The Atlas S402EI is a compact 6-port unmanaged Fast Ethernet PoE switch built for small camera installations. It provides 4 x 10/100M PoE ports (IEEE802.3af/at, up to 30W per port with smart powered-device detection) plus 2 x 10/100M uplink ports, all inside a fanless IP30 metal enclosure drawing up to 52W. An Extend mode stretches the PoE and data link out to 250m on any port by stepping the link rate down to 10Mbps, so installers can run a camera well past the standard 100m Ethernet limit without adding a separate power line at the far end. Store-and-forward switching, auto-negotiation with auto MDI/MDIX, and a built-in watchdog auto-reset keep the unit stable under continuous camera loads, while the -10 to +70°C rated housing covers unheated cabinets, gate booths and rooftop enclosures.
Is This the Right Fit?
Six real deployment scenarios matched to this model's actual datasheet specifications.
- Unmanaged Layer 2 only — no VLAN segmentation or STP/RSTP; choose a managed switch if network isolation or spanning tree is required.
- No ring/loop redundancy protocol — wire in star, tree or bus topology only; do not create physical wiring loops between ports.
- Commercial-grade -10 to +70°C housing in a compact desktop/wall-mount form factor — not rated for industrial wide-temperature extremes and not rack-mountable without accessories.
Key Features
- 4 x 10/100M PoE ports, IEEE802.3af/at, up to 30W per port with smart PD detection
- 2 x 10/100M uplink ports to NVR or router
- Extend mode: PoE + data reach up to 250m (link rate steps down to 10Mbps)
- No extra power cable to the camera — PoE carries power and data on one cable, cutting install cost
- Fanless metal housing — silent operation, no moving parts to fail
- Built-in watchdog auto-reset keeps the switch stable under heavy camera loads
- Store-and-forward switching with flow control, auto-negotiation and auto MDI/MDIX

All three configurations share the same fanless metal housing, the same 52 W PoE budget with 30 W per port, IEEE 802.3af/at support and the same −10 to +70 °C rating. The two Gigabit configurations follow the standard 100 m copper limit — for longer runs use the SFP fibre version. A fibre-uplink version, S4G02GFI-SFP, is listed separately.

Who uses it, where it goes and how to install it
Written for the Atlas S402EI / S4G02GI from their own specifications: 4 PoE ports (802.3af/at) + 2 uplinks, 52 W budget with up to 30 W per port, Fast Ethernet with 250 m extend mode (S402EI) or full gigabit (S4G02GI), fanless desktop or wall mount.
Who it is for
- Small shops, homes and offices with 2 to 4 cameras — 4 PoE ports run 4 fixed IR cameras at a typical 6 W (24 W) with room to spare, and the 2 uplinks connect straight to a 4-channel NVR and the router. The unit is only 128 × 110 × 32 mm (S402EI) and fanless, so it sits quietly on a shelf.
- Installers reaching a far gate or car park camera — The S402EI's extend mode reaches up to 250 m on a port at 10 Mbps, so a small switch in a gate booth or outbuilding can power a camera beyond the 100 m Ethernet limit without a repeater.
- Projects with 4K or multi-sensor cameras — The S4G02GI version has gigabit on all 6 ports, so it can also feed a gigabit AP or sit in a gigabit network; it has no extend mode and keeps the standard 100 m per cable.
- Distributors stocking a small private-label switch — An Atlas factory-direct model with a neutral casing ready for your logo, custom port/power options and small batches; 50 units per carton for the S402EI and 40 for the S4G02GI.
Where and how to install
- Shelf or wall, indoors or inside a closed box — Mount it on a desk, shelf or wall; it is not rack-mountable without accessories. The case is IP30, so in a gate booth, garage or on a roof it must sit inside a weatherproof enclosure; the rating is -10 °C to +70 °C and 5–95% RH without condensation, so keep the box out of direct sun and away from condensation.
- Mains power: AC 100–240 V — The supply is built in (DC 52 V 1 A) with AC 100–240 V input, so it runs directly on 110–127 V or 220–240 V mains. Total consumption is under 52 W at full load, which is small enough for the same UPS as a 4-channel NVR.
- Camera cable lengths — Normal mode: up to 100 m of Cat5e/Cat6 per camera. S402EI only: extend mode for up to 250 m at 10 Mbps on that port. Use solid pure-copper cable; on long PoE runs copper-clad aluminium loses too much voltage and the camera reboots at night when its IR turns on.
- Uplink to the NVR or router — Connect the NVR to one uplink and the router to the other, each by copper up to 100 m. There is no SFP slot on these two versions: if the run back to the recorder is longer than 100 m, the S4G02GFI-SFP has 2 fibre uplinks. Never connect both uplinks to the same switch, since there is no STP to stop the loop.
- Earthing and surge on outdoor cables — The page lists reverse-polarity and overload protection but no surge rating. A 250 m cable to a gate or pole picks up lightning surges easily, so fit an Ethernet surge protector at the switch end, earth the enclosure and use the earthed plug of the supplied power cord.
PoE budget: how many cameras
The 52 W total, not the 30 W per port, is the limit, and the page gives under 52 W as the whole unit's full-load consumption, so plan with headroom: 4 fixed cameras use about 24 W, but 4 mini PTZ at 13 W would already be 52 W. In practice that means up to 3 mini PTZ, or 1 large PTZ plus 3 fixed cameras.
| S402EI | S4G02GI | S4G02GFI-SFP | |
|---|---|---|---|
| PoE ports / uplinks | 4 + 2 RJ45 | 4 + 2 RJ45 | 4 + 2 SFP |
| Access port speed | 10/100 Mbps | 10/100/1000 Mbps | 10/100/1000 Mbps |
| PoE budget / max per port | 52 W / 30 W | 52 W / 30 W | 52 W / 30 W |
| 4 MP IR cameras at 6 W | 4 (24 W) | 4 (24 W) | 4 (24 W) |
| Mini PTZ at 13 W | 3 (39 W) | 3 (39 W) | 3 (39 W) |
| Large PTZ at 25 W + fixed at 6 W | 1 + 3 (43 W) | 1 + 3 (43 W) | 1 + 3 (43 W) |
| Extend mode | 250 m @ 10 Mbps | — (100 m) | — (100 m) |
| Uplink: copper (100 m) / SFP fibre | 2 × 100 Mbps copper | 2 × GE copper | 2 × 1000Base-X SFP |
| Size | 128 × 110 × 32 mm | 145.8 × 114.2 × 36 mm | 145.8 × 114.2 × 36 mm |
- 2–4 ordinary cameras next to the NVR, or one camera up to 250 m away: the S402EI; 4 cameras at 8 Mbps use 32 Mbps, well inside its 100 Mbps uplink.
- A gigabit AP or a gigabit network: the S4G02GI. The switch more than 100 m from the recorder: the S4G02GFI-SFP with fibre uplinks.
- More than 4 cameras, or 2 large PTZ: move to an 8-port model such as the S802EI.
Camera draws (6 W, 13 W, 25 W) are typical assumptions, not page figures: add up the maximum power from each camera's datasheet, since IR and heaters raise the draw at night. Counts keep headroom because the page states under 52 W for the whole unit at full load. S4G02GFI-SFP figures come from its own page on this site.
