Ubiquiti USW-ENT-48-POE | UniFi Enterprise 48 PoE | 160 Gbps Switch

A high-density managed Layer 3 PoE+ switch for larger UniFi deployments where most ports need to power Wi-Fi 6 access points and uplink capacity matters.

Why this one

• Every access-facing port delivers 2.5 GbE, which means Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 6E access points get the backhaul speed they're designed for rather than being bottlenecked at gigabit.
• PoE+ across all access ports means you're running one cable to each AP, camera or phone — no separate power runs, no injectors cluttering the rack.
• Layer 3 switching handles inter-VLAN routing at the switch itself, which keeps traffic off the gateway for sites with multiple network segments.
• Dedicated SFP+ uplink ports let you connect to an aggregation switch or NVR over fibre or DAC without consuming any of the access ports.

Good fit if you're deploying a dense floor of Wi-Fi 6 access points, IP phones or PoE cameras in an office, campus or warehouse and need a single managed switch to handle both power and high-throughput uplinks cleanly.

Worth considering something else if your port count or PoE budget is smaller than this switch is sized for — the USW-ENT-24-POE covers half the access ports and suits mid-sized deployments where a 48-port chassis would be underutilised.

What you'll also need

A UniFi gateway or Dream Machine to manage the network (UDM-PRO, UDM-PRO-MAX or UXG-PRO), an aggregation or core switch if you're stacking (USW-PRO-AGGR), SFP+ DAC cables or fibre modules for the uplinks, and rack space — this is a rack-mount unit.
