The Ubiquiti UniFi Switch 48 PoE (Model: USW-48-PoE) is an enterprise-grade 1U rack-mountable Layer 2 managed switch built to deliver expansive network expansion, centralized power distribution, and reliable throughput across medium to large-scale commercial networks. Engineered as a foundational switching appliance within the UniFi ecosystem, the USW-48-PoE streamlines network infrastructure by delivering high-density Gigabit connectivity alongside Power over Ethernet (PoE+) capabilities, enabling single-cable connectivity for IP surveillance cameras, VoIP phones, and Wireless Access Points across corporate offices and institutions.
Designed for efficient thermal management and silent operation, the USW-48-PoE provides 48 total Gigabit RJ45 ports, with 32 ports delivering auto-sensing 802.3af/at PoE+ power to connected devices. To accommodate fiber backbone extensions and long-distance uplinks, it incorporates four 1G SFP optical ports. Fully integrated into the UniFi Network software suite, it enables administrators to manage port settings, monitor real-time traffic flows, configure dynamic VLANs, and perform visual device tracking via its front-panel 1.3" color touchscreen LCM.
Comprehensive Key Features:
48-Port High-Density Gigabit Layout: Equipped with 48 x 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ45 ports and 4 x 1G SFP optical ports for versatile high-bandwidth networking.
Auto-Sensing 802.3at PoE+ Output: Ports 1 through 32 automatically supply 802.3af/at PoE+ power (up to 32W per port) with a total internal PoE power budget of 195W.
Integrated 1.3" Color LCM Touchscreen: Displays real-time bandwidth performance graphs, active PoE power draw, link states, and system alerts directly on the front panel.
Advanced Layer 2 Switching Suite: Supports dynamic VLAN tagging, port isolation, storm control, spanning tree protocols (STP/RSTP), static link aggregation, and port mirroring.
Silent & Efficient Thermal Design: Engineered for near-silent operation with optimized passive and dynamic thermal dissipation.
Centralized UniFi Management: Allows full remote provisioning, configuration backup, and firmware deployment through the intuitive UniFi Network application.
1U Rack-Mountable Form Factor: Includes removable SGCC steel rack-mount brackets for standard 19" equipment rack installations.
