Overview
- The Ubiquiti USW-Pro-Max-48 is a high-performance Layer 3 managed switch designed for enterprise and campus networks. With 48 mixed-speed ports—including 16 × 2.5 GbE, 32 × GbE, and 4 × 10G SFP+ ports—it provides flexible connectivity for diverse network requirements whilst delivering 112 Gbps of aggregate throughput.
Etherlighting™ is a key differentiator, allowing each port to illuminate with colour-coded indicators showing link status, speed, and VLAN assignment. This reduces troubleshooting time and improves network visibility, particularly in dense server or multi-tenant environments.
Fully managed through UniFi Network, the switch offers centralised control, advanced VLAN management, and detailed network monitoring. Its DC power backup capability ensures continuity in mission-critical deployments.
Ideal for growing organisations, data centres, and IT teams running UniFi infrastructure across multiple sites.

FAQs
What is Etherlighting and how does it help network management?
Etherlighting™ technology illuminates each port on the switch to indicate link status, connection speed, and native VLAN assignment. This visual feedback helps network administrators quickly identify port location, diagnose connectivity issues, and manage complex network configurations more efficiently.
Is the USW-Pro-Max-48 compatible with existing UniFi networks?
Yes, the switch is managed through UniFi Network 8.0.24 and later, making it fully compatible with existing UniFi deployments. It integrates seamlessly with other UniFi devices for centralised management across your network.
What are the 10G SFP+ ports used for?
The four 10G SFP+ ports are high-speed uplink connections suitable for connecting to core network infrastructure, storage systems, or aggregating traffic from multiple switches. They provide 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity for bandwidth-intensive applications.
Can the USW-Pro-Max-48 operate with DC power backup?
The switch is DC power backup ready, meaning it can be configured with an external DC power backup system to maintain operations during mains power failures. This is beneficial for mission-critical deployments requiring high availability.
How many devices can the switch support with its port configuration?
The 48-port configuration allows direct connection of up to 48 devices via standard Ethernet, plus four additional devices via 10G SFP+ uplink ports. This supports scalable deployments from small offices to large enterprise networks.
What throughput performance should I expect?
The USW-Pro-Max-48 delivers 112 Gbps of aggregate throughput, enabling high-performance data transfer across all connected devices simultaneously without bottlenecks.
Do I need special cables for Etherlighting to work?
Whilst Etherlighting will function with standard Ethernet cables, Ubiquiti recommends using UniFi Etherlighting Patch Cables for optimal port brightness and visibility.
