Overview
The NSW2020-6T-POE-IN is an unmanaged Fast Ethernet PoE switch with 6 × 10/100Mbps RJ45 ports — 4 PoE-enabled downlink ports (ports 1-2 carry power priority) plus 2 uplink ports — built for plug-and-play CCTV micro-deployments. It delivers a 60 W total PoE power budget (30 W max per port, IEEE 802.3af/at, Mode B pinout: 4/5+, 7/8-) over a 1.2 Gbps switching fabric with 0.90 Mpps forwarding, a 448K bit packet buffer and a 1K MAC address table. A fanless, all-metal 107×101×25 mm housing (0.19 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.
4-Camera PoE Micro-Hub for a Single Recorder4 PoE-enabled downlink ports (1-4) plus a dedicated uplink pair power and connect a compact 4-channel camera kit through one switch — plug straight into a 4-channel NVR without splitting cabling across two devices.
Priority Ports Protect Your Most Critical CameraPorts 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 60 W budget — put your must-not-lose camera there.
EXTEND Mode Pushes One Camera Out to 250 mFlip 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 single gate, driveway or perimeter camera set apart from the rest, without adding a repeater.
25 mm Micro Body Hides Behind a Monitor or Ceiling VoidAt just 107×101×25 mm and 0.19 kg — the lightest housing in the NSW20-series lineup — the all-metal fanless body is small enough to hide behind a monitor, inside a shallow ceiling void or zip-tied to a pole bracket.
NDAA-Compliant Pick for Small Public-Sector BidsNDAA compliance lets integrators quote this compact switch into US federal, municipal and other public-sector tenders that require Section 889-compliant network hardware — even for a small 4-camera add-on.
Silent 65 W Draw Beside a Small Rack or Reception Desk0 cooling fans and a 65 W max power draw keep the unit silent enough for a small reception cabinet, retail counter or open-plan office corner where a full-size rack switch would be overkill for just 4 cameras.
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 60 W total budget — the 4 PoE ports can't all run at full 30 W simultaneously (4×30 W = 120 W ≫ 60 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 NSW2020-6T-POE-IN from its official datasheet: 6 × 100 Mbps RJ45 ports with 4 PoE ports, 60 W PoE budget with 30 W per port, Mode B pinout, 250 m EXTEND mode, fanless 107 × 101 × 25 mm metal body on a DC 48/51 V adapter.
Who it is for
- Homes and small shops with up to 4 cameras — 4 fixed cameras at about 6 W use only 24 W of the 60 W budget, and the fanless body makes no noise behind a counter or in a home office.
- Installers adding cameras to an existing network — When an NVR's own PoE ports are full or the cameras are far from it, this small switch powers up to 4 more cameras locally and sends their video over one cable through uplink port 5 or 6.
- Villa and apartment video intercom — Uniview itself ships this switch in its KIT/201S/372S/NSW2020 intercom kit, where it powers an 802.3af door station and indoor monitor, each under 10 W, with ports left for cameras.
- Small public-sector or corporate add-ons — It is NDAA compliant, so it can go into tenders that require NDAA-compliant network hardware even for a 4-camera extension.
Where and how to install
- Indoors, with free air around it — The switch has no fan and cools through its metal case, rated 0 °C to 45 °C. Behind a monitor, on a shelf or on a cabinet wall is fine; do not wrap it in insulation or seal it in a small plastic box in a hot ceiling void or on a sunny pole.
- Power adapter and UPS — It runs from an external DC 48/51 V adapter (AC 100–240 V input), with a maximum draw of 65 W. Use the adapter specified for this model, since a weaker 48 V supply reduces the power available to cameras, and plug it into the same UPS as the NVR so cameras keep recording during outages.
- Which port for what — Ports 1 to 4 supply PoE, and ports 1 and 2 keep power first if the 60 W budget is short, so put the entrance or the most important camera there. Ports 5 and 6 are 100 Mbps uplinks without PoE: one to the NVR or router, the other free for a viewing PC or the next switch.
- Cable lengths and EXTEND — Keep each run within 100 m of solid-copper Cat5e or Cat6 in Default mode. EXTEND mode reaches up to 250 m by lowering the port rate to 10 Mbps, according to Uniview's kit datasheet for this switch, and it applies to the whole switch, so set the camera bitrate low enough for 10 Mbps.
- Surge and cable joints — The switch is not weatherproof and no surge rating is listed. For cameras on outside walls or poles, fit Ethernet surge protectors, make cable joints inside a junction box, and keep the switch itself indoors.
PoE budget: how many cameras
The 60 W budget is enough for 4 ordinary cameras but not for 4 PTZ cameras: at 25.5 W each, 2 already reach 51 W, the 85% level at which the PoE-MAX light comes on. Note that the uplinks here are 100 Mbps copper, not gigabit or SFP. The NSW2020-10T-POE-IN column shows the next size up in the same series.
| NSW2020-6T-POE-IN (this model) | NSW2020-10T-POE-IN | |
|---|---|---|
| PoE ports | 4 × 100 Mbps RJ45 | 8 × 100 Mbps RJ45 |
| Uplinks (no PoE) | 2 × 100 Mbps RJ45 | 2 × 100 Mbps RJ45 |
| Total PoE budget / per port | 60 W / 30 W | 88 W / 30 W |
| Priority ports | 1–2 | 1–2 |
| PoE-MAX light on above (85%) | 51 W | 74.8 W |
| 4 MP IR fixed cameras at 6 W | 4 (24 W) | 8 (48 W) |
| Mini PTZ at 13 W, under 85% | 3 (39 W) | 5 (65 W) |
| PTZ at 25.5 W | 2 (51 W) | 2 (51 W) |
| Switching capacity | 1.2 Gbps | 2 Gbps |
| Power input / max consumption | DC 48/51 V adapter / 65 W | DC 48/51 V adapter / 94 W |
| Size / weight | 107 × 101 × 25 mm / 0.19 kg | 171 × 103 × 25 mm / 0.29 kg |
| Camera cable reach | 100 m; up to 250 m in EXTEND | 100 m; up to 250 m in EXTEND |
| Operating temperature | 0 °C to 45 °C | 0 °C to 45 °C |
- Pick the NSW2020-6T-POE-IN for 1 to 4 fixed cameras, or a door station plus indoor monitor plus 2 cameras.
- Four 13 W cameras total 52 W: that still fits the 60 W budget, but the PoE-MAX light will be on, so leave the extra margin for IR at night only if each camera's real maximum is lower.
- Move up to the NSW2020-10T-POE-IN for 5 to 8 cameras; for gigabit or fibre uplinks, look at the rack models such as the NSW2020-16T2GC-POE-IN.
Both columns are from the official Uniview datasheets. Camera draws of 6 W (4 MP IR fixed), 13 W (mini PTZ) and 25.5 W (PTZ) are planning assumptions; use each camera's own max. power. 85% = budget × 0.85. All ports are copper, limited to 100 m in Default mode.
4-Port PoE Switch FAQ — NSW2020-6T-POE-IN
How many cameras can the NSW2020-6T-POE-IN handle?
Four PoE ports (1–4) share a 60 W budget — 15 W average each, with up to 30 W on a single port under IEEE 802.3af/at. Typical IP cameras draw 4–12 W, so four cameras run comfortably; ports 1–2 hold power priority if the budget tightens. Ports 5–6 are the uplinks.
How far can it push PoE to a camera?
100 m in Default mode. Slide the rear-panel switch to EXTEND and the link reaches 250 m — enough for a yard gate or a parking-lot pole without extra hardware. Power pinout is Mode B: pins 4/5 positive, 7/8 negative, per IEEE 802.3af/at.
How is the switch powered?
Through an external DC 48/51 V adapter that accepts AC 100–240 V, 50/60 Hz mains input. Whole-unit maximum consumption is 65 W. There are no fans: the 107 × 101 × 25 mm metal case cools silently and operates from 0 to 45 °C at 10–90 % humidity, non-condensing.
Is it suitable for a small shop or home CCTV kit?
That is exactly its role: plug-and-play with no configuration, a 1.2 Gbps switching fabric, 100 Mbps per port — ample for four camera streams — a 448K bit buffer and 1K MAC table, all in a 0.19 kg palm-size housing that tucks behind a counter. It is also NDAA compliant.
Which indicators and standards does it support?
LEDs show POWER, PoE-MAX and per-port LINK/ACT, so you can spot budget exhaustion at a glance. Standards covered: IEEE 802.3/802.3u Ethernet, 802.3x flow control, 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet and 802.3af/at PoE sourcing. Forwarding rate is 0.90 Mpps across the six 10/100 Mbps ports.
The NSW2020-6T-POE-IN only supports PoE Mode B. Will it still power my cameras?
Yes for any standard IEEE 802.3af or 802.3at camera, of Uniview or another brand, because the standard requires powered devices to accept power on either pair set. Mode B means power travels on pins 4/5(+) and 7/8(-). Problems only appear with non-standard or passive PoE devices wired for one pair set only, and with 802.3bt devices above 30 W.
How do I connect the NSW2020-6T-POE-IN to my NVR and router?
Cameras go on ports 1 to 4; run one cable from port 5 to the NVR's LAN port (or to a free port on the NVR's built-in PoE switch) and, if you want remote viewing, port 6 to the router. In Default mode all 6 ports talk to each other, so the NVR, cameras and router share one network. Both uplinks are 100 Mbps, which is plenty for 4 cameras: at an assumed 8 Mbps each they send 32 Mbps.
Does the NSW2020-6T-POE-IN have the VLAN (Secure) mode of the bigger NSW2020 switches?
No. Its own datasheet lists only two working modes, Default (Normal) and EXTEND (Surveillance), and no PD keepalive. The 16- and 24-port rack models such as the NSW2020-16T2GC-POE-IN add VLAN (Secure) port isolation and automatic camera restart. If you need to keep the cameras away from the office network, connect this switch to a separate NVR port or ask us for a different model.
Is 10 Mbps in EXTEND mode enough for my camera on the NSW2020-6T-POE-IN?
Usually yes, if you size the stream: the main and sub stream together must stay clearly under 10 Mbps, so use H.265 and set the main stream to a few Mbps. Uniview states that the 250 m reach needs good-quality cable and is reached by lowering the port rate to 10 Mbps. Because the mode changes the whole switch, check that the other cameras' streams also fit, or keep EXTEND off and use a second switch near the distant camera.
Should I choose the NSW2020-6T-POE-IN or the NSW2020-10T-POE-IN?
Count PoE devices now plus any you plan to add. The 6T has 4 PoE ports and 60 W; the 10T has 8 PoE ports and 88 W, with the same 100 Mbps uplinks, Mode B PoE and Default/EXTEND modes. If a 4-camera site might grow to 5 or more, or will include a 25.5 W PTZ next to 3 fixed cameras, the 10T saves replacing the switch later.
