Ubiquiti USW-Pro-Max-16-PoE UniFi Pro Max 16 PoE Switch
The Ubiquiti USW-Pro-Max-16-PoE is a 16-port Layer 3 managed switch designed for networks that need high power delivery and visual port status. It combines 2.5 GbE and 1 GbE PoE ports with 180W total power budget, silent fanless operation, and illuminated Etherlighting ports that show network status at a glance.
Why this product
Etherlighting ports show status visually
Illuminated ports indicate link speed, port location, and native VLAN membership without needing to check a management dashboard. Pair with UniFi Etherlighting Patch Cables for optimal brightness.
180W PoE budget across mixed speeds
Four 2.5 GbE PoE++ ports deliver up to 64W each, while twelve 1 GbE PoE+ ports deliver up to 32W each, letting it power cameras, APs, and PoE devices in the same network.
Silent fanless design
No moving parts means no cooling noise, making it suitable for offices and meeting rooms where fan sound would be intrusive.
Two 10G SFP+ uplinks
Connect to backbone infrastructure or another switch at 10 Gbps without consuming regular ports, useful for high-bandwidth inter-switch traffic.
Multiple mounting forms
Works on a desktop, wall-mounted, or in a 1U rack (rack mount kit sold separately), fitting various deployment scenarios.
- Ports16 × RJ45 (4 × 2.5 GbE PoE++, 12 × 1 GbE PoE+) + 2 × 10G SFP+
- Total PoE180W
- Switching capacity84 Gbps
- CoolingFanless
- Dimensions325.1 × 160 × 43.7 mm
- Weight2.1 kg
- SKUUBI-1242
- EAN810084694572
- Supports UniFi controller software for centralized management, monitoring, and configuration across multiple switches.
- Layer 3 routing capability allows inter-VLAN communication and static route configuration for segmented networks.
- PoE output supports devices rated for PoE, PoE+, and PoE++ (15.4W, 32W, and 64W respectively).
- SFP+ ports accept 10G/1G SFP+ transceivers for fiber or direct copper connections to other switches.
- Rack mounting requires a separate accessory kit; desktop and wall mounting are supported out of the box.
Best for
- Offices and meeting rooms needing silent operation
- Networks deploying many PoE devices like cameras, APs, or VoIP phones alongside high-speed wired endpoints
- Installations requiring visual port diagnostics without management interface access
- Small to mid-scale deployments where a single 16-port switch covers most access-layer needs
- Networks that need 2.5 GbE speed for workstations without purchasing a fully 2.5 GbE chassis
Trade-offs
- Data centers or high-density deployments requiring more than 16 ports; this is a single access switch, not a core or spine platform.
- Networks needing more than 180W total PoE output; high-powered camera arrays or large AP deployments may exceed this budget.
- Deployments requiring redundant power supplies or modular chassis design; this is a fixed, single-PSU device.
- Environments exceeding 40°C ambient temperature; operating range is −5 to 40°C only.
