Ubiquiti USW-Lite-16-POE UniFi Switch Lite 16 PoE 8x PoE+
The Ubiquiti USW-Lite-16-POE UniFi Switch Lite 16 PoE is a compact, wall-mountable Layer 2 switch designed for small to medium networks that need both wired connectivity and Power over Ethernet support. Eight of its 16 Gigabit ports supply PoE+ power to UniFi access points and other compatible devices, while the fanless design keeps it silent and maintenance-free.
Why this product
16 Gigabit ports with 8 PoE+
All 16 ports handle standard Ethernet; 8 also deliver up to 802.3at PoE+ power simultaneously, with 45W total PoE capacity for access points and powered devices.
Managed via UniFi Controller
Configure, monitor and manage all switch features through the UniFi Network Controller and mobile app from anywhere, with a unified interface for your entire network.
Fanless and wall-mountable
No moving parts means silent operation and zero maintenance. Mounting kit included for wall installation in tight spaces.
32 Gbps switching capacity
Handles 24 million packets per second with non-blocking throughput of 16 Gbps, built on Layer 2 switching protocols including LACP, STP and RSTP.

- SKUUBI-1386
- EAN810010071163
- Works with UniFi Network Controller version 5.13.5 or higher for full management and monitoring capabilities.
- Powers UniFi Access Points and any PoE+ device requiring up to 30W per port (8 ports available).
- Connects to standard RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet devices at 1G, 100M or 10M speeds.
- Requires UniFi Controller installation on a separate device (cloud-hosted or local hardware) to enable management features.
Best for
- Small offices and remote sites needing PoE+ for wireless access points without a separate power source.
- Wall-mounted deployments where space and silent operation are essential.
- Networks already running UniFi infrastructure and wanting unified management across devices.
- Setups requiring VLANs, port aggregation and advanced Layer 2 switching without complexity.
Trade-offs
- High-speed core switching. Non-blocking throughput of 16 Gbps is suited to edge deployment, not backbone traffic.
- Large networks needing Layer 3 or higher. This is a Layer 2 switch; routing and advanced protocols require additional infrastructure.
- Networks without UniFi Controller. Management requires controller software; standalone mode is not supported.
- Powering devices exceeding 30W per port. PoE+ is limited to 802.3at standard; higher wattage devices need alternative power.
The UniFi Switch Lite 16 PoE is a fully managed Layer 2 switch with sixteen Gigabit Ethernet ports for your RJ45 Ethernet devices. Eight ports also offer auto-sensing 802.3at PoE+ that provide up to a total PoE wattage of 45W for UniFi Access Points or other PoE devices. Managed and configured by the UniFi Network Controller with UniFi mobile app support, the UniFi Switch Lite 16 PoE offers Layer 2 switching protocols and features. The UniFi Network Controller and mobile app allow admins to configure and monitor virtually all of the switch features in a graphical user interface from anywhere.
