The Switch Lite 8 PoE is an 8-port, Layer 2 Gigabit switch from Ubiquiti with silent fanless cooling. Four of its eight GbE ports deliver PoE+ at up to 30W each, with 52W of total PoE available from the included external 60W power adapter. It sits on a desk or mounts on a wall, and is managed in the UniFi Network application, version 7.2.94 and later.
Quick Glance
Key Features
Four PoE+ ports with a 52W budget
Four of the eight Gigabit ports supply PoE+, up to 30W per port, so access points, phones and other PoE devices run from the network cable alone. Total PoE availability is 52W with the external 60W power adapter, which Ubiquiti lists as included. The other four ports are standard GbE.
Silent, fanless and compact
Fanless cooling keeps the switch silent, which suits reception desks, meeting rooms and small offices. The polycarbonate enclosure measures 99.6 x 163.7 x 31.7 mm and weighs 295 g, and it can stand on a desk or be mounted on a wall. Heat dissipation is 27.3 BTU/hr excluding PoE output.
Layer 2 control in UniFi Network
Managed from the UniFi Network application (7.2.94 and later), it supports up to 1,000 VLANs, Voice VLAN and LLDP-MED, LACP, STP and RSTP, IGMP snooping, 802.1X control, DHCP snooping and guarding, IP- and MAC-based ACLs, port isolation, port mirroring, storm control and loop protection.
