Why Choose the UniFi USW-Pro-Max-16-PoE?
Hybrid 2.5 GbE + Gigabit PoE
Twelve 1 GbE PoE+ ports and four 2.5 GbE PoE++ ports let you power and connect high-bandwidth APs, WiFi 7 access points, and cameras without a separate power run.
180 W PoE++ Power Budget
Deliver up to 64 W per PoE++ port from a 180 W total budget — enough for PTZ cameras, floodlight cams, UniFi lighting, and high-power access points.
True Layer 3 Switching
On-board inter-VLAN routing, static routes, DHCP server, and DHCP relay move routing to the switch — ideal for segmented, enterprise-grade UniFi networks.
Dual 10G SFP+ Uplinks
Two 10G SFP+ ports provide high-speed fibre or DAC uplinks to your gateway or aggregation switch, with an 84 Gbps switching capacity and 62 Mpps forwarding rate.
Etherlighting™ & LCM Touchscreen
Per-port Etherlighting™ RGB indicators visualise link speed and status, while a 1.3″ touchscreen shows live stats — making troubleshooting fast and intuitive.
Flexible Mounting
Deploy it your way — 1U rack mount, desktop, or wall mount — with a compact SGCC steel chassis that fits home labs and commercial racks alike.
Pro AV & Advanced L2 Features
Built-in Pro AV profiles (Dante, Q-SYS, NDI, SDVoE, AES67), LACP, QoS, 802.1X, IGMP snooping, ACLs, and storm control for serious networks.
NDAA Compliant
Fully NDAA Section 889 compliant for government, defence, and security-sensitive installations where supply-chain integrity is a requirement.
