Ubiquiti usw-pro-max-48 48-port Managed Switch

Product Description

The UBIQUITI usw-pro-max-48 is a 48-port Layer 3 managed switch built around Ubiquiti Etherlighting technology. It combines 16 ports running at 2.5 gigabits per second with 32 standard gigabit Ethernet ports and 4 10G SFP+ uplink ports for high-bandwidth aggregation. The illuminated RJ45 ports display port location, link speed, and native VLAN assignment at a glance, reducing troubleshooting time in dense patch environments. DC power backup input is included for integration with redundant power setups. Management is handled through UniFi Network software version 8.0.24 or later. IT professionals and network installers deploy this switch in structured cabling environments that demand visual port identification alongside multi-gigabit performance.

This switch suits commercial and enterprise network deployments where a mix of 1 GbE and 2.5 GbE end-device connections is required at the access layer. It fits standard rack installations and operates within the UniFi Network ecosystem. The 10G SFP+ uplink ports support high-throughput connections to core or distribution switches. For full Etherlighting brightness performance on illuminated ports, Ubiquiti Etherlighting Patch Cables are recommended. The switch is managed centrally through UniFi Network 8.0.24 and later, making it suitable for sites already running UniFi controllers.

Key Features

• 48 total RJ45 ports: 16 ports at 2.5 GbE and 32 ports at 1 GbE
• 4 x 10G SFP+ uplink ports for high-bandwidth backbone connections
• Etherlighting per-port LED illumination indicates location, speed/link, and native VLAN
• Layer 3 switching capability for inter-VLAN routing at the access layer
• DC power backup input ready for redundant power source integration
• Managed via UniFi Network 8.0.24 or later

Compatibility

Managed with UniFi Network 8.0.24 and later. Etherlighting port illumination brightness is optimized when paired with UniFi Etherlighting Patch Cables.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified network technician familiar with Layer 3 switch configuration and structured cabling standards. Power down any connected devices or confirm proper failover before servicing the switch or its uplinks. Rack mounting should follow standard 19-inch rack practices and EIA-310 guidelines. Configure VLANs, routing, and port profiles through the UniFi Network controller before bringing end devices online to avoid unintended network topology changes.
