Ubiquiti UniFi 16-Port PoE Switch (USW-16-POE)

The Ubiquiti UniFi 16-Port PoE Switch (USW-16-POE) is a managed Gigabit PoE+ switch designed for business networks, IP surveillance, VoIP systems, wireless access points, and professional network infrastructure. It provides 16 Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 ports, including 8 PoE+ ports for delivering power and data to compatible devices over a single Ethernet cable, plus 2 1G SFP ports for uplink connectivity. With a 42W total PoE budget, Layer 2 switching capabilities, centralized UniFi Network management, fanless silent operation, and a compact 1U rack-mountable design, this switch provides reliable connectivity and efficient network management for small and medium-sized deployments.

Product Features

16-Port Gigabit Ethernet Connectivity

The USW-16-POE provides 16 RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet ports supporting 10/100/1000 Mbps network connections. The ports can be used to connect computers, servers, printers, IP cameras, wireless access points, VoIP phones, and other Ethernet-enabled devices.

8 PoE+ Ports

Eight Ethernet ports support IEEE 802.3af/at PoE+, allowing compatible devices to receive both network connectivity and electrical power through a single Ethernet cable. This simplifies installations and reduces the need for separate power adapters.

42W Total PoE Budget

The switch provides a 42W total PoE power budget for connected devices. Each PoE+ port can deliver up to 32W, subject to the overall available PoE budget.

1G SFP Uplink Ports

Two 1G SFP ports provide flexible uplink connectivity for compatible fiber or SFP connections. They can be used to connect the switch to another network switch, aggregation equipment, or fiber-based infrastructure.

36 Gbps Switching Capacity

With a 36 Gbps switching capacity, the USW-16-POE provides efficient traffic handling across its Ethernet interfaces. Its 18 Gbps non-blocking throughput supports simultaneous network traffic across connected devices.

Layer 2 Managed Switching

The switch supports advanced Layer 2 networking functions, including VLANs, LACP port aggregation, STP, RSTP, IGMP snooping, port isolation, port mirroring, storm control, flow control, and traffic rate limiting.

UniFi Network Management

Integration with the UniFi Network platform enables centralized configuration and monitoring. Administrators can manage switch ports, VLANs, connected devices, network settings, firmware, and device status from a unified management interface.

Fanless Silent Cooling

The fanless cooling design provides quiet operation, making the switch suitable for offices, classrooms, retail environments, and other installations where low operating noise is important.

1U Rack-Mount Design

The compact 1U chassis is designed for installation in standard network racks and cabinets, helping maximize available rack space while maintaining an organized network infrastructure.

Integrated Touchscreen Display

The built-in 1.3-inch touchscreen provides convenient access to switch information and device status directly from the front of the unit.

VLAN and Network Segmentation

Support for up to 1,000 VLANs, voice VLAN, IGMP snooping, and traffic-management functions allows administrators to create segmented networks for different users, devices, services, and applications.

Network Security and Access Control

The switch includes features such as 802.1X control, MAC-based ACLs, IP-based ACLs, DHCP snooping and guarding, port isolation, device isolation, MAC address blocking, and network access controls to help protect and manage connected devices.
