  • 48 high-speed 2.5 GbE ports deliver 160 Gbps non-blocking throughput
  • 720 W PoE budget powers 48 PoE+ devices at up to 34 W each
  • Four 10 GbE SFP+ uplinks provide 320 Gbps switching capacity
  • Layer 3 routing with static routes, DHCP relay and ACLs isolates traffic
  • 3 inch LCM touchscreen enables local configuration and monitoring

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.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box with the USW-Enterprise-48-PoE and do I need to buy SFP+ modules separately?

The package includes the switch and rackmount hardware. The four 10G SFP+ ports require compatible transceivers or direct-attach cables, which are sold separately.

Should I choose this 720 W model or a lower-budget version for 48 ports of 2.5 GbE PoE+?

This model provides a 720 W PoE budget with up to 34 W per port, supporting the full complement of 48 PoE+ devices simultaneously.

What does the 320 Gbps switching capacity mean for real-world throughput on the 2.5 GbE and 10G ports?

The non-blocking fabric delivers 160 Gbps total throughput, allowing all 48 ports at 2.5 GbE and four 10G uplinks to run at line rate without congestion.
