48-Port Gigabit Managed PoE+ Switch with SFP Uplinks for Mid-Size Deployments
The Ubiquiti UniFi Switch 48 PoE (USW-48-PoE) is a managed 48-port Gigabit switch with PoE+ output and four SFP uplink ports. It provides a 195W PoE budget for powering access points, cameras, and VoIP phones across all 48 ports, with SFP fiber uplinks connecting back to the network core.

It provides Layer 2 switching with full UniFi management including VLANs, port isolation, storm control, and spanning tree. For deployments that need 48 managed PoE ports without Layer 3 routing or 10G uplinks, this switch delivers reliable switching at an accessible price point. Managed through UniFi Network.
