The Ubiquiti USW-Lite-8-POE is a compact UniFi switch designed to expand your network connectivity while powering your devices. It features eight Gigabit Ethernet ports, four of which support the PoE+ standard to provide up to 30W per port, with a total power budget of 52W. This makes it a practical choice for powering access points or security cameras without needing separate power adapters for each device. Its small polycarbonate enclosure measures 99.6 x 163.7 x 31.7 mm and weighs only 295 g, allowing you to place it on a desk or mount it to a wall. Because it uses silent fanless cooling, you can keep it in a quiet office or living area without any distracting noise. The switch handles a non-blocking throughput of 8 Gbps and a switching capacity of 16 Gbps, ensuring stable data flow for your connected hardware. For those managing more complex setups, it supports advanced features like VLANs, LACP port aggregation, and IGMP snooping. You can manage the device through the UniFi Network application, utilizing tools like MAC/IP based ACLs and device isolation to keep your network secure and organized.
