Deployment / Use Cases
This switch is particularly well-suited for small to medium business networks where a balance of port density, speed tiers, and management capabilities is required. Its 2.5GbE ports make it ideal for connecting modern workstations, NAS devices, or access points that benefit from speeds beyond standard Gigabit Ethernet.
The dual 10GbE SFP+ uplinks enable high-speed connections to core switches, servers, or storage arrays, preventing bottlenecks in aggregated traffic scenarios. The fanless design makes it appropriate for office environments, classrooms, or retail locations where silent operation is preferred.
Office Network Core
Serve as the central switching point for an office network, connecting computers, printers, phones, and wireless access points with appropriate speed tiers for each device type.
Edge Distribution Switch
Deploy at network edge locations to aggregate connections from multiple devices and provide high-speed uplinks back to the main network infrastructure via fiber or DAC cables.
Physical Profile
The switch measures 1.72 inches in height (1U equivalent), 12.80 inches in width, and 6.30 inches in depth, with a weight of approximately 4.30 pounds. Its low-profile design allows for flexible placement options, whether on a desktop, mounted on a wall, or installed in a shallow network cabinet. The galvanized steel chassis provides robust protection while aiding in passive cooling.

FAQ
What are the exact port configurations on this Ubiquiti switch?
The USW-PRO-MAX-16 provides 16 total network ports: 12 standard Gigabit Ethernet RJ-45 ports, 4 enhanced 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet RJ-45 ports, and 2 SFP+ slots that support 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections. This hybrid configuration allows you to connect a variety of devices at appropriate speed tiers while providing high-speed uplink options.
Does this switch support Power over Ethernet (PoE)?
No, this specific model does not provide Power over Ethernet capabilities. It is a non-PoE switch designed for data connectivity only. If you require PoE to power devices like access points or IP phones, you would need to consider a different model in Ubiquiti's lineup that includes PoE support.
What does Layer 3 switching capability provide?
Layer 3 switching enables the device to perform basic routing functions between VLANs and IP subnets without requiring a separate router. This allows for more efficient network segmentation, improved traffic management between departments or zones, and reduced latency for inter-VLAN communication compared to traditional router-on-a-stick configurations.
Can I use fiber optic connections with this switch?
Yes, the two SFP+ slots support fiber optic transceivers for 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections. You can use appropriate SFP+ modules to connect via single-mode or multi-mode fiber, enabling longer distance connections (up to kilometers with single-mode) between switches or to servers/storage devices in different locations.
What are the physical dimensions and mounting options?
The switch measures 1.72" high × 12.80" wide × 6.30" deep (43.70 × 325.10 × 160 mm) and weighs approximately 4.30 pounds (1950 g). It supports both desktop placement and wall mounting, with the necessary hardware included in the package. The compact size makes it suitable for space-constrained installations.
How is this switch managed and configured?
As a fully manageable switch, it can be configured through a web interface, command line interface (CLI), or network management software. It supports standard management protocols and offers features like VLAN configuration, QoS settings, port monitoring, and IEEE 802.1x authentication for secure network access control.
