Why Choose the Ubiquiti UniFi USW-16-POE?

Modern networks demand high-speed connectivity, centralized management, and dependable power delivery. The UniFi USW-16-POE is built to meet these requirements while offering easy scalability within the UniFi ecosystem.

Unlike unmanaged switches, this Layer 2 managed switch allows network administrators to configure VLANs, monitor traffic, manage ports, and optimize network performance from a single dashboard using the UniFi Network Controller or the UniFi Mobile App.

The result is a smarter, more efficient network that is easy to maintain whether you are managing one location or multiple branch offices.

Enterprise-Class Gigabit Performance

16 Gigabit Ethernet Ports

The switch includes:

• 8 × Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ (802.3at) ports
• 8 × Standard Gigabit Ethernet ports
• 2 × Gigabit SFP uplink ports

Every RJ45 port supports 10/100/1000 Mbps speeds, ensuring fast and reliable data transfer across your entire network.

The two dedicated SFP ports provide high-speed fiber uplinks, making it easy to connect distribution switches, core switches, or long-distance fiber links without sacrificing RJ45 ports.

Power Your Devices with PoE+

The integrated 802.3at PoE+ ports eliminate the need for separate power adapters by delivering both power and data over a single Ethernet cable.

Ideal devices include:

• UniFi WiFi Access Points
• IP Surveillance Cameras
• VoIP Phones
• Access Control Systems
• Network Bridges
• IoT Devices
• Digital Signage
• Smart Building Equipment

Using PoE significantly reduces installation costs while creating a cleaner and more organized network deployment.

Intelligent Layer 2 Network Management

The USW-16-POE is much more than a basic Ethernet switch.

Using the UniFi Network Controller, administrators gain access to advanced Layer 2 features including:

VLAN Configuration

Create secure virtual networks for departments, guests, surveillance systems, and voice traffic.

Port Profiles

Apply custom settings to individual ports for optimized device connectivity.

Link Aggregation

Increase bandwidth and redundancy by combining multiple Ethernet connections.

Port Mirroring

Monitor traffic for diagnostics, troubleshooting, and security analysis.

Network Monitoring

View real-time bandwidth usage, connected devices, switch health, and performance statistics from a centralized dashboard.

These advanced capabilities make the switch suitable for professional business environments without requiring complicated configuration.

Convenient Touchscreen Display

One standout feature of the USW-16-POE is its built-in 1.3-inch touchscreen LCM.

The display provides instant information including:

• Switch status
• Port activity
• IP address
• System health
• Network performance

This allows administrators to quickly verify system status without logging into the management interface.

Silent Fanless Operation

Unlike many enterprise switches, the USW-16-POE utilizes a fanless cooling design, making it virtually silent during operation.

This makes it ideal for:

• Executive offices
• Conference rooms
• Home offices
• Retail stores
• Reception areas
• Classrooms
• Medical facilities

The silent design improves the working environment while maintaining reliable performance.

Flexible Installation Options

The compact chassis supports multiple installation methods.

Rack Mount

Designed to fit standard 1U server racks, making it suitable for structured network cabinets.

Desktop Installation

Its slim footprint also allows convenient placement on desks or shelves where rack installation is unnecessary.

The compact depth of only 7.9 inches makes it ideal for smaller SOHO rack cabinets.

Seamless UniFi Ecosystem Integration

The USW-16-POE integrates perfectly with the complete UniFi networking platform.

Using a single interface, administrators can manage:

• UniFi Access Points
• UniFi Switches
• UniFi Gateways
• UniFi Security Gateways
• UniFi Dream Machines

The UniFi Mobile App also allows secure remote monitoring and management from virtually anywhere.
