The Ubiquiti UniFi Switch Pro Max 48 PoE (Model: USW-Pro-Max-48-PoE) represents the pinnacle of multi-gigabit Layer 3 edge-to-distribution switching within the UniFi ecosystem. Purpose-built to support high-density corporate environments, high-capacity Wi-Fi 6E/Wi-Fi 7 access point deployments, and demanding Pro AV setups, the USW-Pro-Max-48-PoE delivers ultra-high data throughput alongside an impressive 720W total Power over Ethernet (PoE) capacity.
Engineered with flexible port architecture, the switch integrates 16 x 2.5 GbE RJ45 ports alongside 32 x 1 GbE RJ45 ports and 4 x 10G SFP+ fiber ports for high-bandwidth uplinks to core network infrastructure. Its PoE power delivery is highly versatile, featuring 32 x 802.3at PoE+ ports and 16 x 802.3bt 60W PoE++ ports to easily power high-draw hardware such as pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) security cameras, door access hubs, and multi-radio access points. Designed with Ubiquiti’s innovative Etherlighting™ technology, each port housing illuminates with customizable colors to signal link speed, location, native VLAN assignment, or Pro AV profile configurations at a glance. Furthermore, Layer 3 capabilities—such as inter-VLAN routing, static routing, and DHCP server setup—ensure high-efficiency local packet switching, while redundant USP-RPS DC power input support guarantees operational continuity.
