Powerful Layer 2 switching performance for enterprises.
UniFi Switch 16 PoE USW-16-POE The USW-16-POE is a dedicated switching solution offering a comprehensive Layer 2 feature set to meet the diverse connectivity needs of organizations. It allows network administrators to perform advanced tasks such as port configuration, port aggregation, and VLAN mapping to segment and secure network traffic. With 16 Gigabit Ethernet ports, the USW-16-POE ensures high connection speeds for end devices such as computers, printers, and IoT devices.
Power over Ethernet (PoE+) capability on all 16 ports simplifies system deployment, eliminating the complexity of wiring separate power supplies for each device. This is an ideal choice for powering critical network devices such as Wi-Fi access points, IP security cameras, and VoIP phones, saving on installation costs and maintaining a clean, professional workspace.
Visual management and intelligent troubleshooting.
One of the outstanding features of UniFi Switch 16 PoE USW-16-POE It features a 1.3-inch color touchscreen integrated directly into the device. This screen provides instant overviews of system status, port throughput, and important alerts. This allows IT teams to quickly understand network performance without needing to access the software interface.
Specifically, when combined with the UniFi Network mobile app, the augmented reality (AR) feature allows administrators to view detailed information about each port simply by scanning the camera across the front of the switch. This significantly simplifies the process of identifying physical connections, checking status, and troubleshooting, minimizing downtime and improving operational efficiency.
Flexible design and expandable connectivity.
The USW-16-POE boasts a compact, 1U rack-mountable design, making it suitable for installation in SOHO (Small Office/Home Office) network cabinets or standard data center racks. Its robust metal casing not only provides high durability but also supports efficient heat dissipation, ensuring stable operation over extended periods.
In addition to 16 Ethernet ports, the device is also equipped with 2 SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) ports. These ports support optical uplink connections with speeds up to 1 Gbps, enabling high-speed connections to core switches or network expansion to other buildings or areas within the same campus. The presence of SFP ports provides maximum flexibility for designing and developing network infrastructure to scale with the growth of the enterprise.
