Lite 16 PoE

The USW-Lite-16-PoE (UniFi Switch Lite 16 PoE) is a compact, wall-mountable Layer 2 managed Gigabit PoE+ switch delivering 16 ports of wired connectivity with fanless silent operation in a space-efficient form factor perfectly suited to East African small business, retail, and hospitality environments. Measuring 192 × 185 × 44 mm (7.6 × 7.3 × 1.7") and weighing 1.2 kg (2.6 lb), the USW-Lite-16-PoE supports both compact desktop and wall-mount installation — supporting rack depths of 400–1,200 mm (15.7–47.2") — with the polycarbonate enclosure and mount material providing a lightweight, durable installation. The fanless cooling design ensures completely silent operation, making it ideal for noise-sensitive environments including hotel lobbies, executive offices, reception areas, and home offices across East Africa. Requires UniFi Network version 7.2.94 and later.

The USW-Lite-16-PoE provides (8) GbE RJ45 PoE+ ports (1G/100M/10M) at up to 32W per port alongside (8) GbE RJ45 non-PoE ports — delivering 45W total PoE availability for powering access points, IP cameras, VoIP phones, and IoT devices across small office and retail deployments in East Africa. Switching capacity of 32 Gbps with 16 Gbps non-blocking throughput and 24 Mpps forwarding rate ensures wire-speed performance across all 16 ports simultaneously.

The comprehensive Layer 2 feature set includes: LACP port aggregation for link bonding and redundancy STP and RSTP for loop prevention and network resilience Advanced IGMP configuration (Querier, Fast Leave, Router Port) and IGMP snooping for multicast management 802.1X port-based access control for network authentication MAC-based ACLs and device isolation, IP-based ACLs and network isolation DHCP snooping and guarding for rogue DHCP server protection Egress rate limiting, flow control, storm control, multicast and broadcast rate limiting MAC address blocking, MAC-based port restriction, port isolation, and port mirroring Jumbo frames, LLDP-MED, Voice VLAN, loop protection, and virtual network override 128 IPv4 ACLs and 128 MAC ACLs for granular traffic control
Power is supplied via internal 60W AC/DC power supply supporting 100–240V AC universal input at 50/60 Hz — fully compatible with power standards across all East African markets. Management via Ethernet.
Additional specifications: Max. power consumption: 15W excluding PoE output / 60W including PoE output Heat dissipation: 51.2 BTU/hr excluding PoE output Operating temperature: -15°C to 40°C (5°F to 104°F) Operating humidity: 10–90% non-condensing CE, FCC, IC, and Anatel certified, fully NDAA compliant
Ideal for small offices, branch locations, retail stores, hospitality venues, home offices, IP camera surveillance systems, VoIP phone deployments, wireless access point installations, and space-constrained network environments across Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, and the wider East and Central Africa region requiring 16-port Gigabit PoE+ switching with fanless silent operation, 45W PoE budget, wall-mount capability, comprehensive Layer 2 management, and full UniFi Network integration in a compact, energy-efficient switch.
