Ubiquiti UniFi Switch Pro Max 48 PoE

The Ubiquiti UniFi Switch Pro Max 24 PoE is a high-capacity enterprise switch engineered for environments that require maximum port density, multi-gigabit performance, and massive PoE output within a single rack-mounted device. Designed for large campuses, enterprise offices, AV installations, and service providers, it consolidates data and power delivery into a highly scalable switching platform. The switch provides an extensive port configuration consisting of 32 × 1 GbE RJ45 ports supporting 10/100/1000 Mbps speeds, including 24 PoE+ ports and 8 PoE++ ports. In addition, it features 16 × 2.5 GbE RJ45 ports, evenly split between 8 PoE+ and 8 PoE++, enabling high-speed connectivity for next-generation access points, workstations, and bandwidth-intensive edge devices. For backbone and aggregation connectivity, the switch includes 4 × 10G SFP+ ports supporting both 10G and 1G operation.

Power delivery is a defining capability of this model. With support for PoE, PoE+, and PoE++ and a total available PoE budget of 720W, the switch can simultaneously power large numbers of high-consumption devices such as Wi-Fi 6E access points, PTZ cameras, access control systems, LED displays, and AV-over-IP endpoints. Each port can deliver up to 64W, allowing flexible deployment without external power sources. For business-critical environments, the switch supports DC power redundancy via USP RPS, providing additional protection against power failures. Housed in a standard 1U rack-mount form factor, the device integrates Etherlighting™, delivering intuitive visual port identification for both Ethernet and SFP+ interfaces—significantly simplifying installation, cabling, and maintenance in dense rack deployments.

At its core, the UniFi Switch Pro Max 24 PoE delivers exceptional switching and routing performance designed to support heavy east-west traffic, real-time applications, and large Layer 3 network segments. The switch offers a switching capacity of 224 Gbps and 112 Gbps of total non-blocking throughput, ensuring full-rate operation across all interfaces without congestion. With a forwarding rate of 167 million packets per second, it maintains consistently low latency even under peak traffic conditions. The switch supports up to 1,000 VLANs, enabling granular network segmentation across departments, tenants, or services. A MAC address table capable of storing 32,000 entries allows efficient handling of very large device populations, while the 2 MB packet buffer helps absorb traffic bursts and prevents packet loss during periods of congestion.

Integrated Layer 3 capabilities allow the switch to operate as a routing component within local networks. Supported features include a DHCP server, DHCP relay, inter-VLAN routing, and static routing, reducing reliance on external routers and improving overall network efficiency. The Layer 3 table supports up to 12,000 ARP entries and 12,000 IPv4 routes, making the switch suitable for complex routed environments. Advanced control and optimization are provided through IPv4 and MAC access control lists, with support for 128 entries per ACL type. Traffic prioritization is handled through QoS with DSCP, while integrated Pro AV profiles—including Dante, NDI, SDVoE, Q-SYS, AES67, Shure, Crestron, and Play—ensure predictable performance for professional audio-video workloads without manual tuning. These capabilities make the switch an ideal foundation for enterprise IT, broadcast, and high-density media networks.

The UniFi Switch Pro Max 24 PoE is designed for continuous, mission-critical operation and integrates seamlessly with UniFi Network software version 8.0.24 and later. Management is performed via Ethernet or AR, providing centralized visibility, configuration, and monitoring across the entire UniFi ecosystem. The switch incorporates a robust internal 870W AC/DC power supply and supports universal AC input from 100 to 240V at 50/60 Hz, along with a dedicated USP RPS DC input for redundant power. Maximum power consumption reaches 100W excluding PoE output and up to 820W when PoE is fully utilized, enabling stable operation even under maximum load. Heat dissipation of 341.2 BTU/hr (excluding PoE) ensures effective thermal management in high-density racks.

The enclosure and mounting hardware are constructed from industrial-grade SGCC steel, providing durability and structural stability. A 1.3-inch touchscreen LCM display on the front panel delivers real-time system and power status. Integrated ESD protection rated at ±16 kV air discharge and ±12 kV contact discharge safeguards the hardware in electrically noisy environments. The switch is rated for operation in ambient temperatures from -5 to 40 °C and humidity levels of 10–90% non-condensing. It is NDAA compliant and certified to CE, FCC, IC, and Anatel standards, making it suitable for regulated, government, and international deployments. Combined with its extensive control features and high-capacity design, the UniFi Switch Pro Max 24 PoE is a powerful, future-ready solution for large-scale enterprise networks.
