UniFi Lite 8 PoE: new $109 fanless 52 W, not a used US-8-60W
Used US-8-60W lots are still the old 8-port UniFi PoE. The current brick is USW-Lite-8-PoE: eight gigabit, four PoE+, 52 W, fanless, external 54 V / 60 W brick. UI store $109 / $117 surcharge-incl. Buy that if the house is already UniFi and two APs plus a couple of wired clients is the job. Need eight PoE ports? That is Switch Ultra, not a used Catalyst.
SKU USW-Lite-8-PoE. Eight 1G RJ45. Ports 1–4 are 802.3af/at, 30 W each, 52 W shared. Ports 5–8 are data only. Layer 2, UniFi Network only. Fanless, 99.6 × 163.7 × 31.7 mm, 295 g. External 54 V / 60 W adapter in the box. Maker max 8 W excluding PoE. 8 Gbps fabric. Wall-mount kit included. This is not 2.5G. See Flex Mini 2.5G for the no-PoE 2.5G puck, and TL-SG108PE if you are not already UniFi.

The short list
| Box | What it is | Street, 23 Aug 2026 | Buy if |
|---|---|---|---|
| USW-Lite-8-PoE | 8× 1G, 4× PoE+ @ 52 W, fanless, UniFi Network. SKU USW-Lite-8-PoE. 54 V / 60 W brick. | UI store $109 / $117 surcharge-incl. Cart live. Print the tag. | Already UniFi. Two APs plus a few wired clients. You do not need eight PoE ports or 2.5G. |
| USW-Ultra 60W | Eight PoE ports, budget tied to the adapter. Still fanless. Different SKU. | See that note. UI around $100–$130 depending on the PSU kit. | The closet needs more than four PoE drops and you are already UniFi. |
| Used US-8-60W / US-8-150W | Last-gen 8-port UniFi PoE people still list as a deal. External brick, 1G only. Not the Lite 8. | We are not pricing used lots. | You like 1G and old firmware on purpose. Not the closet default. |
Skip
Skip used US-8-60W, US-8-150W, and US-8 non-PoE lots. Still last-gen. We are not affiliating them. Skip this Lite if you need eight PoE ports — that is Ultra, not a used Catalyst. Skip it if the closet is already 2.5G and you do not need PoE — that is Flex Mini 2.5G. Skip it if you are not already UniFi; SG108PE or SG105PE is the other door. Skip Amazon generic cards. We have not sat with a unit.
