The Ubiquiti Pro XG 48 (USW-Pro-XG-48) is a professional-grade, high-performance Layer 3 Ethernet switch designed for enterprise and large-scale network environments. It features 48 total ports with a versatile mix of connectivity options: 32 x 10 GbE RJ45 ports supporting speeds of 10G/5G/2.5G/1G/100M/10M, 16 x 2.5 GbE RJ45 ports with 2.5G/1G/100M/10M speeds, and 4 x 25G SFP28 uplink ports supporting 25G/10G/1G capabilities. The device supports advanced Layer 3 switching including inter-VLAN routing, DHCP server, relay for local networks, and static routing.

A standout feature is the intuitive Etherlighting™ port illumination system, which visually indicates port location, link speed, and native VLAN/network information, simplifying network management and troubleshooting. The Pro XG 48 is rack-mountable (1U form factor) with dimensions of 442 × 480 × 44 mm, making it suitable for integration into standard server racks.

In terms of performance, it boasts a high switching capacity of 920 Gbps, non-blocking throughput of 460 Gbps, and a forwarding rate of 684 million packets per second (Mpps). The switch handles large-scale deployments with fat tables and buffers including a MAC address table with 128,000 entries, ARP table for 128,000 entries, IPv4 routing table up to 256,000 entries, and an 8 MB packet buffer. VLAN support is robust, capable of managing up to 1,000 VLANs.

Additionally, the Pro XG 48 is DC power backup ready, compatible with UniFi’s redundant power solutions for enhanced reliability and uptime. This switch is ideal for demanding network infrastructures requiring high throughput, extensive Layer 3 capabilities, and advanced network visibility through Etherlighting integration.
