Quick Glance
Key Features
Etherlighting on every port
Etherlighting on the Ethernet and SFP+ ports illuminates to indicate port location, speed/link and native VLAN/network, so tracing a cable or spotting a link problem takes seconds. Ubiquiti recommends pairing it with UniFi Etherlighting Patch Cables for optimal brightness.
2.5 GbE, 10G SFP+ and Layer 3 switching
Four 2.5 GbE and twelve GbE RJ45 ports plus two 10G SFP+ ports give 84 Gbps switching capacity, 42 Gbps non-blocking throughput and a 62 Mpps forwarding rate. Layer 3 features include a DHCP server and relay, inter-VLAN and static routing (up to 256 IPv4 static routes) and Pro AV profiles for Dante, Q-SYS, NDI and more.
Silent, fanless and mounts anywhere
A silent, fanless cooling system suits offices, studios and meeting rooms. The SGCC steel switch measures 325.1 x 160 x 43.7 mm and weighs 1.95 kg; it stands on a desk, mounts on a wall, or fits a 1U rack with the add-on Rack Mount accessory. Power comes from the included 25W USB Type-C AC/DC adapter.

Need-to-Know
- This switch has no PoE output: Ubiquiti's specification lists no PoE ports for the Switch Pro Max 16. Devices on its ports need their own power.
- 1U rack mounting requires the add-on Rack Mount accessory, an add-on that Ubiquiti does not list as included. Desktop and wall mounting are listed without it.
- Power comes from the included external 25W AC/DC adapter through a USB Type-C input (5V DC, 5A). Ubiquiti does not state the adapter plug type.
- Layer 3 features listed are DHCP server and relay, inter-VLAN routing and static routing for local networks. Ubiquiti's specification lists no dynamic routing protocol for this switch.
- Ubiquiti rates the ambient operating temperature at -5 to 40° C. As a fanless switch, give it a ventilated spot away from hot UAE cabinets and ceiling spaces.
