Ubiquiti USW-PRO-48 | UniFi Switch Pro 48 | 88 Gbps Switch
A fanless 48-port Layer 3 switch for server rooms and wiring closets that need 10G uplinks and managed routing without active cooling noise.
Why this one
- Four 10G SFP+ uplink ports let you connect to a core switch or NAS over fibre or DAC cable, keeping that run from becoming the bottleneck on a busy network.
- Layer 3 support with 256 IPv4 static routes means inter-VLAN routing happens at the switch itself, reducing the load on your gateway for traffic that never needs to leave the building.
- Fanless design draws just 60W at full load, so it runs silently in a quiet office or comms room without adding fan noise or a maintenance point.
- The 1.3" touchscreen displays port status and basic diagnostics without opening a browser, which saves time when you're standing in front of the rack.
Good fit if you're building out a UniFi network with a full rack of wired devices, need 10G connectivity to storage or upstream switching, and want Layer 3 routing handled at the access layer.
Worth considering something else if your port count doesn't fill this chassis — the USW-PRO-24 covers a smaller deployment in the same form factor, or if you need PoE, the USW-PRO-48-POE is the right step up.
What you'll also need
A UniFi gateway or Cloud Gateway to manage it through UniFi Network, SFP+ modules or DAC cables for the 10G ports, Cat5e or better to each device, and rack space — it's 1U and ships with mounting brackets.
