USW-48-PoE is a versatile and high-performance Gigabit Layer 2 switch designed to meet the networking needs of modern enterprises. With its comprehensive feature set and robust hardware, this switch provides seamless connectivity and power supply to a wide range of devices, making it an ideal choice for businesses of all sizes. The switch comes equipped with a total of 48 Gigabit Ethernet ports, which allow for high-speed data transfer between connected devices. Out of these 48 ports, 32 are auto-sensing 802.3at PoE+ ports. This means that these ports are capable of providing power over Ethernet to compatible devices such as IP phones, wireless access points, and IP cameras, eliminating the need for separate power supplies and simplifying installation. In addition to the PoE+ ports, the USW-48-PoE also features 4 SFP (Small Form-Factor Pluggable) ports. These SFP ports provide flexibility and scalability to the network by allowing the connection of fiber optic cables for long-distance data transmission. This enables enterprises to extend their network reach and accommodate devices in remote locations without sacrificing performance. The switch offers advanced management capabilities, allowing administrators to configure and optimize network settings. It supports various Layer 2 protocols, including VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) for network segmentation and improved security, Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) for loop prevention, and Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) for aggregating multiple ports to increase bandwidth and redundancy. With its Gigabit PoE links, the USW-48-PoE ensures reliable and efficient power delivery to connected devices. The 802.3at PoE+ standard provides up to 30 watts of power per port, allowing for the connection of power-hungry devices. The switch also incorporates intelligent power management features, such as power allocation based on device requirements and prioritization of critical devices during power shortages. USW-48-PoE is built with a durable and rack-mountable design, making it suitable for deployment in data centers or network closets. Its robust construction ensures reliability and longevity, while the rack-mountable form factor allows for easy integration into existing network infrastructure. To simplify network management, the switch is compatible with UniFi Network Controller software. This intuitive software provides a centralized interface for monitoring, configuring, and managing multiple switches across the network. Administrators can easily set up VLANs, monitor network traffic, and perform firmware upgrades, among other tasks, all from a single interface. USW-48-PoE is a feature-rich and flexible Gigabit Layer 2 switch that delivers high-performance networking capabilities with power over Ethernet functionality. Whether it's powering IP devices, extending network reach with fiber optic connections, or optimizing network management, this switch offers a reliable and scalable solution for modern enterprise networks.
