Ubiquiti USW-48-POE | UniFi Switch 48 PoE | 52 Gbps Switch
$1,203.00
A fanless 48-port PoE+ switch for server rooms and comms cupboards where port density and silence both matter.
Why this one
- 32 of the 48 RJ45 ports deliver PoE+, so you can run access points, cameras, VoIP handsets and readers from a single switch without counting PoE-capable ports.
- The fanless design produces no mechanical noise, which matters in open offices, boardrooms, or any space where the comms rack is within earshot of people working.
- 195W of total PoE availability across 32 ports is enough to run a dense access point deployment without juggling a separate PoE injector or a second switch.
- The 1.3" touchscreen lets you check port status and PoE draw directly on the unit, without opening the UniFi dashboard or physically tracing a cable.
Good fit if you're building out a wired-plus-wireless office or retail space on a single rack unit and need most ports to carry PoE+ without adding fans to a quiet room.
Worth considering something else if you need uplink speeds beyond 1G SFP or greater PoE headroom — the USW-PRO-48-POE sits in the same price band but adds 10G SFP+ uplinks and a larger PoE allocation if those are the constraints.
What you'll also need
A UniFi gateway (such as the UCG-MAX or UDM-PRO) to manage the switch through UniFi Network, a standard IEC C13 power lead to a rack PDU or wall socket, and Cat5e or better run to each PoE device.
