Power for your Enterprise Network: The Ubiquiti UniFi Switch Pro 48 PoE
Are you looking for the ultimate solution for your Enterprise Network? The Ubiquiti UniFi Switch Pro 48 PoE is exactly what you need to take your infrastructure to the next level. This powerful Ethernet Switch was specially developed for demanding environments and offers you an impressive combination of performance, flexibility, and reliability. With 48 Gigabit Ports, supporting a variety of PoE+ and PoE++ standards, you effortlessly power an armada of devices, from modern WiFi Access Points to high-resolution IP Cameras. The four 10G SFP+ Uplinks ensure that your backbone always operates at maximum speed and bottlenecks are a thing of the past.
Layer 3 Functions: Your Network, Your Rules
Say goodbye to rigid network structures! The Ubiquiti UniFi Switch Pro 48 PoE is a full-fledged Layer 3 Switch, offering you advanced functions such as Inter-VLAN Routing, static routing, and even DHCP server functionality. This means for you: you can precisely segment your network, optimize data traffic, and create a high-performance, secure environment that is exactly tailored to your requirements. Whether you need complex VLAN structures for different departments or guest networks – this switch gives you full control.
Redundancy and Special Profiles for Professionals
In professional environments, redundancy is crucial. The USW-Pro-48-PoE supports the UniFi SmartPower RPS (USP-RPS) System, which enables an external, redundant power supply. This ensures your network remains seamlessly operational even in the event of an internal power supply failure. Another highlight is the integrated Pro AV Profiles. These are specially optimized for professional audio/video applications such as Dante, Q-SYS, or NDI, making the switch an ideal choice for broadcast environments, conference rooms, or educational institutions with extensive AV infrastructure.
Central Control and Maximum Flexibility
Managing your network has never been easier. Via the central UniFi Controller, you have access to your Ubiquiti UniFi Switch anytime and from anywhere. The intuitive 1.3" Touchscreen Display on the device itself also provides you with important status information at a glance. The rack-mountable design (1U) ensures easy integration into existing infrastructures, while the generous 600W PoE Budget gives you the freedom to operate even the most demanding PoE devices without additional power supplies.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the difference between PoE+, PoE++ and Standard PoE?
PoE (Power over Ethernet) allows you to power network devices directly via the Ethernet cable. Standard PoE (IEEE 802.3af) delivers up to 15.4W per port. PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at) increases this to up to 30W per port. PoE++ (IEEE 802.3bt) offers even higher power, with Type 3 delivering up to 60W and Type 4 up to 100W per port. Your USW-Pro-48-PoE supports PoE+ (32W) and PoE++ (64W) on specific ports.
Can the Ubiquiti USW-Pro-48-PoE also perform Layer 3 functions?
Yes, your Ubiquiti USW-Pro-48-PoE is a configurable Layer 3 switch. It supports advanced Layer 3 functions such as inter-VLAN routing, static routing, and DHCP server functionality, making it suitable for your complex network requirements.
How is the Ubiquiti USW-Pro-48-PoE managed?
Your switch is managed and configured via the UniFi Controller. You can do this via a graphical user interface (GUI) in your web browser or via the UniFi Mobile App, which allows you central monitoring and configuration from anywhere.
What types of devices can be powered with the PoE ports of the USW-Pro-48-PoE?
The PoE ports of your USW-Pro-48-PoE can power a wide range of devices, including Wi-Fi 6E/7 Access Points, IP Cameras (including PTZ cameras with heating), VoIP phones, touch panel PCs, digital information displays, and compact thin clients.
Does the USW-Pro-48-PoE offer an option for redundant power supply?
Yes, your UniFi Pro PoE Switch supports the Ubiquiti UniFi SmartPower RPS (USP-RPS) system. This external system can provide redundant power supply in case of an internal power supply failure to ensure network availability for you.
Is the USW-Pro-48-PoE suitable for use in a home network or rather for businesses?
Due to its extensive features, high port density, Layer 3 capabilities, and high PoE budget, your USW-Pro-48-PoE is primarily designed for enterprise networks, larger offices, educational institutions, hospitals, or data centers. For most home networks, it would be oversized and potentially too costly, although it would technically also work there.
