Ubiquiti • UniFi Lite 16 PoE • EU version
Sixteen connections. One considered network.
Bring wired devices and compatible PoE equipment together in a compact, fanless switch. UniFi Lite 16 PoE provides sixteen Gigabit Ethernet ports, including eight PoE/PoE+ ports sharing a 45W power budget, with desktop or wall placement and management through UniFi Network.

Connections that count
Separate the port count from the power budget.
All sixteen RJ45 ports support 10/100/1000Mbps Ethernet. Eight also provide standards-based 802.3af/at PoE/PoE+ for compatible devices; the other eight carry data. The 45W total PoE budget is shared across the powered ports, so plan for the combined device demand rather than multiplying a single-port rating by eight.
A quieter equipment space
Fanless cooling, compact placement.
The white polycarbonate enclosure can sit on a desktop or mount to a wall. With no cooling fan, it fits equipment spaces where fan noise is unwelcome. Observe the specified ambient range and leave ventilation clear; wall mounting does not make the switch an outdoor device.
Manage the wired network
Put ports and policies in one view.
UniFi Network provides configuration and monitoring through the Ethernet management connection. Supported Layer 2 features include VLANs, LACP aggregation, STP/RSTP, IGMP snooping, port mirroring and flow control. Choose the UniFi deployment and software appropriate to your installation; the switch is not a router or an SMB file server.
Switching capacity
Room for Gigabit traffic across the ports.
The switch is rated for 32Gbps switching capacity and 16Gbps total non-blocking throughput, with a 24Mpps forwarding rate. These are switching specifications, not an internet-speed promise. The uplink, connected devices and traffic pattern still shape performance.
Power and physical fit
AC power stays inside the enclosure.
An internal 60W AC/DC supply accepts 100–240V AC at 50/60Hz. The switch itself uses up to 15W excluding PoE output, or up to 60W with PoE output included. This listing carries the EU-version suffix; confirm a suitable mains lead and local plug arrangement for the installation.

Check the total PoE demand of the intended devices and the UniFi Network deployment before ordering. This switch supplies standards-based PoE/PoE+; a 24V passive-PoE radio needs its own compatible power arrangement. EU-version wording does not establish a 24-month South African warranty.
