Description

UniFi Switch 48 PoE (USW-48-POE): Managed L2 48-Port (32× PoE+) Switch with SFP and LCM Display

The Ubiquiti UniFi Switch 48 PoE (USW-48-POE) is a high-density, fully managed Layer 2 Gigabit switch built for professional networks requiring power and flexibility. Featuring 48× Gigabit RJ45 ports — 32 with PoE+ (802.3at) — and 4× 1G SFP uplinks, it’s the ideal backbone for enterprise environments, schools, hospitality networks, hospitals, and UniFi Protect surveillance systems.

With a total PoE power budget of 195W, it easily powers WiFi 6 Access Points, UniFi cameras, VoIP phones, and IoT devices, eliminating the need for external PoE injectors or adapters.

A Scalable and Reliable PoE Switch for Modern Networks

The USW-48-POE offers centralized management through the UniFi Network application (web or mobile), allowing administrators to monitor and configure every port from anywhere. Its 1.3” color LCM touchscreen provides real-time system and port status, while AR (Augmented Reality) support via the UniFi mobile app simplifies physical identification and troubleshooting.

With full Layer 2 feature support, including VLANs, LACP, STP/RSTP, IGMP Snooping, ACLs, and 802.1X authentication, the USW-48-POE ensures performance, security, and scalability for any UniFi deployment.
