Switch Pro Max 48 is a managed UniFi switch for 19-inch racks, without PoE, with gigabit and multigigabit ports, SFP+ ports and Layer 3 routing.

Who it suits

Suits offices, schools and other organisations with many wired connections, where cables from wall outlets, computers, printers and NAS devices come together in one rack. The multigigabit ports suit computers and storage that need more than gigabit, and the SFP+ ports connect the switch to the gateway or the core of the network. With Layer 3 routing the switch can handle traffic between VLANs itself, and it is managed from UniFi Network.

Good to know

  • The switch has no PoE output, so access points and cameras need a PoE switch or a PoE injector.
  • The Etherlighting light, which shows link speed and VLAN among other things, is brightest with UniFi Etherlighting patch cables, which are sold separately.
