Ubiquiti EdgeSwitch 48-Port Lite Managed Gigabit Switch
The Ubiquiti EdgeSwitch 48 Lite (ES-48-Lite) is a managed Gigabit switch delivering 70 Gbps non-blocking throughput. With forty-eight Gigabit ports, dual SFP+ and dual SFP uplinks, it provides enterprise-class switching for large networks without PoE power overhead.Overview
The EdgeSwitch 48 Lite extends Ubiquiti's high-port-count switching platform to environments where PoE is unnecessary, delivering maximum switching performance at lower power consumption and cost. Its dual SFP+ optical uplinks enable 10 Gigabit aggregation, making it ideal for large office buildings, data centres, and carrier networks focused on throughput rather than powered device support.

FAQ
What is the advantage of SFP+ uplinks over traditional SFP?
SFP+ ports deliver up to 10 Gbps, ten times the capacity of standard Gigabit SFP ports, critical for high-capacity aggregation roles.
Can the SFP+ ports be downgraded to SFP for cost savings?
Yes, SFP+ ports accept standard Gigabit SFP modules, though throughput will be limited to 1 Gbps. Verify module compatibility before use.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why would a large organization choose the 48-port Lite version over the PoE-equipped model?
If your office already has PoE injectors or separate power systems for access points and cameras, the Lite model eliminates redundant PoE hardware, lowering cost and power consumption while providing the same high port density and managed switching features.
How does 70 Gbps throughput impact network performance across 48 ports?
Non-blocking 70 Gbps throughput means all 48 ports can operate simultaneously at full Gigabit speeds without internal bottlenecks, supporting heavy data transfers and concurrent user traffic across your entire network.
What options do I have for connecting remote locations or data centers via this switch?
The dual SFP+ and dual SFP uplinks provide multiple fiber connection options, enabling you to build resilient multi-path topologies linking remote offices, data centers, or cloud infrastructure without distance limitations.
Can I use VLANs and security policies with this managed switch?
Yes, the ES-48-Lite is a fully managed switch supporting VLANs, firewall policies, QoS, and port mirroring, enabling granular traffic segmentation and security enforcement across your enterprise network.
Is this switch suitable for backbone or core network roles?
Absolutely; its 48-port capacity, high throughput, and multiple fiber uplinks make it well-suited for core switching roles aggregating traffic from multiple access switches or distribution layers.
How can I interconnect multiple EdgeSwitch 48-Lite units for redundancy?
Using the four uplink ports for SFP connections, you can create spanning tree topologies with multiple switches, providing redundant paths and automatic failover if a single switch or link fails.
