Your 16-port switch is full and you're not ready to jump to 48. You need a middle step that actually keeps up with the traffic. This 24-port switch gives you eight 2.5 GbE lanes for your uplinks, backup drives, and bandwidth-heavy workstations, plus sixteen GbE ports for everything else on the floor.
Two 10G SFP+ slots handle your core uplink or inter-site link without becoming a bottleneck. Etherlighting tells you at a glance which port is live, what speed it's negotiating, and which VLAN it's sitting on — useful when you've got a school lab or a shared office and someone's asking "which one's mine?"
DC power backup ready means if your site loses AC, the network keeps breathing on a battery bank while you sort generators or wait for the grid. Managed through UniFi Network 8.0.24 and later. Rack it up, assign your config, and walk away
