Ubiquiti UniFi Switch 16 Ports Gigabit 8PoE, 2xSFP USW-16-POE (42W) - Description
The Ubiquiti UniFi USW-16-POE is a second-generation, fully managed Layer 2 Gigabit switch built to provide dependable, enterprise-grade switching for growing business and home office networks. Featuring a compact 1U rackmount form factor with whisper-quiet fanless cooling, this switch is the ideal network foundation for environments where noise reduction is paramount.
High-Speed Connectivity & Fiber Uplinks
Equipped with 16 Gigabit Ethernet ports and 2 dedicated 1G SFP ports, the USW-16-POE provides flexible high-speed connectivity for your workstations, servers, and network infrastructure. The SFP ports allow for high-capacity fiber uplinks to core switches or remote buildings, ensuring seamless network expansion without bottlenecking your 36 Gbps switching capacity.
Convenient Power over Ethernet (PoE+)
Streamline your infrastructure deployment by powering essential network hardware directly through your Ethernet cables. With 8 auto-sensing 802.3af/at PoE+ ports and a total power budget of 42W, the USW-16-POE easily powers UniFi Access Points, VoIP phones, and UniFi Protect security cameras without requiring separate power adapters.
Smart Status Monitoring & Silent Operation
Stay informed at a glance thanks to the integrated 1.3-inch LCM color touchscreen display, which offers real-time port status, power output, throughput metrics, and system alerts. Augmented Reality (AR) switch management through the mobile UniFi app simplifies port mapping and troubleshooting. Designed with a fanless passive cooling system, it operates completely silently whether deployed on a desktop or inside a network rack.
