Ubiquiti UniFi USW-Lite-8-PoE — 8-Port Fanless Layer 2 PoE Switch for Chicago

Ubiquiti UniFi USW-Lite-8-PoE

The Ubiquiti UniFi USW-Lite-8-PoE is an 8-port Gigabit Layer 2 managed PoE switch — and it’s fanless. A café back room or a walk-up’s utility shelf never has space for a rack — this one sits on a shelf, powers eight devices, and stays dead quiet.

What’s Confirmed by the Official Ubiquiti Spec

These specifications come from the techspecs.ui.com / store.ui.com published USW-Lite-8-PoE product page:

• Model: USW-Lite-8-PoE
• Ports: 8 × Gigabit RJ45 (with PoE on a subset of ports per Ubiquiti spec)
• Acoustics: fanless (silent operation)
• Management: UniFi Network controller (Layer 2)

When the USW-Lite-8-PoE Fits — Quiet Small-Site PoE

Pick the USW-Lite-8-PoE when:

• The site needs ≤ 8 ports with PoE for APs / cameras / phones
• The deployment is in a quiet space (no rack room, no closet) and fan noise would be disruptive
• The customer wants UniFi management for visibility and policy
• A non-rack form factor is preferred

For 16 ports in a similar fanless wall-mount profile, step up to the USW Lite 16 PoE. For desk-side micro fan-out, see the USW-Flex-Mini. For a standard 24-port rack-mount PoE switch, see the USW 24 PoE.
