Overview
The NSW2020-10T-POE-IN is an unmanaged Fast Ethernet PoE switch with 10 × 10/100Mbps RJ45 ports — 8 PoE-enabled downlink ports (ports 1-2 carry power priority) plus 2 uplink ports — built for plug-and-play CCTV deployments. It delivers an 88 W total PoE power budget (30 W max per port, IEEE 802.3af/at, Mode B pinout: 4/5+, 7/8-) over a 2 Gbps switching fabric with 1.49 Mpps forwarding, a 448K bit packet buffer and a 1K MAC address table. A fanless, all-metal 171×103×25 mm housing (0.29 kg) runs from 0°C to 45°C, is NDAA compliant, and switches between Default (Normal) and EXTEND (250 m surveillance reach) working modes via a rear-panel slide switch — no management software required.
Is This the Right Fit?
Six real deployment scenarios matched to this model's actual datasheet specifications.
8-Camera PoE Backbone For One Recorder8 PoE-enabled downlink ports (1-8) plus a dedicated uplink pair power and connect a full 8-channel camera kit through a single switch — plug straight into an 8-channel NVR without splitting cabling across two devices.
Priority Ports Protect Your Two Most Critical CamerasPorts 1-2 carry PoE power priority, so an entrance camera or a critical asset feed on those ports keeps drawing power first if total demand approaches the 88 W budget — put your must-not-lose camera there.
250 m EXTEND Reach For the Farthest Camera on SiteFlip the rear-panel switch to EXTEND (surveillance mode) and push power plus data up to 250 m — well past the standard 100 m Ethernet limit — for a gate, driveway or perimeter camera set apart from the rest.
25 mm Slim Metal Body Tucks Into Tight SpacesAt 171×103×25 mm and 0.29 kg, the all-metal fanless housing is thin enough to mount behind a monitor, inside a shallow cabinet or on a wall bracket where a taller 10-port switch won't fit.
NDAA-Compliant Pick for Government & Public-Sector BidsNDAA compliance lets integrators quote this switch into US federal, municipal and other public-sector tenders that require Section 889-compliant network hardware.
Silent 94 W Draw Beside a Desk or Reception Counter0 cooling fans and a 94 W max power draw keep the unit silent enough for a front-desk cabinet, reception counter or open-plan office where camera and PoE gear normally hide in a rack.
Not a good fit if:
- Unmanaged — no Web/CLI/SNMP access or VLAN tagging; the rear-panel switch offers only Default/EXTEND positions, with no separate VLAN-isolation mode; choose a managed switch if you need remote configuration or port isolation.
- Fast Ethernet only (10/100Mbps, no Gigabit) — for 4K or multi-stream camera backbones and NVR uplinks, choose a Gigabit PoE switch instead.
- 30 W max per port but only 88 W total budget — the 8 PoE ports can't all run at full 30 W simultaneously (8×30 W = 240 W ≫ 88 W budget), and 802.3bt heated PTZ domes (60–90 W) need a bt-capable switch or midspan injector since this model is 802.3af/at only.

Talk to an engineer →Who uses it, where it goes and how to install it
Written for the NSW2020-10T-POE-IN from its own datasheet: 8 PoE ports + 2 uplinks, all 10/100 Mbps, 88 W PoE budget, 30 W per port, Extend mode up to 250 m, fanless metal desktop body.
Who it is for
- Installers selling 8-camera kits — 8 PoE ports match an 8-channel NVR exactly: eight cameras on ports 1–8, one uplink cable to the recorder, and nothing to configure because the switch is unmanaged.
- Shops, offices and homes with 1080p–4 MP cameras — All ports are 10/100 Mbps, which is plenty for typical H.265 streams of a few Mbps each; the fanless 25 mm high body is silent next to a reception desk or in a small cabinet.
- Sites with one or two far-away cameras — A gate or perimeter camera beyond 100 m can be reached with Extend mode, up to 250 m on one cable, without adding a second switch or a fibre link in between.
- Public-sector and NDAA tenders — The datasheet states NDAA compliance, so the switch can be listed in small government, school or municipal camera projects that require it.
Where and how to install
- Desk, shelf or small cabinet — At 171 × 103 × 25 mm and 0.29 kg it sits on a shelf next to the NVR; no rack ears are listed for this model. It is fanless and cooled through the metal case, so leave a few centimetres of air around it and do not stack the NVR or the power adapter directly on top.
- Heat: stay inside 0–45 °C — The operating range is 0 °C to 45 °C at 10–90% non-condensing humidity. This is an indoor switch: a closed metal box in the sun or an unventilated roof space can pass 45 °C, so put it in a ventilated indoor cabinet and keep it away from water.
- Power: adapter and UPS — It runs from an external DC 48/51 V adapter (AC 100–240 V input); maximum consumption is 94 W. Plug the adapter into the same UPS as the NVR, otherwise every camera reboots when mains power blinks.
- Cable lengths and Extend mode — In Default mode keep every camera run within the normal 100 m Ethernet limit. Use the rear Default/Extend switch only when a camera really is between 100 m and 250 m away, and use solid-copper Cat5e or Cat6 for those runs; copper-clad aluminium cable drops too much voltage over long distances.
- Grounding and surge — No surge rating is listed for this switch. Outdoor cameras on poles or walls bring lightning-induced surges back down the cable, so add an Ethernet surge protector on those runs near the switch and connect the cabinet to a proper earth.
- Which camera on which port — Ports 1–2 keep PoE power first if the 88 W budget runs short, so connect the entrance camera or a PTZ there. Connect the NVR or the next switch to uplink port 9 or 10, not to a PoE port.
PoE budget: how many cameras it really powers
The limit is usually the port count, not the power. Eight 4 MP IR cameras at about 6 W each use 48 W, well under the 88 W budget. Power only becomes the limit with heavier loads: 88 W shared by 8 ports is 11 W per port on average, so any single port can give up to 30 W, but not all eight at once.

- Pick the NSW2020-10T-POE-IN for up to 8 fixed cameras on one 8-channel NVR: at ~6 W each they use 48 W of the 88 W budget.
- With several PTZs, add them up first: more than 6 mini PTZs at ~13 W exceed 88 W, and anything above 30 W per port (802.3bt) needs a different switch or an injector.
- For only 4 cameras the smaller NSW2020-6T-POE-IN is enough; for 9–16 cameras look at the 16-port NSW2020 rack models with Gigabit uplinks.
Camera draws of ~6 W (4 MP IR bullet/dome) and ~13 W (mini PTZ) are typical assumptions; check the max. power on each camera's datasheet. Budget, per-port and distance figures are from the Uniview datasheet.
8-Port PoE Switch FAQ — NSW2020-10T-POE-IN
How many cameras can the NSW2020-10T-POE-IN run?
Ports 1–8 are IEEE 802.3af/at PoE downlinks sharing an 88 W budget — an 11 W average per camera with all eight connected, against the 4–12 W a typical fixed IP camera draws. Any single port can deliver up to 30 W. Ports 9–10 are the 10/100 uplinks.
How does EXTEND mode work for long cable runs?
A rear-panel slide switch toggles between Default (Normal) and EXTEND. In EXTEND mode the PoE ports push data and power up to 250 m of cable for surveillance runs, so remote cameras connect without extenders. Switching back to Default restores normal operation — no software involved.
What do the PoE priority ports do?
Ports 1 and 2 carry PoE power priority. Wire your most critical cameras — an entrance or a cash desk — to those two ports so they are the ones that keep power when the 88 W budget is stretched by heavy loads elsewhere. The PoE-MAX indicator warns when the budget is near its limit.
Is it suitable for projects that require NDAA compliance?
Yes, the NSW2020-10T-POE-IN is NDAA compliant, which matters for government and enterprise tenders that reference it. Physically it is a fanless all-metal unit of just 171 × 103 × 25 mm and 0.29 kg, operating 0 to 45 °C — easy to place on a desk, shelf or inside a compact enclosure.
How is it powered and wired?
An external DC 48/51 V adapter (AC 100–240 V, 50/60 Hz input) powers the switch; maximum consumption is 94 W at full PoE load. PoE uses Mode B pinout — pins 4/5 positive, 7/8 negative. IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet trims idle power on the data side.
Will the NSW2020-10T-POE-IN power Hikvision, Dahua or other non-Uniview cameras?
Yes, if the camera is a standard IEEE 802.3af or 802.3at PoE device, which almost all brand-name IP cameras are. The switch only powers a port after it detects a standard PoE device, and standard cameras accept power on the Mode B pairs (4/5, 7/8) it uses. It will not power 'passive' 12 V or 24 V PoE devices that skip the standard detection; those need their own injector.
Is a 10/100 Mbps switch like the NSW2020-10T-POE-IN fast enough for 4K or 8 MP cameras?
For each camera, yes: a 4K camera in H.265 typically streams well under 16 Mbps, far below the 100 Mbps of its port. The limit is the uplink to the NVR, which is also 100 Mbps: 8 cameras at 8 Mbps add up to 64 Mbps and fit, but 8 cameras at 16 Mbps plus sub-streams would exceed it. For a full set of 4K cameras at high bit rates, choose a switch with a Gigabit uplink such as the NSW2020-16T2GC-POE-IN.
How do I connect the NSW2020-10T-POE-IN to my NVR, or add a second switch?
Run one cable from uplink port 9 or 10 to the NVR's LAN (network) port, and use the other uplink for a second switch or the router; each of these copper links can be up to 100 m. In Default mode all ports talk to each other, so the NVR sees every camera through that one cable. Keep the cascade short (one or two levels) because every camera behind the uplink shares its 100 Mbps.
What does the PoE-MAX light on the NSW2020-10T-POE-IN mean?
It is a budget warning. According to the datasheet it stays off while the total PoE load is below 80% of the 88 W budget and turns steady on above 85%, which is about 75 W. If it is on, you have little headroom: a camera's IR or heater switching on at night can push the load over the limit, and ports other than the priority ports 1–2 may lose power first. Move a heavy load such as a PTZ to another switch.
Can the NSW2020-10T-POE-IN run a PTZ camera?
Yes for PTZs that stay within 802.3at, up to 30 W per port; put them on priority ports 1–2. Check the total: two 25 W PTZs plus six 6 W cameras is 86 W, right at the 88 W limit, so in that case use fewer fixed cameras on this switch. Large PTZs with heaters or long-range IR that need 802.3bt (above 30 W) cannot be powered from this switch and need their own PoE injector or 24 V supply.
