Ubiquiti UniFi Switch Pro 48 Layer 3 Managed Gigabit Switch (USW-PRO-48)

The Ubiquiti UniFi Switch Pro 48 (USW-PRO-48) is a premium, fully managed Layer 3 switch engineered to deliver high-density access layer performance and robust aggregation capabilities for large-scale enterprise networks. Outfitted with 48 Gigabit RJ45 ports and four high-speed 10G SFP+ uplink interfaces, this 1U rack-mountable appliance offers a massive 176 Gbps switching capacity to facilitate seamless, unthrottled data backhauls to core servers or storage systems. Moving beyond basic Layer 2 management, the Switch Pro 48 supports advanced Layer 3 routing logic—including inter-VLAN routing, static routes, and dedicated DHCP server assignment. With its innovative near-silent cooling configuration and automated power redundancy features, it provides a stable and whisper-quiet routing core for demanding corporate IT environments.

Please Note: This is a non-PoE network switch designed purely for high-density data routing, server distribution layers, and patch panel consolidation. If you require Power over Ethernet to drive IP cameras or wireless access points, please see the USW-PRO-48-POE model instead.

Key Features

• High-Density Gigabit Connectivity: Features 48 line-rate 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ45 ports alongside four 10G SFP+ ports, supporting strategic link aggregation (LACP) for expanded system bandwidth.

• Advanced Layer 3 Routing Intelligence: Offloads routine packet routing from your primary security gateway by processing inter-VLAN traffic, static routing entries, and local DHCP pools directly at the hardware layer.

• Near-Silent Airflow Engineering: Built with a sophisticated thermodynamic layout that drastically reduces internal fan usage, ensuring the device remains practically silent even when running at peak packet-forwarding limits.

• Automated SmartPower RPS Protection: Outfitted with a standard universal AC mains input and a secondary UniFi SmartPower RPS DC connector to guard against internal power supply failure and maintain uptime.

• 1.3-Inch Colour Touchscreen Telemetry: Features a front-facing crisp colour LCM touchscreen that shows system status, link speeds, connection metrics, and supports instant Augmented Reality (AR) switch port mapping via your smartphone camera.
