Ubiquiti • Pro Max 16 PoE • EU version
A compact switch with room for faster links.
The Pro Max 16 PoE brings managed switching and device power together with 12 Gigabit RJ45 ports, 4 ports at 2.5GbE and two 10G SFP+ uplinks. A shared 180 W PoE budget supports a planned mix of powered equipment, while Etherlighting makes port identification part of everyday management. Layer 3 local-network functions complement the UniFi Network management workflow.

Ports with purpose
Put faster links where they matter.
The 16-port layout combines 12 Gigabit PoE+ ports and four 2.5GbE PoE++ ports. 2 SFP+ interfaces support 10 G or 1 G links. Allocate the faster copper ports to devices that can use them and select compatible optics or DACs for the uplinks. Port rates are link capabilities, not a guarantee of application throughput.

PoE planning
Budget for the whole installation.
A total of 12 PoE+ and 4 PoE++ ports share 180 W of available PoE output. The budget and individual PSE limits both apply. Add the required loads of cameras, access points and other powered devices before deployment; do not multiply the highest per-port rating by every port and assume that power is available.

Traffic and segmentation
Keep local networks organised.
Ubiquiti specifies 84 Gbps switching capacity, 42 Gbps total non-blocking throughput and 62 Mpps forwarding. Local inter-VLAN routing, static routing, DHCP server/relay, VLANs and access controls support a managed network design. These switch functions do not replace the separate gateway and security policy required by the site.

A more legible cabinet
Identify connections with Etherlighting.
Etherlighting illuminates Ethernet and SFP+ connections for port location and network-status work. A 1.3-inch touchscreen provides local status, while UniFi Network handles configuration. Familiar switching controls include LACP, STP/RSTP, IGMP snooping, QoS, 802.1X and port mirroring; enabled behaviour depends on the deployed software and topology.
Power and fit
Plan the enclosure and the supply.
The 325.1 ×160 ×43.7 mm enclosure supports desktop or wall placement. Rack use needs the add-on Rack Mount accessory; it is not assumed included. Power comes through an external 210 W adapter, with a specified 50–54 V DC range at the switch. Device consumption is 25 W excluding PoE output.
Managed installation
Match software, cabling and environment.
The manufacturer lists UniFi Network 8.1.127 or later as the application requirement for this model; check the deployed release before adoption. Use the exact installation guide for mounting and connections, allow ventilation and respect the −5°C to 40°C operating range. Confirm the EU power connection and local warranty arrangements for the supplied unit.
