“For me this was a great upgrade from a UniFi 8 port POE switch. Etherlighting is a useful feature. The small information screen is an eye opener with how much information at a glance is available on the network. Its not cheap but its a worthwhile spend for the features.”
“I needed an additional Unifi switch to support a home upgrade. Reviewing all their switches, creating a spreadsheet and analysing power budgets, the Pro Max came out as the best bang for the buck, which was a huge surprise. The actual switch is just a managed 16 port PoE switch. Not too much to get excited by.
Unless... you're a bit of a nerd and love that it's silent, it supports multiple different PoE types, that some ports are 2.5gbps and it has a 10gbps uplink. And it has coloured ports that change colour depending on what you want to show. And that can 'breathe'. In that case, you'll love this switch.
Integration with your existing Unifi setup is a breeze. It really is super simple. Management is as usual with Unifi switches. Being the latest generation it does have all the management tools you need and as the Unifi Network application keeps on getting updated, being the latest it will support all the new features for some time.
If you need a high performance 16 Port PoE capable switch, perhaps have some Wifi 7 AP's that need power and backhaul this is a perfect solution. Add it to your existing Unifi controller and gateway and you will have a switch that should last a long time and meet or exceed most peoples expectations.”
“Great solidly built switch, with good versatility for mounting. Perfect companion for dream machine pro to run POE devices, for those that don’t need 24 ports and want a little expandability from smaller switches.”
