Ubiquiti USW-PRO-XG-AGGREGATION UniFi Network Switch

Ubiquiti USW-PRO-XG-AGGREGATION UniFi Network Switch

Overview

The Ubiquiti USW-PRO-XG-AGGREGATION is a 1U rack-mount aggregation switch designed for high-capacity network backbones in enterprise and campus deployments. Built on UniFi's centralized management framework, this switch delivers 1.6 Tbps of switching capacity with 800 Gbps of non-blocking throughput and a 1.2 Bpps forwarding rate—making it suitable for aggregating traffic from multiple access switches or serving as a core distribution layer in mid-to-large networks. The USW-PRO-XG-AGGREGATION operates with 32 ports of 25G SFP28 connectivity, each supporting 25G, 10G, and 1G speeds for flexible fiber uplinks and inter-switch connections.

Key Features

The switch supports up to 1,000 VLANs, enabling granular network segmentation and multi-tenant isolation. Powered by a universal 100–240V AC input with an internal 200W power supply, the unit operates efficiently within an ambient temperature range of -5 to 40°C, making it suitable for standard data center and network closet environments. The SGCC steel enclosure and mounting bracket provide durability and corrosion resistance. Management is handled via Ethernet, integrating seamlessly into UniFi's software-defined networking paradigm for centralized provisioning, monitoring, and troubleshooting. The USW-PRO-XG-AGGREGATION holds NDAA compliance and carries CE, FCC, IC, and Anatel certifications, meeting regulatory requirements across North America and beyond.

Deployment Scenarios

This switch excels in campus network cores, data center aggregation layers, and high-bandwidth interconnects between building distribution frames. Organizations can deploy the USW-PRO-XG-AGGREGATION to consolidate traffic from multiple 10G and 25G edge switches, reducing latency-sensitive workloads and providing substantial east-west throughput for server-to-server communication. In multi-building campuses, it serves as a reliable backbone for redundant fiber runs between distribution points.

Network Integration

The Ubiquiti USW-PRO-XG-AGGREGATION integrates natively with UniFi Network controllers and adopts standard Layer 2 and Layer 3 protocols for interoperability with third-party infrastructure. SFP28 ports support direct fiber connections to other vendor equipment where needed, though full feature richness and advanced insights emerge when paired with UniFi switching ecosystem components. VLAN tagging, spanning tree, and link aggregation protocols enable transparent integration into existing IP networks.

Installation Notes

The unit's compact 1U form factor (442.4 × 43.7 × 480 mm) and 7.1 kg weight simplify rack installation. Ensure adequate ventilation around intake and exhaust areas; the switch draws up to 200W at peak load. Mount using the included SGCC steel bracket and connect Ethernet management to your network. Initial configuration occurs through the UniFi Network application, which auto-discovers the device on the local segment and guides setup workflows.

Eden Phillips, Infrastructure Specialist

"The USW-PRO-XG-AGGREGATION addresses a clear need in mid-market and enterprise switching architectures. Its 1.2 Bpps forwarding rate and 800 Gbps non-blocking throughput make it a credible aggregation point, and the 32-port 25G SFP28 layout maximizes fiber density. The NDAA compliance is a significant advantage for federal and regulated sectors. Organizations moving toward 10G+ edge access should evaluate the Ubiquiti USW-PRO-XG-AGGREGATION early in their topology planning—the combination of UniFi's unified management, reasonable power envelope, and non-blocking switching capacity delivers solid infrastructure value."
