Ubiquiti usw-pro-max-16-poe 16-port Poe Layer 3 Switch

Product Description

The UBIQUITI usw-pro-max-16-poe is a 16-port, Layer 3 managed network switch built around 2.5 GbE connectivity and PoE++ power delivery. It belongs to the UniFi USW Pro Max series and is designed for network engineers, IT contractors, and systems integrators who need high-throughput switching with granular Layer 3 control. The switch features Etherlighting ports that use integrated LED illumination to indicate port location, link status, connection speed, and native VLAN or network assignment at a glance. Mounting options are described as versatile, supporting flexible deployment in rack or wall scenarios. Management is handled through the UniFi controller platform.

The usw-pro-max-16-poe is suited for commercial and advanced residential network installations where 2.5 GbE throughput and PoE++ output are required at the access layer. Typical install scenarios include structured cabling deployments feeding Wi-Fi 6 or Wi-Fi 6E access points, IP cameras, VoIP endpoints, and other high-draw PoE devices. The Layer 3 feature set enables inter-VLAN routing and static routing directly on the switch without requiring a separate router for local traffic segmentation. It is managed alongside other UniFi devices through a unified controller interface.

Key Features

• 16 ports with 2.5 GbE throughput for high-bandwidth access-layer deployments
• PoE++ output supports high-draw powered devices at the port level
• Layer 3 switching enables inter-VLAN routing and static routing on the device
• Etherlighting ports illuminate to indicate port location, link speed, and native VLAN or network assignment
• Versatile mounting options for rack or alternative installation configurations
• Part of the UniFi USW Pro Max series, managed via the UniFi controller platform

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style managed switch within the Ubiquiti UniFi product ecosystem, compatible with the UniFi Network controller for configuration and monitoring alongside other UniFi switching, routing, and wireless devices.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified network technician familiar with managed Layer 3 switch configuration and structured cabling standards. Power down or disconnect any existing switching equipment before replacing or integrating this unit into a live network. Configure VLANs, routing, and PoE budgets through the UniFi controller before connecting end devices to avoid unintended network disruption. Verify total PoE load against the switch power budget before deploying multiple high-draw devices simultaneously.
