Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between USW-Pro-Max-48-PoE and USW-Pro-Max-48?

The USW-Pro-Max-48-PoE adds PoE+ (32 ports at 30W) and PoE++ (16 ports at 60W) power delivery for a total PoE budget of up to 600W, while the USW-Pro-Max-48 is non-PoE. Choose the PoE model when powering APs, cameras, or other PoE devices; choose the non-PoE model for environments where all devices use separate power adapters.

Which ports on USW-Pro-Max-48-PoE support PoE++?

Ports 33–48 (the last 16 copper ports) support PoE++ at up to 60W per port for IEEE 802.3bt Type 3/4 devices such as high-power PTZ cameras, advanced APs, and PoE-powered workstations. Ports 1–32 deliver standard PoE+ at up to 30W per port.

Does the USW-Pro-Max-48-PoE support 2.5GbE on all 48 copper ports?

Yes — all 48 copper ports on the USW-Pro-Max-48-PoE support 1/2.5GbE auto-negotiation regardless of PoE class. Both PoE+ and PoE++ ports deliver multi-gig 2.5GbE simultaneously with power delivery, enabling high-throughput Wi-Fi 6E APs and PoE devices on the same ports.

The Ubiquiti UniFi USW-Pro-Max-48-PoE delivers 48-port multi-gig PoE access with 32 x PoE+ and 16 x PoE++ ports, 600W total PoE budget, and unified UniFi management — providing the high-power multi-gig PoE access layer for Wi-Fi 6E deployments, 802.3bt devices, and 2.5GbE endpoints in UniFi-managed enterprise and SMB campus networks.
