FAQs
How many PoE+ ports does the USW-48-POE have?
The switch features 32 PoE+ ports capable of delivering up to 802.3at power. With a total PoE budget of 195W, it can power multiple high-demand devices simultaneously, though the exact number depends on individual device power requirements.
Can this switch be used in a UniFi network?
Yes. The USW-48-POE integrates fully with Ubiquiti's UniFi ecosystem, allowing centralised management alongside UniFi access points, security gateways, and IP cameras through the UniFi Controller software.
What are the SFP ports used for?
The 4× 1G SFP uplink ports support fibre optic connectivity, useful for high-bandwidth aggregation links, long-distance site-to-site connections, or future scalability without replacing the entire switch.
Is this switch suitable for a data centre environment?
Yes. The fanless design makes it ideal for data centres and server rooms where acoustic performance is important. It provides reliable Layer 2 switching with sufficient PoE capacity for powered network devices.
What is the difference between the PoE and PoE+ ports?
All 32 PoE ports on this switch support 802.3at PoE+ standard, which delivers higher power than standard PoE. The remaining 16 ports are standard Gigabit Ethernet without PoE capability.
How is this switch managed and configured?
The switch features a touch display for local management access and integrates with the UniFi Controller software for centralised network-wide configuration, monitoring, and updates.
What is the warranty period?
The USW-48-POE comes with a 12-month manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship.
