Overview
- The Ubiquiti Pro XG 48 PoE is a professional-grade managed switch engineered for enterprise and high-density network environments. With 32 × 10 GbE ports, 16 × 2.5 GbE PoE+++ ports, and 4 × 25G SFP28 uplinks, it provides the throughput and power delivery required for modern network infrastructure.
This switch delivers 1,080W of total PoE power, enabling simultaneous operation of 90W-capable devices across all PoE ports. The Etherlighting feature visually identifies port location, link status, speed, and VLAN assignment, reducing troubleshooting time and simplifying network management.
Designed for UniFi ecosystem integration, the Pro XG 48 PoE offers Layer 3 switching capabilities with full controller support. Its combination of high-speed uplinks, abundant PoE capacity, and management flexibility makes it suitable for data centre switching, campus backbone deployment, and large-scale unified communications infrastructure.
Optional DC power backup compatibility ensures continuity in mission-critical environments when paired with a Ubiquiti RPS (Redundant Power System).

FAQs
What is Etherlighting and how does it help network management?
Etherlighting is a visual identification technology built into each port that illuminates to indicate port location, link status, speed, and native VLAN assignment. This significantly reduces troubleshooting time and simplifies physical port identification in dense switch deployments. Optimal brightness is achieved when paired with UniFi Etherlighting Patch Cables.
Can this switch power high-wattage devices like PTZ cameras?
Yes. The Pro XG 48 PoE delivers up to 90W per port across all 48 ports (16 × 2.5 GbE and 32 × 10 GbE), with a total PoE capacity of 1,080W. This supports power-intensive devices including high-end cameras, access points, and IoT equipment simultaneously.
What are the 25G SFP28 ports used for?
The 4 × 25G SFP28 ports provide high-speed uplink connectivity for backbone and inter-switch connections. They enable faster data transfer between this switch and core infrastructure, aggregation switches, or storage systems.
Does this switch require a UniFi controller?
The switch integrates with the UniFi controller for advanced management, monitoring, and automation. It can operate in a standalone mode with basic configuration, but full Layer 3 functionality and network intelligence are optimised through controller integration.
Is power backup available for this switch?
Yes, the Pro XG 48 PoE is DC power backup ready and compatible with the UniFi RPS (Redundant Power System) for failover protection in mission-critical environments.
What is the difference between the 10 GbE and 2.5 GbE ports?
The 32 × 10 GbE ports provide 10 Gbps throughput, while the 16 × 2.5 GbE ports deliver 2.5 Gbps. All PoE ports (both 10 GbE and 2.5 GbE) support full 90W PoE+++ power delivery. The mix accommodates diverse device requirements and budget optimisation.
How many UniFi cameras can this switch support?
With 1,080W of total PoE power, the number of cameras supported depends on individual camera power consumption (typically 50–90W). As a baseline, it can simultaneously power many high-end or PTZ cameras. Consult your camera specifications and Ubiquiti sizing guides for your exact deployment.
