Ubiquiti ecs-48-poe 48-port Layer 3 Poe Switch 10gbe

Product Description

The UBIQUITI ecs-48-poe is an enterprise-grade, 48-port Layer 3 managed switch built for high-availability campus network deployments. It supports the EtherLighting PoE+++ standard, delivering up to 90 watts per port across all 48 ports. The switch combines 32 ports of 10 GbE RJ45 with 16 ports of 2.5 GbE RJ45, plus 4 uplink ports running 25G SFP28, providing the throughput density required for modern high-density wireless and IP device deployments. Licensed network engineers and IT infrastructure technicians are the primary installers.

This switch is suited for enterprise campus environments, higher-education facilities, large commercial buildings, and any infrastructure where high-port-count PoE delivery and multi-gigabit uplinks are required in a single chassis. The 90W per-port PoE+++ capability supports demanding powered devices such as Wi-Fi 6E access points, IP cameras with heaters, and powered display endpoints. The 25G SFP28 uplink ports allow direct fiber connectivity to core switching or aggregation layers.

Key Features

• 48 total PoE+++ ports, all rated at up to 90W per port
• 32 x 10 GbE RJ45 ports and 16 x 2.5 GbE RJ45 ports
• 4 x 25G SFP28 uplink ports for high-speed fiber aggregation
• 2 included hot-swappable power modules for redundant power operation
• 4 included hot-swappable fan modules with one spare backup fan included
• Layer 3 switching capability supports routing protocols and advanced network segmentation

Compatibility

Designed as an enterprise-grade Layer 3 PoE switch for use within campus and commercial network infrastructure supporting multi-gigabit powered devices and fiber uplink connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified network engineer or licensed low-voltage technician familiar with Layer 3 switching, structured cabling standards, and data center safety practices. Power down any upstream core switches or aggregation devices before connecting uplink fiber or making changes to live network segments. Rack mounting requires standard 19-inch rack space and adequate airflow clearance per the manufacturer guidelines. Verify power module seating and fan module insertion before energizing the unit.
