Ubiquiti UniFi Pro Max 16 PoE Layer 3 Etherlighting Switch USW-PRO-MAX-16-POE
The Ubiquiti UniFi Pro Max 16 PoE is a 16 port Layer 3 Etherlighting switch with 2.5 GbE, PoE++ output, and versatile mounting options. It delivers high performance switching, intelligent port illumination, and flexible deployment for modern business networks. With 12 GbE PoE+ ports, 4 multi-gig 2.5 GbE PoE++ ports, and dual 10G SFP+ uplinks, it provides powerful connectivity backed by a 180W PoE budget and silent fanless cooling.

Description:

The UniFi Pro Max 16 PoE is designed for growing networks that demand speed, visibility, and reliable power delivery. It combines Gigabit and 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet ports with high power PoE++ support, making it ideal for WiFi access points, IP cameras, VoIP phones, and other high performance devices. Etherlighting technology simplifies cable management and troubleshooting by visually identifying port location, link speed, and VLAN assignment. With Layer 3 routing capabilities, strong security controls, and seamless integration into the UniFi ecosystem, this switch is a flexible and scalable core or edge solution for professional environments.

Features:

Advanced Multi-Gig Connectivity for Modern Networks
Built to handle increasing bandwidth demands, this UniFi Layer 3 switch supports both standard Gigabit and 2.5 GbE connections. It is well suited for high speed wireless access points, NAS devices, and workstations that benefit from multi-gig performance.

Key port configuration includes:

• 12 GbE RJ45 ports with PoE+ support
• 4 1/2.5 GbE RJ45 ports with 60W PoE++ output
• 2 10G SFP+ ports for high speed uplinks or aggregation

With a non blocking throughput of 42 Gbps and a total switching capacity of 84 Gbps, the Pro Max 16 PoE ensures smooth data flow across demanding environments.

High Power PoE with 180W Budget
Power over Ethernet simplifies deployments by delivering both data and power over a single cable. The 180W total PoE availability allows you to support multiple powered devices without additional injectors.

Per port PoE capabilities:

• PoE up to 15.4W per port
• PoE+ up to 30W per port
• PoE++ up to 60W per port

This makes the switch ideal for advanced WiFi access points, PTZ cameras, and other devices requiring higher wattage.

Etherlighting for Instant Port Identification
A standout element of the Pro Max 16 PoE is Etherlighting technology. Each port illuminates to indicate port location, speed and link status, and native VLAN or network. This visual feedback reduces configuration errors and speeds up troubleshooting, especially in dense rack or wall mounted installations.

Layer 2 and Layer 3 Network Control
Beyond basic switching, the UniFi Pro Max 16 PoE delivers advanced Layer 2 and Layer 3 capabilities, making it suitable for segmented and performance driven networks.

Layer 2 highlights include:

• IGMP snooping and multicast control
• STP and RSTP with priority settings
• LACP port aggregation
• Voice VLAN and LLDP MED
• DHCP snooping and storm control
• 802.1X authentication and MAC based restrictions

Layer 3 functionality includes:

• DHCP for locally managed networks
• DHCP relay
• Inter VLAN routing on the same switch
• Static routing between local networks
• Network isolation using ACLs

These tools provide administrators with flexible traffic management, segmentation, and enhanced security.

Performance and Hardware Design
Engineered for reliability and quiet operation, the switch features a fanless cooling system suitable for offices and noise sensitive environments. The solid SGCC steel enclosure ensures durability whether installed on a desk, wall, or rack.

Core hardware details:

• Dimensions: 325.1 x 160 x 43.7 mm
• Weight: 2.1 kg
• Power supply: 54V, 210W DC adapter
• Maximum power consumption: 30W excluding PoE output
• 1.3 inch touchscreen LCM display
• Factory reset button

Operating conditions support temperatures from -5 to 40 C and humidity levels from 10 to 90 percent noncondensing.

Flexible Installation Options
The Pro Max 16 PoE supports desktop placement, wall mounting, and rack installation, allowing it to adapt to small offices, network closets, or larger enterprise racks. Its silent design and compact footprint make it an excellent choice for both edge and core switching roles.

UniFi Network Integration
Fully managed through UniFi Network version 8.1.127 and later, the switch integrates seamlessly into existing UniFi deployments. Centralized management simplifies configuration, monitoring, firmware updates, and traffic analysis across your entire network.

For businesses seeking a powerful 16 port Layer 3 PoE switch with multi-gig support, high power PoE++, 10G uplinks, and intelligent port lighting, the Ubiquiti UniFi Pro Max 16 PoE USW-PRO-MAX-16-POE delivers performance, visibility, and scalability in a compact, professional grade design.
