Ubiquiti USW-48-POE UniFi 48-Port PoE+ Gigabit Switch
The Ubiquiti USW-48-POE UniFi is a 48-port managed switch designed for businesses and larger networks that need to power and connect multiple devices over Ethernet. It combines 32 PoE+ ports for powering devices like cameras and IP phones with 16 standard Gigabit ports and four fiber uplink ports, all cooled silently without a fan.
Why this product
32 PoE+ ports, 32W each
Powers up to 32 compatible devices simultaneously with 195W total PoE capacity. Each port delivers up to 32W, enough for high-power cameras, access points, and IP phones.
Fanless, silent operation
No moving parts means it runs completely silent, making it suitable for offices and open workspaces where noise matters.
Layer 2 managed switching
Full control via the UniFi Network Controller for traffic optimization, VLAN support, and network monitoring across all ports.
Four fiber uplink ports
1G SFP ports allow long-distance, high-interference-resistant connections to other switches or network infrastructure.
1.3" LCD touchscreen
On-device display shows switch status and diagnostics without needing to log into software.

- Works with any 802.3af/at (PoE+) compliant device: security cameras, IP phones, wireless access points, and powered switches.
- Managed through the Ubiquiti UniFi Network Controller software, which runs on Windows, Mac, Linux, or hosted in the cloud.
- Mounts in a standard 19" server rack or sits on a desktop, fitting flexible deployment scenarios.
- Fanless design means no active cooling; operates best in environments below typical office temperatures to avoid thermal throttling under sustained maximum load.
Best for
- Offices and businesses expanding network capacity for computers, printers, cameras, and phones.
- Silent installations where fan noise is unacceptable, such as recording studios, libraries, or open workspaces.
- Networks requiring centralized power delivery to dozens of devices via a single switch.
- Deployments needing fiber uplinks for distance or noise immunity between buildings or floors.
Trade-offs
- High-traffic data center or video streaming environments. Layer 2 switching lacks the advanced routing and QoS features needed for complex traffic engineering.
- Setups requiring more than 195W of total PoE power output across all ports simultaneously.
- Networks needing 10 Gbps or faster uplinks. All ports are limited to 1 Gbps.
- Installations in hot server rooms or enclosed spaces without good airflow. Fanless cooling is passive only.
A 48-port, Layer 2 PoE switch with a silent, fanless cooling system.
