Pro Max 16 PoE identity

The Ubiquiti Pro Max 16 PoE is a 16-port Layer 3 managed switch with 42 Gbps non-blocking throughput and 84 Gbps switching capacity. It provides 12 GbE PoE+ ports, 4 2.5 GbE PoE++ ports and 2 10G SFP+ uplinks. Etherlighting ports illuminate to show link status and native VLAN. The fanless desktop chassis also supports wall and rack mounting.

Pre-deployment checks

Verify that connected devices accept PoE+ or PoE++ power on RJ45 ports before enabling power. Confirm the 180 W total PoE budget covers the combined draw of all powered endpoints. Ensure SFP+ modules match the 10G speed required for uplinks. Plan VLAN and static routing configuration using the Layer 3 feature set for inter-VLAN traffic.

Thermals and power

The silent fanless cooling system dissipates heat without audible noise in normal operation. Total PoE availability is capped at 180 W across all 16 powered ports. Switching capacity of 84 Gbps and a forwarding rate of 62.496 Mpps are sustained within the desktop form factor. Buffer memory of 1.5 MB absorbs traffic bursts without active airflow.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box with the USW-Pro-Max-16-PoE and what must I source separately?

The package includes the 16-port switch itself; SFP+ transceivers for the two 10G uplinks, rack-mount brackets and any additional cabling are sold separately.

How do I decide between the 2.5 GbE PoE++ ports and the 1 GbE PoE+ ports on this model?

Four ports deliver 2.5 GbE with PoE++ for high-power or multi-gigabit devices; twelve ports provide 1 GbE with PoE+ for standard access points and cameras.

What does the 84 Gbps switching capacity mean for real traffic through this switch?

It represents the total non-blocking fabric bandwidth; the 16 RJ45 ports plus two 10G SFP+ ports can simultaneously forward up to 42 Gbps of actual throughput.
