Your Powerhouse for PoE: The UniFi Switch Pro 48 PoE
No more compromises on powering your end devices. The USW-Pro-48-POE is a true powerhouse, providing you with a massive PoE budget of 600 Watts. While 40 ports deliver the proven PoE+ standard, 8 ports are equipped with the future-proof PoE++ standard (802.3bt). This allows you to power even the most demanding devices such as professional PTZ cameras, digital signage displays, or High-Performance UniFi Access Points with up to 64 watts per port – all via a single Ethernet Cable.
Future-Proof Speed with 10G SFP+ Uplinks
A Network is only as fast as its weakest link. To ensure that the concentrated power of 48 Gigabit ports doesn't get stuck in an uplink bottleneck, the UniFi Switch Pro 48 PoE features four 10G SFP+ Ports. These high-speed interfaces are essential for connecting to your central core UniFi Switch, to servers, or to NAS systems. This ensures that your Network functions smoothly and without bottlenecks even with high data volumes. You can also find the appropriate SFP / SFP\+ Modules with us.
Intelligent Network Management with Layer-3 Features
The USW-Pro-48-POE is more than just a simple Ethernet Switch. It is an intelligent, managed switch with extensive Layer-3 capabilities. With features like Inter-VLAN routing, you can route data traffic between different network segments (VLANs) directly on the switch, without burdening an external router. This significantly increases the efficiency and security of your network. Set up separate networks for guests, employees, and IoT devices and precisely control data flow with static routes and ACLs.
Perfectly Integrated into the Ubiquiti UniFi Ecosystem
Like every device in the UniFi Switch family, the Pro 48 PoE seamlessly integrates into the UniFi Network Application. Forget complicated command lines! Through a central, graphical interface, you configure and monitor your entire network – from UniFi Access Points to UniFi Switches and gateways. The intuitive dashboard, detailed statistics, and AR management via the integrated touchscreen make network administration as simple and clear as never before.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the main difference between the UniFi Switch Pro 48 PoE and the more affordable UniFi Switch 48 PoE?
The main difference lies in the uplinks and Layer-3 capabilities. The Pro Switch features four 10G SFP+ Uplinks, while the standard switch only has 1G SFP Uplinks. Additionally, the Pro model offers extensive Layer-3 functions such as Inter-VLAN-Routing, which are absent in the standard model. This is crucial for advanced Network management.
Can the USW-Pro-48-POE power devices with PoE++?
Yes, the UniFi Switch has 8 dedicated ports that support the IEEE 802.3bt PoE++ standard and can deliver up to 64 watts per port. The remaining 40 ports support PoE+ with up to 32 watts, making it suitable for various PoE Injectors / Power Supplies needs.
Do I absolutely need a UniFi Dream Machine (UDM) or a Cloud Key to use this UniFi Switch?
Yes, for full configuration and management, an instance of the UniFi Network Application is required. This can be run on a UDM, a UniFi Cloud Key, or freely on your own server (Windows, macOS, Linux). Without a controller, the UniFi Switch only functions with basic capabilities, impacting your overall Network setup.
Is the UniFi Switch Pro 48 PoE loud?
Ubiquiti Networks promotes it with 'near-silent cooling'. While the fans can be audible under high PoE load and at high ambient temperatures, it is generally perceived as quieter compared to older generations or Enterprise Ethernet Switch models from other brands, especially under low load.
What are Layer-3 functions like Inter-VLAN-Routing needed for?
These functions allow the UniFi Switch to route data traffic between different virtual local area networks (VLANs) without needing to pass through an external Router. This increases efficiency and speed within the internal Network, for example, to securely separate a guest WiFi from the internal company network, enhancing your WiFi Routers capabilities.
What is the purpose of the USP RPS DC port?
This port is for power redundancy. It allows the UniFi Switch to be connected to a Ubiquiti UniFi SmartPower Redundant Power System (USP-RPS). If the switch's internal Power Supply fails, the USP-RPS seamlessly takes over power, preventing a Network outage and ensuring continuous operation of your UniFi Switch.
