Ubiquiti UniFi 48 Port PoE Pro Switch (USW-Pro-48-POE)

The Ubiquiti UniFi Switch Pro 48 is a high-performance, fully managed Layer 3 switch designed to meet the needs of both enterprise and large-scale home network environments. It offers a robust set of features with 48 Gigabit Ethernet ports and 4 x 10G SFP+ uplink ports, making it a versatile solution for demanding networking tasks.

Product Features

Fanless, Silent Cooling

The UniFi Pro Switch utilizes passive cooling, which means there are no moving parts, resulting in near-silent operation. This makes it ideal for deployment in noise-sensitive areas like offices or meeting rooms.

Gigabit Ethernet Ports

48 x Gigabit Ethernet ports support 802.3af/at (PoE) and 802.3bt power standards, enabling you to power PoE-enabled devices like IP cameras, access points, and VoIP phones directly from the switch. There are 40 x 1G PoE ports and 8 x 1G PoE++ ports, offering high flexibility for powering devices.

Fiber Connectivity (SFP+)

With 4 x 10G SFP+ uplink ports, the switch provides high-capacity uplinks capable of supporting up to 10 Gbps for long-distance connections, making it suitable for aggregation switches and direct connections to high-performance devices like storage servers.

Layer 3 Features

In addition to basic Layer 2 switching features, the UniFi Switch Pro 48 includes Layer 3 capabilities like inter-VLAN routing, static routing, and a DHCP server, which allows it to function as a more advanced network switch capable of managing traffic routing between different subnets.

Power Supply Redundancy

The switch is compatible with UniFi SmartPower RPS (USP-RPS), a power redundancy system that ensures continued operation in case of an internal power supply failure, providing an extra layer of reliability.

Forwarding Capacity

The switch supports line-rate traffic forwarding on all ports simultaneously, ensuring no packet loss even when all ports are in use.

Intuitive Management

The UniFi Controller Software or UniFi Network mobile app enables easy configuration, monitoring, and management of all switch features. You can access it remotely from any device with a browser or the mobile app for a user-friendly interface and quick setup.
