Ubiquiti USW-LITE-8-POE | UniFi Lite 8 PoE Switch | 8 Gbps Switch
A compact, fanless 8-port PoE switch for small offices, reception areas, or AV cupboards where silence and wall-mount convenience matter more than rack space.
Why this one
- Four of the eight ports deliver PoE+ at up to 30W each, with 52W shared across them — enough to run a couple of access points and a couple of IP cameras from a single switch.
- Fanless design means no fan noise, which matters in a meeting room, bedroom office, or any space where a spinning fan would be noticed.
- At 295g with a wall-mount kit in the box, it goes directly on a wall stud or inside a cabinet without needing a rack or shelf.
- Managed via UniFi Network like the rest of your stack — VLANs, traffic shaping, and port isolation are all there when you need them.
Good fit if you're adding a small run of PoE devices — an access point, a camera or two, a VoIP phone — to a room or area that doesn't have a rack and needs a quiet, unobtrusive switch.
Worth considering something else if you need more than four PoE ports or a higher PoE budget, in which case the USW-LITE-16-POE steps up to eight PoE ports and a larger power budget in the same product family.
What you'll also need
A UniFi gateway or controller running UniFi Network 7.2.94 or later to manage it; the 60W AC/DC power adapter is included in the box, so no separate injector or PoE uplink is required.
