Voltage is dependent on a reference. If I have a 12 volt battery, and ground the - side, it is 12 volts to ground. If I instead ground the + side, it is -12 volts to ground.

-48 volt telecom equipment is simply referenced to ground "upside down" or backwards, giving it a negative sign.

Why -48 volts is used in electronics?

-48V is used in the telecommunication equipment. The source of the -48V is a bank backup batteries that are always kept charged in the event of power loss. The typical range of voltage is -36V to -60V in this application. Why negative voltage is used is probably tradition as the modern power supplies that use this voltage are isolated and run the same as long as the positive terminal is 48V above the negative terminal.
