Overview
- The Ubiquiti UniFi USW-Pro-Max-48-PoE is a professional-grade Layer 3 network switch purpose-built for organisations deploying large UniFi ecosystems. It combines 48 ports of switching capacity with 720W of Power over Ethernet, enabling simultaneous connection and powering of dozens of access points, IP cameras, and IoT devices without requiring separate power infrastructure.
The switch offers flexible connectivity with 16 × 2.5 GbE ports (including 8 PoE+ and 8 PoE++ ports), 32 × 1 GbE ports (with 24 PoE+ and 8 PoE++ ports), and 4 × 10G SFP+ ports for high-speed uplinks to core infrastructure. Etherlighting illuminates each port to show link status, speed, and native VLAN, simplifying network troubleshooting and management on crowded patch panels.
Designed for rack mounting in data centre environments, the switch includes DC power backup readiness for continuity during mains failures. Its Layer 3 routing capabilities enable advanced network segmentation and traffic management across larger deployments.

FAQs
How much PoE power does the USW-Pro-Max-48-PoE deliver?
The switch provides 720W of total PoE power, distributed across its ports. This allows simultaneous powering of multiple high-power devices such as access points, IP cameras, and wireless controllers.
What is the difference between the 2.5 GbE and 1 GbE ports?
The 16 × 2.5 GbE ports support faster data transfer speeds compared to standard 1 GbE ports, making them ideal for high-bandwidth devices or access points. The 32 × 1 GbE ports provide standard gigabit connectivity for devices not requiring the extra speed.
Can this switch be managed via the UniFi Controller?
Yes, the USW-Pro-Max-48-PoE integrates fully with the UniFi Network Controller, allowing centralised management, monitoring, and configuration of the switch alongside other UniFi devices.
What are the 10G SFP+ ports used for?
The 4 × 10G SFP+ ports provide high-speed uplinks to core network infrastructure, servers, or other 10 Gigabit switches, ensuring minimal bottlenecks for traffic flowing through the access switch.
Is this switch suitable for small business networks?
This is a professional-grade enterprise switch designed for organisations with large UniFi deployments. For small businesses, Ubiquiti offers smaller models with fewer ports and lower PoE budgets.
Does the switch support DC power backup?
The switch is DC power backup ready, meaning it can be configured to accept backup power from a DC supply during mains failure, helping maintain network continuity in critical environments.
What is Etherlighting and why is it useful?
Etherlighting is a feature that illuminates each port based on its link status, speed, and assigned VLAN. This makes it easier to visually identify active ports and troubleshoot connectivity issues on crowded patch panels.
