The Ubiquiti UniFi USW-Pro-Max-48 is a flagship 48-port Layer 3 Etherlighting™ switch engineered for large-scale enterprise environments demanding high-speed, multi-gigabit wired connectivity. Designed to future-proof growing networks, the switch delivers full 2.5 GbE throughput across all 48 RJ45 ports, offering exceptional aggregate capacity and low-latency performance for high-density deployments such as smart offices, educational campuses, broadcast studios, or data-heavy production networks.
At the heart of the USW-Pro-Max-48 is Ubiquiti’s Etherlighting™ system—dynamic LED indicators placed above each port that visually represent real-time port activity, link speed, and traffic utilization. This intuitive feature simplifies diagnostics and network maintenance, allowing administrators to spot issues or usage spikes without even logging into the controller.
This enterprise-grade switch supports advanced Layer 3 functionality, including static routing, inter-VLAN communication, and DHCP relay, allowing for sophisticated traffic segmentation and internal routing. The result is a highly adaptable switch that can support complex, scalable network designs while maintaining top-tier performance across all segments.
Fanless thermal design ensures silent operation, enabling use in open office plans, sound-sensitive installations, or exposed rack systems. The USW-Pro-Max-48 supports PoE on select models (USW-Pro-Max-48-PoE), offering power delivery to access points, IP phones, or other networked devices without the need for additional wiring or power supplies.
Designed with flexibility and uptime in mind, the USW-Pro-Max-48 supports dual power inputs, including traditional AC power and redundant DC power through UniFi SmartPower RPS. This adds a layer of failover protection for critical infrastructure, ensuring network continuity even in the event of a power disruption.
Management is fully centralized via the UniFi Network Controller, where users can configure port settings, VLANs, routing policies, and monitor traffic in real-time. Integration with UniFi’s ecosystem ensures seamless communication between access points, gateways, and switches, streamlining operations and simplifying scalability.
With a sleek, rack-mountable form factor, massive switching capacity, and an intelligent visual feedback system, the USW-Pro-Max-48 is purpose-built for organizations that cannot compromise on performance, security, or reliability. Whether you are running dozens of access points, supporting large-scale AV systems, or managing high-throughput storage servers, this switch delivers the power, intelligence, and control needed for modern network demands.
