Ubiquiti usw-pro-max-16 16-port Managed Switch

Product Description

The UBIQUITI usw-pro-max-16 is a 16-port Layer 3 managed Ethernet switch designed for network professionals and structured-cabling installers. It features Etherlighting ports that illuminate to display port location, link speed, and native VLAN or network assignment at a glance. The port configuration includes 4 x 2.5 GbE RJ45 ports, 12 x 1 GbE RJ45 ports, and 2 x 10G SFP+ uplink ports, providing high-throughput backbone connectivity in a silent, fanless chassis. This switch suits high-density enterprise edge deployments and advanced home network buildouts requiring Layer 3 switching with visual port status feedback.

The usw-pro-max-16 fits residential and light commercial network installations where port-level visual identification speeds up troubleshooting and structured cabling work. It supports desktop, wall, and rack mounting configurations, with rack mounting requiring a separately purchased add-on accessory. Pairing the switch with UniFi Etherlighting Patch Cables delivers optimal Etherlighting brightness. The switch integrates into UniFi network environments and is managed through UniFi Network software, making it suitable for deployments that already leverage the UniFi controller ecosystem.

Key Features

• Etherlighting ports illuminate to indicate port location, link speed, and native VLAN or network assignment
• 4 x 2.5 GbE RJ45 ports for high-throughput edge device connections
• 12 x 1 GbE RJ45 ports for standard network device connectivity
• 2 x 10G SFP+ uplink ports for backbone or inter-switch connections
• Silent, fanless cooling system suitable for noise-sensitive environments
• Versatile mounting: desktop, wall, or rack (rack mount accessory sold separately)

Compatibility

Designed for use within UniFi network environments. Pairing with UniFi Etherlighting Patch Cables is recommended for optimal Etherlighting port illumination. Rack installation requires a separately purchased rack mount add-on accessory.

Installation Notes

Network technicians and structured-cabling installers should power down connected devices before replacing or repatching active switch ports. Follow local electrical codes when routing low-voltage cabling and ensure proper grounding when rack-mounting the unit. Wall and rack installations should be secured to structural members or rack rails rated for the equipment weight. Do not block ventilation clearances even though the unit is fanless, as passive cooling requires adequate airflow around the chassis.
