Ubiquiti EP-S16 network switch

The Ubiquiti EP-S16 Network Switch is a 16-port Gigabit Ethernet switch designed for Layer 2/3 network environments. It supports IEEE 802.3af and IEEE 802.3at Power over Ethernet (PoE) standards, allowing simultaneous data transmission and power delivery to devices such as IP cameras and wireless access points. The rack-mountable, compact white design is intended for installation in server rooms, network closets, or communication cabinets where reliable connectivity and centralized power management are required.

Advantages

The EP-S16 provides 16 Gigabit RJ-45 ports with integrated PoE support, enabling simplified deployment of powered devices without separate power supplies. Its compliance with common PoE standards ensures compatibility with a wide range of network equipment. Rack-mountable construction and a consolidated form factor reduce cabinet clutter and facilitate organized installation and maintenance.

Suitable for

• Small to medium business network closets and server rooms
• IP camera systems and video surveillance deployments
• Wireless access point backhaul and enterprise Wi‑Fi installations
• Edge aggregation and distribution in campus or branch networks

If powering PoE devices, enable PoE according to your network design and verify device compatibility with IEEE 802.3af/at. Configure Layer 2/3 settings via your network management tools or controller to set VLANs, link aggregation, and routing rules as required.

Recommendations

Install the switch in a ventilated cabinet with stable power. Use quality shielded Ethernet cabling for long runs and ensure connected PoE devices do not exceed the switch's total available PoE budget. Regularly check firmware updates from Ubiquiti to maintain security and performance.
