Ubiquiti USW-LITE-16-POE | UniFi Lite 16 PoE Switch | 16 Gbps Switch

A compact, fanless 16-port PoE switch for small offices, meeting rooms, or wall-mounted network closets where silence and space both matter.

Why this one

• Eight of the 16 ports deliver 802.3at PoE+, so you can run access points, IP phones, and cameras from the one switch without a separate injector for each device.
• The 45W total PoE budget is enough for a mixed load of access points and cameras in a small space — though if you're powering eight devices simultaneously, plan the draw before you buy.
• Completely fanless cooling means no fan noise, which matters in open-plan offices, reception areas, or meeting rooms where the switch sits in earshot.
• The wall-mount kit is included and the unit weighs 1.2 kg, so it fixes directly to a wall without needing a rack or shelf — useful when there's no comms cabinet on site.

Good fit if you're equipping a small office or single floor with up to eight PoE devices and want a managed Layer 2 switch that sits on a desk or mounts to a wall inside the UniFi ecosystem.

Worth considering something else if your PoE device count or power draw is climbing — the USW-24-POE gives you 24 ports and 95W of PoE budget, which headroom a growing site will reach for faster than expected.

What you'll also need

A UniFi gateway or Cloud Gateway to manage it through UniFi Network (version 7.2.94 or later), a standard IEC power outlet at the mounting point, and Cat5e or better to each connected device — the wall-mount hardware ships in the box.
