The Ubiquiti UniFi Switch Lite 16 PoE is a fully managed Layer 2 Gigabit Ethernet switch for small business networks and smart homes. It suits anyone adding wired connections alongside UniFi access points, cameras or other PoE devices.

Sixteen Gigabit RJ45 ports provide room for connected devices, with PoE+ available on eight ports. The switch supplies up to 45W of PoE power in total, so compatible equipment can receive data and power over Ethernet. Its fanless cooling keeps operation silent, while the compact unit can sit on a desk or be mounted on a wall.

Key features

• Sixteen 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ45 ports connect wired network devices.
• Eight ports support PoE+ for compatible access points and other powered devices.
• A 45W total PoE budget helps power multiple devices from one switch.
• Layer 2 management provides switching features for a managed network.
• The UniFi Network web application and mobile app let you monitor and configure the switch.
• Fanless cooling avoids fan noise in home and office spaces.
• Wall mounting provides an alternative to placing the switch on a desk.
• A 16 Gbps non-blocking line rate supports traffic across the ports.

Compatibility

Connect Ethernet devices using RJ45 network cables. PoE power is for compatible PoE or PoE+ devices; the switch has eight PoE+ ports and eight standard Gigabit ports. Configuration and monitoring are handled through the UniFi Network application. Good to know: check that your devices support PoE/PoE+ before relying on the switch to power them, and allow for its shared 45W PoE budget.
