Network switch MikroTik netPower Lite 8P — 8× Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000), PoE (IEEE 802.3af/at), 24–57V input, white

MikroTik netPower Lite 8P is an 8‑port Gigabit Ethernet switch that integrates Power over Ethernet (PoE) support for IEEE 802.3af and 802.3at devices. The unit provides eight RJ‑45 Gigabit ports (10/100/1000) in a compact white enclosure and accepts 24–57 V DC input via a 2‑pin terminal block. Designed for small office, branch or service-provider edge deployments, this switch supplies powered connectivity for IP cameras, VoIP phones and wireless access points while keeping installation simple and cable count low.

Advantages

The netPower Lite 8P combines full Gigabit switching performance on all RJ‑45 ports with standardized PoE delivery (IEEE 802.3af/at), allowing simultaneous data and power over a single cable. Its wide input voltage range (24–57 V DC) provides flexibility for different powering setups. The white compact housing fits into varied installation environments and the device is intended to simplify deployment where powered Ethernet endpoints are required.

Suitable for

• Small office networks requiring PoE for IP phones and access points
• SMB surveillance setups with multiple IP cameras
• Branch or wiring closet installations where compact PoE switching is needed
• Service-provider last‑mile or apartment delivery scenarios with powered endpoints

Key specifications

• Number of RJ‑45 ports: 8 Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000)
• PoE standards supported: IEEE 802.3af, IEEE 802.3at
• Input voltage: 24–57 V DC via 2‑pin terminal block
• Product colour: White
• 10G support: Yes (suitable for uplink integration where applicable)

How to use

Connect powered devices such as IP cameras, VoIP phones or Wi‑Fi access points to any of the eight RJ‑45 Gigabit ports. Provide DC power to the unit using a compatible 24–57 V DC supply connected to the 2‑pin terminal block; the switch will deliver PoE to connected endpoints according to IEEE 802.3af/at negotiation. For integration into larger networks, use appropriate uplink ports or external SFP/10G devices as required by your topology. Follow standard cabling and grounding practices when installing the switch.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, verify total connected PoE power draw against your power source capacity and use adequately rated DC cabling. Place the switch in a dry, ventilated location with access to the DC input and Ethernet runs; ensure that attached PoE devices support IEEE 802.3af or 802.3at for automatic power negotiation.
