Overview
Overview
The Ubiquiti UniFi Pro XG 48 PoE is the high-density version of the Pro XG PoE family — a professional-grade 1U rack-mount Layer 3 switch combining 48-port PoE+++ delivery with 10 GbE access ports, 25G SFP28 uplinks, and Etherlighting™. All 48 data ports support PoE+++ (up to 90W per port), providing enough power for the latest Wi-Fi 7 access points, PoE++ cameras, and high-power devices without compromise.
Thirty-two 10 GbE RJ45 ports, sixteen 2.5 GbE RJ45 ports, and four 25G SFP28 uplinks deliver 920 Gbps switching capacity with 460 Gbps non-blocking throughput. An internal 1,350W PSU powers the switch and 1,080W PoE budget, with USP RPS DC backup input for added resilience. Layer 3 features include DHCP server, inter-VLAN routing, and static routing. NDAA compliant, CE/FCC/IC certified.

Software
Managed by UniFi Network
The USW-Pro-XG-48-POE is fully managed through the UniFi Network application — the same centralised platform used across the entire UniFi ecosystem. Configure VLANs, PoE schedules, port profiles, inter-VLAN routing, and Layer 3 features from a single interface with no per-device licensing fees.
Core management capabilities
- Port management — configure speed, PoE output, VLAN assignment, and port profiles per port from the UniFi dashboard.
- PoE scheduling — set time-based PoE on/off schedules per port to manage power consumption and device uptime.
- Layer 3 routing — configure DHCP server, DHCP relay, inter-VLAN routing, and static routes directly in UniFi Network.
- VLAN configuration — create and manage VLANs and 802.1Q tagging across all ports.
- Remote monitoring — real-time port statistics, power draw per port, and switch health visible from anywhere via UniFi Cloud.
- Pro AV profiles — one-click network optimisation for Dante, NDI, Q-SYS, and other professional AV protocols.
- Firmware updates — push updates remotely without on-site access.
