Why Choose the UniFi Switch Lite 8 PoE?
8 Gigabit Ports, 4 with PoE+
Eight GbE RJ45 ports — four delivering PoE/PoE+ up to 30W each — power and connect cameras, access points, and VoIP phones over a single cable while four data-only ports handle the rest.
52W Total PoE Budget
A 52W PoE budget (with the included 60W power adapter) drives multiple PoE devices at once — perfect for a small UniFi camera or access-point cluster.
Silent Fanless Design
Passive cooling means zero noise — ideal for desks, reception areas, meeting rooms, and any space where a noisy switch isn't welcome.
Full Layer 2 Management
VLANs, STP/RSTP, IGMP snooping, LACP aggregation, port mirroring, storm control, 802.1X, DHCP snooping, ACLs, and more — enterprise-grade control in a compact unit.
Managed in UniFi Network
Adopt and configure from the UniFi Network application (v7.2.94+) for one-pane visibility across your entire UniFi stack — no per-device logins.
