Managed switch UBIQUITI UniFi Switch Lite 8 PoE L2, 8x Gigabit, 4x PoE+ (30W/port), 54V DC, 60W consumption

The Ubiquiti UniFi Switch Lite 8 PoE (USW-LITE-8-POE) is a fully managed Layer 2 switch with eight Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000) RJ45 ports. Four of the ports support auto-sensing IEEE 802.3at PoE+ with a combined PoE budget of up to 52 W, allowing connection and power delivery to UniFi access points and other PoE devices. The switch is compact, white, and intended for network expansion and efficient power management.

Advantages

The switch offers centralized management through the UniFi Network Controller and the UniFi mobile app, enabling configuration and monitoring of Layer 2 switching features from a graphical interface. With Gigabit RJ45 ports and managed switch functions, it supports typical campus, office, and small business deployments while providing PoE+ where needed.

Suitable for

• Expanding wired networks in small offices or home offices
• Powering and connecting UniFi access points and other PoE devices
• Deployments requiring managed Layer 2 switching and remote management
