Ubiquiti USW-Pro-XG-48 48-Port 10G/2.5G Layer 3 Etherlighting Switch
Overview
The Ubiquiti USW-Pro-XG-48 is a 48-port Layer 3 managed switch designed for high-density enterprise network deployments. It combines 32 multi-gigabit 10GbE RJ45 ports, 16 2.5GbE RJ45 ports, and four 25G SFP28 ports in a 1U rack-mount chassis.
Port Connectivity
The switch provides 32 RJ45 ports supporting 10G, 5G, 2.5G, 1G, 100M, and 10M operation, plus 16 RJ45 ports supporting 2.5G, 1G, 100M, and 10M. Four SFP28 ports support 25G, 10G, and 1G connections for high-speed uplinks and aggregation.
Switching and Layer 3
The USW-Pro-XG-48 provides 920 Gbps switching capacity, 460 Gbps total non-blocking throughput, and a 684 Mpps forwarding rate. Layer 3 functions include local DHCP server, DHCP relay, inter-VLAN routing, and static routing. The switch supports up to 1,000 VLANs, 32,000 MAC addresses, and 512 IPv4 static routes.
Management and Protection
The switch supports Etherlighting™, LACP, STP and RSTP, IGMP snooping, 802.1X control, DHCP snooping and guarding, access control lists, port isolation, port mirroring, storm control, multicast and broadcast rate limiting, jumbo frames, LLDP-MED, voice VLAN, and loop protection. Management requires UniFi Network version 9.0.114 or later.
Key Features
- 32 × 10GbE and 16 × 2.5GbE RJ45 ports
- 4 × 25G/10G/1G SFP28 ports
- 920 Gbps switching capacity and 460 Gbps non-blocking throughput
- Layer 3 inter-VLAN routing, DHCP relay, and static routing
- 1U rack-mount chassis with Etherlighting™ and USP RPS DC backup input
Applications
The USW-Pro-XG-48 is intended for enterprise access, aggregation, and high-bandwidth rack deployments requiring multi-gigabit Ethernet and 25G uplink connectivity. It can be deployed where Layer 3 switching, VLAN segmentation, high-density RJ45 connectivity, and fiber uplinks are required.
DC Supplies Product Note
Confirm rack depth, AC power availability, SFP28 transceiver or direct-attach cable requirements, and UniFi Network software compatibility before deployment. The switch supports a USP RPS DC input for power backup and has a maximum power consumption of 250W.
