Pro Max 16 PoE (USW-Pro-Max-16-PoE)

The USW-Pro-Max-16-PoE (Pro Max 16 PoE) is a versatile Layer 3 Etherlighting™ managed switch combining high-power PoE++ delivery, multi-gigabit 2.5 GbE switching, dual 10G SFP+ uplinks, and innovative illuminated port identification in a flexible desktop, wall, and rack-mount form factor. Measuring 325.1 × 160 × 43.7 mm (12.8 × 6.3 × 1.7") and weighing 2.1 kg (4.6 lb), the USW-Pro-Max-16-PoE features an SGCC steel enclosure and mount, a 1.3" touchscreen LCM display, silent fanless cooling, and supports rack depths of 400–1,200 mm (15.7–47.2"). Requires UniFi Network version 8.0.24 and later.

The USW-Pro-Max-16-PoE features Etherlighting™ on both Ethernet and SFP+ ports — each port illuminates to indicate its physical location for easy identification, link speed, and native VLAN or network assignment. Pair with UniFi Etherlighting Patch Cables for optimal brightness. The switch provides (4) 2.5 GbE PoE++ ports at up to 64W per port — fully compatible with the PoE++ power requirements of UniFi U7 and E7 access points — and (12) GbE PoE+ ports at up to 32W per port, delivering 180W total PoE availability. Dual 10G SFP+ uplinks provide high-speed connectivity to core infrastructure. Switching capacity of 84 Gbps with 42 Gbps non-blocking throughput and 62 Mpps forwarding rate ensures wire-speed performance across all ports.
