Ubiquiti UniFi Lite 8 PoE Switch - USW-Lite-8-PoE

The UniFi Lite 8 PoE is a small managed switch for adding wired connections where some endpoints also need power over their network cable. Its desktop design suits a local equipment area that does not call for a full rack switch. The listing separates four standard Gigabit ports from four PoE+ ports, so map powered devices to the appropriate connections when planning the installation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are all eight ports listed as PoE+?

No. The store listing describes four PoE+ ports and four other Gigabit Ethernet ports.

Is this a rack-mount switch?

The listing identifies a desktop design.

This model is best chosen around the number of powered devices, not simply the total port count. Confirming power demand and port placement in advance will make a small network installation much easier to set up cleanly.
