Ubiquiti USW-PRO-48-POE | UniFi Switch Pro 48 PoE | 88 Gbps Switch
Ubiquiti USW-PRO-48-POE | UniFi Switch Pro 48 PoE | 88 Gbps Switch
A 48-port Layer 3 managed switch with 600W of PoE budget for dense deployments that need to power high-draw devices alongside standard PoE gear.
Why this one
- Eight ports deliver up to 60W each (802.3bt PoE++), so access points, PTZ cameras and digital signage that exceed the 30W PoE+ ceiling each get a dedicated high-power feed without an adaptor.
- The 600W total PoE budget across 48 ports gives you headroom to run a fully loaded rack without rationing power or staggering boot sequences.
- Layer 3 routing with 256 static IPv4 routes means inter-VLAN traffic can be switched locally rather than hairpinning through a gateway, which matters in a multi-VLAN office or warehouse.
- Four 10G SFP+ uplinks let you bond links to a core switch or NVR without creating a bottleneck when all 48 ports are active.
Good fit if you're building out a rack for an office, school or medium-sized venue where the port count is real, PoE++ devices are in the mix, and you want Layer 3 segmentation managed through UniFi Network.
Worth considering something else if your port count is under 24 or you have no PoE++ devices — the USW-PRO-24-POE covers a 24-port PoE+ deployment at a lower price band, and the USW-PRO-48 suits the same port count without the PoE overhead if your devices are all powered locally.
What you'll also need
A UniFi gateway or Dream Machine to manage the switch through UniFi Network (version 5.10.5 or later), rack space and a power circuit that can supply up to 660W under full PoE load, DAC cables or SFP+ modules for the uplink ports, and a UniFi RPS if you want DC power backup on the switch.
