Ubiquiti UniFi Switch Pro XG 48 PoE (USW-Pro-XG-48-PoE)
The Switch Pro XG 48 PoE is a professional-grade, 48-port Layer 3 Etherlighting PoE+++ switch from Ubiquiti. All thirty-two 10 GbE and sixteen 2.5 GbE RJ45 ports deliver PoE+++ at up to 90W each, with 1,080W of total PoE on 200–240V AC, and four 25G SFP28 ports handle uplinks. Etherlighting ports light up to show port location, speed/link and native VLAN. It mounts in one 1U rack space, is ready for DC power backup with a UniFi RPS, and is managed in the UniFi Network application, version 9.1.120 and later.
Quick Glance
Key Features
PoE+++ on all 48 RJ45 ports, 1,080W total
Every RJ45 port delivers up to PoE+++ (802.3bt Type 4, Class 8): 90W per port at PoE+++, 60W at PoE++, 30W at PoE+ and 15.4W at PoE. Total PoE availability is 1,080W on 200–240V AC or 972W on 100–120V AC, from an internal 1,350W power supply.
10 GbE, 2.5 GbE and 25G SFP28 at 920 Gbps
Thirty-two RJ45 ports run at 10G, 5G, 2.5G, 1G, 100M or 10M and sixteen at 2.5G, 1G, 100M or 10M, with four SFP28 ports at 25G, 10G or 1G. Ubiquiti rates switching capacity at 920 Gbps, non-blocking throughput at 460 Gbps and the forwarding rate at 684 Mpps, with an 8 MB packet buffer.
Etherlighting and Layer 3 in UniFi Network
Etherlighting ports illuminate to show port location, speed/link and native VLAN/network. Managed from UniFi Network (9.1.120 and later), it adds inter-VLAN and static routing (512 IPv4 static routes), a DHCP server and relay, 1,000 VLANs, QoS (DSCP), Pro AV profiles including Dante, Q-SYS and NDI, 802.1X control and ACLs.
Detailed Specifications
Specifications are from Ubiquiti's official tech specs and store listing for the Switch Pro XG 48 PoE (USW-Pro-XG-48-PoE). Total PoE availability is 1,080W on 200–240V AC and 972W on 100–120V AC. The UniFi RPS and Etherlighting Patch Cables are separate products. Ubiquiti does not state the power cord or plug type supplied. Ubiquiti may update specifications without notice.
Need-to-Know
- Total PoE availability depends on the input voltage: 1,080W on 200–240V AC and 972W on 100–120V AC. Each RJ45 port supplies up to 90W, but the combined draw must stay within that total.
- The UniFi Network application must be version 9.1.120 or later for this switch - a later version than the non-PoE Switch Pro XG 48 needs.
- For the clearest Etherlighting, Ubiquiti recommends pairing the switch with UniFi Etherlighting Patch Cables, which are a separate product.
- DC power backup needs a UniFi RPS, which is a separate product. The switch itself has one internal power supply on 100–240V AC. Ubiquiti does not state the power cord or plug type supplied.
- Ubiquiti specifies 482.6 mm (19") four-post racks with post depths from 600 to 1,066 mm. The RJ45 ports do not support 10/100M half-duplex. Ubiquiti rates the ambient operating temperature at -5 to 40° C. In UAE comms rooms or cabinets that run hotter than that, plan for cooling.
