Product overview

The Ubiquiti UniFi Switch 48 (USW-48) is a managed Layer 2 Gigabit Ethernet switch designed for SMB environments. It features 48 x 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ45 ports for high-density connectivity and 4 x 1 Gbps SFP ports for fiber uplinks, enabling seamless integration with UniFi ecosystems. With a rackmount 1U form factor (442 x 285 x 44 mm), it fits standard data racks. Managed via Ethernet in-band through the UniFi Network Controller, it supports up to 1,000 VLANs, 16,000 MAC addresses, and delivers 104 Gbps switching capacity with 52 Gbps non-blocking throughput and 77 Mpps forwarding rate. The 1.5 MB packet buffer ensures low latency under load. Ideal for office networks, server rooms, and surveillance systems, it provides reliable Layer 2 switching without PoE, focusing on cost-effective Gigabit performance and scalability for growing businesses.
