Adapter holder for the UniFi Switch Lite 8 PoE

The power adapter of a UniFi switch is one of those things that never has a place and is always in the way. It hangs from its own cable behind the meter cupboard, falls off the shelf as soon as you move a network cable, or lies loose on the bottom of the cabinet in the dust. This holder gives it a fixed place: you screw the holder wherever you want it and put the adapter in.

Where to mount it

The base has two slotted screw holes. Slots rather than round holes, so that after pre-drilling you can still slide it a few millimetres to get it straight. Places where it works well:

• on a shelf in the meter cupboard, next to or under the switch;
• against the side wall of a network cabinet or server cabinet;
• under a desktop, next to a switch mounted there;
• on the wall in a technical room or utility room.

The cut-outs in the rim let the cable exit on two sides, so you can turn the holder whichever way suits your setup without kinking the cable.

What it is made for

This holder is made for the power adapter supplied with the UniFi Switch Lite 8 PoE. If you have a different adapter of the same size, it will fit just as well — but a few millimetres of difference is enough to stop it fitting. If in doubt, just ask us.

MODUXO is not part of Ubiquiti and this is not an original accessory. We only name the device so you know what it fits.

Mounting

Hold the holder in place, mark the two slots, pre-drill and screw it in place. Then put the adapter in and route the cable through the cut-out that suits you best. Screws are not included: which ones you need depends on what you are fixing into, and wood, brick and plasterboard each need something different.

How it is made

We make the holder in the Netherlands, in PLA. Whatever is in stock when you order goes straight in the post; if not, we make it for you and there is production time involved. Which of the two applies is shown on this page when you order.

Two slotted screw holes in the base, so you can screw it to a shelf, against a wall or inside a cabinet and still adjust it a little. Screws and wall plugs are not included.
