Switch Pro 48 PoE is a UniFi Layer 3 switch for a 19-inch rack with many PoE ports, PoE++ for power-hungry devices, SFP+ ports and a screen on the front.

Who it suits

Suits larger offices, schools and premises where many wired workstations and PoE devices, such as access points, cameras and phones, come together in the same network cabinet. It can be the central switch behind the gateway, or one of several switches linked with fiber over the SFP+ ports, for example one per floor or building. There is also a connector for redundant power (RPS) for those who want extra reliability.

The Layer 3 features are a DHCP server, DHCP relay, inter-VLAN routing and static routing.
Has a built-in 368 Wh lithium-ion battery that keeps the PoE ports running during a power outage. An external 48 V DC battery can be connected for longer runtime but is not included.
Has two AC outlets (230 V) on the back for devices such as a modem and a gateway.
The PoE budget is shared between the four PoE+ ports and the four PoE++ ports (up to 60 W per port). The ninth port is an uplink without PoE.
