Whisper-Quiet Power for Your Network
Imagine a powerful 48-port UniFi Switch that powers your Network at top speed – and is absolutely silent. That's exactly what the Ubiquiti UniFi Switch USW-48 is. Thanks to its consistently fanless design, it is the first choice for noise-sensitive environments. Whether in an open office, a creative studio, or a living room rack: you hear nothing but silence. Focus on your work, not on distracting fan noise. This Ubiquiti 48 Port Switch fanless for office and demanding home users sets new standards in performance and comfort.
Centrally Managed: Full Control in the UniFi Ecosystem
The USW-48 is more than just hardware; it is an integral part of the powerful UniFi ecosystem. For you, this means: you can integrate the USW-48 into the UniFi Controller and manage it along with all your other UniFi Access Points and UniFi Switches via a single, intuitive interface. Configure VLANs, set up Port Mirroring, or monitor Traffic in real-time – all centrally and clearly arranged. As a dedicated Managed Layer 2 Gigabit Ethernet Switch, it offers you all the professional functions you need for a stable and secure Network, without the complexity of Layer 3 routing.
Thoughtful Design with Smart Features
Ubiquiti has thought of the details with the USW-48. The highlight is the brilliant 1.3-inch color touchscreen on the front. With a tap of your finger, you immediately see the system status, utilization, or any errors – quick diagnostics without having to boot up a PC. In combination with the UniFi Network App, you can even use Augmented Reality to visualize port assignments. The switch is the perfect choice if you want to buy a UniFi Switch 48 Port without PoE, but don't want to compromise on professional management features and a high-quality design.
Strengths & Notes at a Glance
- Pro: Absolutely silent operation thanks to passive, fanless cooling concept.
- Pro: Enormous port density (48 Ports) as a cost-effective solution without unnecessary PoE function.
- Pro: Perfect and seamless integration into the UniFi ecosystem for central management.
- Pro: Informative 1.3-inch touch display for quick status checks and on-site diagnostics.
- Note: The SFP uplink ports are limited to 1 Gbps and are not suitable for 10G Networks.
- Note: As a pure Layer 2 switch, it cannot perform routing between different VLANs; a router is required for this.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the main difference between the Ubiquiti USW-48 and the USW-48-POE?
The main difference is the lack of Power over Ethernet (PoE) in the USW-48. While the USW-48-POE can power devices like UniFi Access Points or IP Cameras through 32 of its 48 ports, the USW-48 does not offer this feature. This makes it more affordable and results in significantly lower power consumption, ideal for a robust Network.
Do I need a UniFi Cloud Key or a Dream Machine to operate the USW-48?
No, not necessarily. The UniFi Network Controller software is required for configuration, which can run for free on a computer within the same Network. A Cloud Key or a Dream Machine is a dedicated hardware solution for permanent controller operation, but it is not a fundamental prerequisite for managing your UniFi Switch.
Is the Ubiquiti USW-48 fanless and therefore silent?
Yes, thanks to its passive cooling concept, the USW-48 is completely fanless and operates absolutely silently. This makes it ideal for use in offices, living areas, or other noise-sensitive environments where a quiet Ethernet Switch is desired.
Can I use the SFP-Ports of the USW-48 for 10-Gigabit connections?
No, the four SFP ports of the USW-48 are limited to a speed of 1 Gbps. They do not support SFP+ Modules for 10-Gbps connections. For this, a model from the UniFi 'Pro' or 'Enterprise' series would be required, offering higher-speed SFP / SFP\+ Modules capabilities.
Does the USW-48 support Layer-3 functions like static routing?
No, the USW-48 is a pure Layer-2 Ethernet Switch. It cannot route data traffic between different VLANs (Inter-VLAN routing). This task must be handled by a Router or a Layer-3 Switch within the Network.
What does the small touchscreen on the USW-48 display?
The 1.3-inch LCM touchscreen provides a quick overview of the system status, such as Switch name, IP address, client count, system utilization, and data throughput. It primarily serves for quick on-device diagnosis of your Network.
