Ubiquiti UniFi Switch 16 PoE (USW-16-POE) – Managed Gigabit Switch

Silent, Enterprise-Grade Layer 2 Switching

The Ubiquiti UniFi Switch 16 PoE (USW-16-POE) is a Gen2 UniFi switch engineered to deliver reliable network connectivity and streamlined power delivery. Featuring 16 Gigabit RJ45 ports (8 featuring 802.3af/at PoE+) and 2 1G SFP optical ports, it allows seamless integration of wireless access points, IP cameras, VoIP phones, and fiber uplinks.

Designed with a fanless cooling architecture, the USW-16-POE operates silently, making it an optimal choice for open-plan offices, conference rooms, quiet retail counters, or noise-sensitive home environments. The integrated 1.3″ LCM touchscreen displays real-time status and telemetry data, while working alongside the UniFi mobile app’s Augmented Reality (AR) feature to overlay port names, status, and connected clients directly through your phone camera.

Key Features & Benefits

• 8 Auto-Sensing PoE+ Ports: Delivers up to 32W per port to run UniFi Access Points, surveillance cameras, and IP desk phones over a single Ethernet cable.
• Dedicated 1G SFP Fiber Uplinks: Includes 2 dedicated SFP optical ports for high-speed switch stacking, long-distance fiber runs, or router interconnects.
• Silent, Fanless Design: Operates passively without noisy cooling fans, preventing dust accumulation while keeping noise levels at absolute zero.
• Integrated 1.3″ Color Touchscreen: Instant at-a-glance visibility into system health, active ports, power consumption, and AR overlay setup.
• Enterprise Layer 2 Functionality: Fully supports custom VLAN tagging, Spanning Tree Protocol (STP/RSTP), port mirroring, jumbo frames, and 802.1X authentication.
• Centralized UniFi Controller: Provision, monitor, and troubleshoot all network ports from anywhere using the license-free UniFi Network web software or mobile app.

Deployment & Powering Notes

Installation Guidance:

• PoE Budget Management: The total available PoE power budget is 42W across 8 PoE+ ports. Calculate the power requirements of your access points and cameras to stay within this limit.

• Higher PoE Needs: If your setup requires high-draw APs (like WiFi 7 U7 Pro series) or high PoE budgets, consider upgrading to the USW-24-PoE (95W budget) or USW-Pro-16-PoE / USW-Pro-Max-16-PoE.

• Placement: Built as a standard 1U 19″ rackmountable unit with mounting ears included.
