Power and Performance for Professional Networks
The UniFi Switch Pro 48 PoE is not just a distributor – it is the heart of your enterprise Network. Developed for the highest demands, it offers an impressive combination of power, flexibility, and intelligent management. With its enormous switching capacity of 176 Gbps and a Non-Blocking Throughput of 88 Gbps, it ensures that your data streams flow unimpeded even at full utilization of all 48 Gigabit ports. The four 10G SFP+ Uplinks are the decisive factor in avoiding a bottleneck to the rest of your Network and ensuring scalability for the future.
Future-Proof Power Supply with PoE++ and 600W Budget
Forget separate power supplies and cable clutter. The USW-PRO-48-POE, with its powerful 600 Watt Power Supply, provides more than enough energy for your entire infrastructure. The 8 PoE++ Ports (802.3bt) are specially designed for high-power devices such as PTZ cameras or the latest Wi-Fi 6 Access Points and deliver up to 64W per port. Supplemented by 40 additional PoE+ Ports, you are equipped for every requirement. This massive PoE budget makes the Switch the ideal choice for dense installations in offices, hotels, or educational institutions.
Intelligent Routing Thanks to Layer-3 Capabilities
This Switch is more than just a Layer-2 device. As a full-fledged Layer 3 Switch, it takes on important routing tasks, thereby relieving your central router. Configure Inter-VLAN routing to logically separate Network segments and increase security, or use static routing for efficient traffic control. The integrated DHCP server functionality further simplifies Network management. All of this is centrally and clearly controlled via the license-free UniFi Network Application, which gives you full control.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Is the Ubiquiti USW-PRO-48-POE purely a Layer 2 Switch?
No, it is a fully-featured Layer 3 UniFi Switch. In addition to all common Layer 2 functions, it also offers Layer 3 capabilities such as Inter-VLAN-Routing, static routing, and a DHCP server function for your Network.
Which devices can I connect to the PoE++ ports?
The 8x PoE++ (802.3bt) ports deliver up to 64W per port and are ideal for high-power consumption devices, such as PTZ surveillance IP Cameras, high-power WiFi Access Points, or digital signage displays, leveraging the robust PoE Injectors / Power Supplies.
Do I need a special license for the software?
No, a major advantage of the Ubiquiti UniFi system is that the entire management software (UniFi Network Application) is license-free. There are no recurring costs for using the full range of functions within your Network.
What is the USP RPS input on the back?
This is a proprietary input for the 'UniFi SmartPower Redundant Power System' (USP-RPS). An external, redundant power supply can be connected, which seamlessly takes over the operation of the UniFi Switch in the event of an internal power supply failure, thereby increasing reliability and ensuring continuous Network operation.
Can I also use the 10G SFP+ ports for 1G connections?
Yes, the SFP+ ports are backward compatible and can be equipped with both 10G and 1G SFP / SFP\+ Modules, offering high flexibility when connecting to older or slower Network backbones.
How is the UniFi Switch cooled?
The UniFi Switch features an active cooling system with integrated fans. This system is intelligently controlled (PWM) to adjust cooling performance based on temperature and load, keeping noise generation as low as possible for your Network environment.
