The Powerhouse for Your Professional Network
The UniFi Switch Pro 48 PoE is more than just a distributor – it's the heart of your Network. Developed for the highest demands, it combines massive port density with a huge 600W PoE budget. This allows you to effortlessly power an entire armada of PoE devices, from demanding PTZ IP Cameras with PoE++ to the latest WiFi 6 UniFi Access Points. Intelligent power distribution ensures that each device receives exactly the power it needs, stably and reliably.
Performance Without Compromise Thanks to 10G SFP+
While the 48 Gigabit ports provide broad connectivity, the four 10G SFP+ Uplinks are the game-changer for performance. They offer the necessary bandwidth to prevent data congestion between the UniFi Switch and your core Network or important servers. Whether you're transferring large amounts of data to a NAS or operating multiple VLANs with high traffic volumes – this UniFi Switch ensures smooth and fast data flow.
Intelligence Meets Easy Management
What truly makes this Network UniFi Switch 'Pro' are its extensive Layer-3 functions. Route traffic between different VLANs directly on the UniFi Switch without burdening your router. This not only increases speed but also the security and organization of your Network. Despite these advanced capabilities, management remains brilliantly simple thanks to integration into the Ubiquiti UniFi ecosystem. Through a central interface, you configure, monitor, and maintain all your UniFi devices – a dream for any administrator.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the difference between the USW-Pro-48-POE and the standard USW-48-POE?
The main difference lies in the advanced features of the Pro model: It offers Layer-3 switching capabilities such as inter-VLAN routing, a significantly higher total PoE budget of 600W (ideal for powering many devices without separate PoE Injectors / Power Supplies), support for the more powerful PoE++ standard, and four 10G SFP+ uplinks instead of 1G SFP. This makes it a powerful UniFi Switch for complex Network environments.
Do I need a UniFi Cloud Key to operate this switch?
Not necessarily. However, you need the UniFi Network Application software for configuration and management of this UniFi Switch. This can be run for free on a computer, server, in a Docker container, or on a dedicated UniFi Cloud Key or Dream Machine.
Can the switch also power devices with passive PoE?
No, the USW-Pro-48-POE, a robust Ethernet Switch, exclusively supports the active PoE standards IEEE 802.3af (PoE), 802.3at (PoE+), and 802.3bt (PoE++). It is not compatible with devices that require passive 24V or 48V PoE, which would typically need separate PoE Injectors / Power Supplies.
What does 'Layer 3 Switch' mean?
A Layer-3 Ethernet Switch can perform routing tasks in addition to normal Layer-2 functions. It routes data traffic between different virtual networks (VLANs) without an external router, which increases efficiency and speed within the internal Network.
Is the switch suitable for home use?
While technically possible, the USW-Pro-48-POE UniFi Switch is designed for professional use in enterprise Networks. For most home applications, its high port count, massive PoE budget, and advanced Layer-3 functions are over-dimensioned.
What is the USP RPS input?
The USP RPS (UniFi SmartPower Redundant Power System) input is a connection for an external, redundant power supply from Ubiquiti Networks. In the event of an internal power supply failure, this external RPS, acting as a redundant PoE Injectors / Power Supplies system, seamlessly takes over the power supply, thus securing continuous Network operation.
