Ubiquiti Networks USW-Enterprise-48-PoE (720W) network switch

Layer 3 2.5 GbE PoE+ Switch

The Ubiquiti Networks USW-Enterprise-48-PoE is a rackmount managed switch with 48 RJ45 ports operating at 2.5 GbE and four 1/10G SFP+ uplinks. It delivers Layer 3 routing including static routes, DHCP relay and inter-VLAN routing, plus a full Layer 2 feature set such as VLANs, LACP and port isolation. Total non-blocking throughput is 160 Gbps with a 320 Gbps switching capacity and a 238.095 Mpps forwarding rate.

Networks Needing High-Density 2.5G PoE+

This switch suits deployments that need many 2.5 GbE connections with up to 34W per port and a 720W total PoE budget for cameras, access points or VoIP phones. The 1.3-inch LCM touchscreen and UniFi Network app provide local and remote management. Buyers who need only 1 GbE ports, who require more than four 10G uplinks, or who want a fanless silent design should consider other options.

720W PoE Budget Across 48 Ports

The single specification that decides fit is the 720W PoE budget shared across all 48 PoE+ ports, which limits how many devices can draw maximum power simultaneously. DC power backup readiness adds resilience for critical infrastructure. Verify the aggregate power draw of your endpoints against this budget before purchasing.
