Your Powerhouse: Ubiquiti 48 Port PoE Switch with 500W
The Ubiquiti EdgeSwitch 48 (ES-48-500W) is more than just a distributor – it's the heart of your professional Network. If you're looking for a reliable and powerful solution to supply numerous end devices with data and power, this Managed PoE+ Gigabit Switch is the perfect choice. The massive 500-watt power budget ensures that even demanding setups with many IP Cameras, WiFi Access Points, or VoIP phones run stably. Thanks to support for the IEEE 802.3at PoE+ standard and configurable 24V passive PoE, you enjoy unparalleled flexibility.
Performance without Compromises thanks to 10G SFP+
In modern Networks, bottlenecks are the biggest enemy. The ES-48-500W eliminates this problem from the ground up. With a Switching Capacity of 140 Gbps and a Non-Blocking Throughput of 70 Gbps, data packets are processed at lightning speed. The 48 Gigabit RJ45 ports offer high port density for your end devices. For connecting to the rest of your Network, dedicated 10 Gbps SFP+ Uplinks are available, ensuring that the connection to the server or other Ethernet Switch devices always remains fast and stable. This Ethernet Switch is therefore a future-proof investment in your infrastructure.
Full Control with Enterprise-Level Functions
As a true Managed Switch, the EdgeSwitch 48 offers you a wealth of advanced configuration options. Via the intuitive graphical web interface or the powerful Command-Line Interface (CLI), you manage your Network down to the smallest detail. Set up VLANs for segmenting your Network, use Link Aggregation (LACP) to bundle bandwidth, or implement detailed security policies with Access Control Lists (ACLs) and 802.1X authentication. Even basic Layer-3 functions like static routing are available to intelligently direct data traffic.
Built for Professional Use
The Ubiquiti EdgeSwitch 48 is designed for installation in 19-Inch Racks and integrates seamlessly into existing server environments with its 1U form factor. The robust construction and active cooling ensure reliable operation even under load. Please note that the fans are designed for use in a dedicated technical room and might be perceived as loud in a quiet office environment. For administrators who require maximum performance and control, this switch from the EdgeSwitch series by Ubiquiti is the logical choice. Consider also Ubiquiti Accessories for your setup.
