Provide high-bandwidth aggregation connectivity to multiple switches in your network with the Ubiquiti US-16-XG 16-Port 10G Managed Switchfrom Ubiquiti Networks. The switch comes equipped with twelve 10G SFP+ ports, four 10G RJ-45 Ethernet ports, and a single RJ-45 serial console port making it easy to connect multiple switches directly to the US-16-XG switch. Once configured, users benefit from a non-blocking throughput of 160 Gbps, a switching capacity of 320 Gbps, and a forwarding rate of 238.10 Mpps to ensure the Ubiquiti Networks Aggregation Switch can handle even the most demanding network environments.

Included with this Ubiquiti Networks switch is their own UniFi Controller software designed to simplify the management of everything from site management to switch configuration. A single network administrator can manage multiple sites from a single location using a centralized interface. The UniFi Controller software also makes it easy to access any managed UniFi Switch and configure settings including network/VLAN configuration, operating modes, storm control settings per port, 802.1x control and RADIUS VLAN, and much more. It is also possible to see the status of each port including connection speeds, Tx/Rx data rates, and network/VLAN settings.

The US‑16‑XG offers the forwarding capacity to simultaneously process traffic on all ports at line rate without any packet loss. The total non-blocking throughput is up to 160 Gbps.

The US‑16‑XG offers maximum performance and low latency as an aggregation switch.

For fiber connectivity, it features 12 SFP+ ports. For copper connectivity, the US‑16‑XG offers four RJ-45 ports that support 10GBASE-T, the standard for 10 Gbps connections using Cat6 (or higher) cabling and RJ-45 connectors.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. How many of the 16-port switch's ports support PoE+?

A: All ports *support* PoE+ but I suspect that's not what you're asking. The max per-port power is 34.2W and the max *shared* power is 150W so you could in theory be limited to 4 usable ports if your individual devices were drawing 34W. In the real world you'll need to account for the actual peak power draw of each PoE+ device. PoE+ is 15W+ (otherwise it's just PoE) so with the most *minimal* PoE+ devices drawing 15W+ you might be able to use 9 or 10. If you want to fully load the switch with power hungry devices then you probably want one of the 24-port switches with more available power.

Q: 2. Can anyone comment on the fan noise? My last 10 GbE D-Link switch sounded like a 747! Thanks...

A: As a whole all the Ubiquiti switches are quiet.

Q: 3. Can we aggregate several devices with 2x 10GBe each?

A: This is what we use this for. We have three USW-48P-500W with both of their SPF+ ports LAG uplinked to the ES-16-XG.

Q: 4. Will this switch permit backwards operation to 2.5g and 1g on each port like some of the newer switches?

A: This switch is specific to the SFP+ standard which is not backward compatible.

Q: 5. Will this device power 8 POE+ ports at 15w each? Or only 3 b/c it’s 45w power budget? If 3, which device will power 8 x 15w?

A: That is correct, the Ubiquiti Networks UniFi Lite 16-Port Gigabit PoE+ Compliant Managed Switch (BH #UBSLITE16POE) supports three RJ45 ports at 15W simultaneously. For your use case, the Ubiquiti Networks UniFi Switch Enterprise 8 8-Port 2.5Gb PoE+ Compliant Managed Network Switch with SFP+ (BH #UBUSWENPRS8P) would be a good alternative to consider, as it can output 15W of power from 8 of it's RJ45 ports simultaneously.

Q: 6. Will this work with 1.25/1.063 Gbps Bi-Directional transceivers ?

A: The USW-AGGREGATION is recommended for use with 10Gbps SFP+ transceivers. Support for 1.25 Gbps SFP transceivers has been reported by some users, but not officially recommended by Ubiquiti.

Q: 7. Is secondary power supply available?

A: No, the Ubiquiti Networks Switch Enterprise XG 24 24-Port 10G Managed Network Switch with 25G SFP28 does not support the option for a secondary internal power supply.

Q: 8. Can I get/use this switch out of USA? Is there any limitations/Restrictions? Voltage and cord type ??

A: As others have said it is,100-240VAC/50-60 Hz with a universal power cord input.

Q: 9. What is the difference between the us-16-xg and the es-16-xg? I've read that the hardware is the same, just different software (unifi controller?)? If that is case and I'm running a UDM Pro, the software is already there, right? Which in that case, this switch would be the better bang for buck of the ES model?

A: The ES model is the EdgeSwitch, which does not come with Unifi software built in.

Q: 10. How noisy is this switch?

A: This switch is super quiet.
