoS (DSCP)
- Advanced IGMP configuration and IGMP snooping
- 802.1X control, MAC-based and IP-based ACLs
- DHCP snooping and guarding, egress rate limiting, flow control
- Storm control, multicast/broadcast rate limiting, port isolation, port mirroring
- Jumbo frames, LLDP-MED, Voice VLAN, loop protection, virtual network override
- 256 IPv4 ACLs and 256 MAC ACLs
Additional specifications:
- Max. power consumption: 150W excluding PoE output / 2,400W including PoE output
- Heat dissipation: 444 BTU/hr excluding PoE output
- Operating temperature: -5°C to 40°C (23°F to 104°F)
- Operating humidity: 10–90% non-condensing
- CE, FCC, IC, and Anatel certified, fully NDAA compliant
Ideal for
enterprise campuses, data centres, healthcare systems, broadcast facilities, government institutions, educational campuses, and high-availability deployments across Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, and the wider East and Central Africa region requiring
24-port PoE+++ switching at up to 90W per port, scalable PoE availability from 1,050W to 2,250W, 230 Gbps throughput, hot-swappable dual PSUs and quad fans, Etherlighting™, Pro AV profiles, and full UniFi Layer 3 management in a mission-critical full-depth rack-mount switch.
