You don't need PoE on every port, but you do need 2.5 GbE where it matters and a switch that doesn't sound like a hairdryer at 2am. The UniFi Pro Max 16 gives you four 2.5 GbE RJ45 ports for your uplinks or high-speed endpoints, twelve GbE RJ45 ports for the rest, and two 10G SFP+ ports for backbone runs. Etherlighting ports show location, speed, and VLAN at a glance — no more
