The S802GI pairs 8 Fast Ethernet PoE ports with 2 Gigabit RJ45 uplinks in a compact fanless case -- the switch most installers reach for on a straightforward 8-camera job. No single IP camera fills a 100Mbps link, but eight streams converging on one uplink can, so the Gigabit backhaul keeps the NVR feed smooth even at full load. Built-in IEEE 802.3af/at PoE+ powers the cameras directly off the same cable, and the optional 250m Extend mode reaches the one camera that's always too far from the panel. Choose the 96W S802GI for typical loads or the 120W S802GI, which adds a watchdog auto-reset, for PTZ or IR-illuminated cameras.
Is This the Right Fit?
Six real deployment scenarios matched to this model's actual datasheet specifications.
- Not a managed switch -- no VLAN segmentation, spanning-tree, or web management interface. Choose a managed model if the project needs VLANs or loop-prevention protocols.
- No ring-network redundancy protocol -- built for star, tree, and bus topologies, not self-healing ring recovery.
- Commercial -10°C to +70°C rated in a desktop/wall-mount metal case without 19-inch rack ears -- not for extreme industrial wide-temperature sites or standard 19-inch rack rows.
Key Features
- IEEE 802.3af/at PoE+, 30W per Port — Delivers up to 30W on every port -- runs PTZ domes, IR-illuminated cameras, and PoE access points with no separate injector.
- Smart Powered-Device Detection — Identifies a genuine PD before energizing the port, so a miswired cable or non-PoE device won't get fried and idle ports don't waste power.
- FE Access + Gigabit Uplink — A single camera never fills a 100Mbps link, but eight streams converging on one switch need gigabit headroom to stay smooth.
- 250m Extend Mode — Stretches power and data delivery to 250 meters when switched on (link rate steps down to 10Mbps) -- reach a gate camera or a back-lot pole without a mid-span switch.
- One Cable for Power and Data — No separate power run to pull -- camera power and video ride the same Cat5e/6 cable, cutting cable cost and install labor on every point.
- Fanless, Silent, Maintenance-Free — Sealed metal enclosure with zero moving parts -- silent, dust-tolerant, and maintenance-free tucked in a back office, ceiling void, or equipment cabinet.
- 96W or 120W, Watchdog on the High-Power Version — Available in 96W and 120W PoE power budgets, with the 120W version adding a watchdog auto-reset for heavier PTZ/IR loads -- pick the version that matches the job.

| S802GI | Standard 96 W PoE budget — fits typical fixed cameras, wireless APs and video intercoms. | |
| S802GI | High-power 120 W version — for PTZ domes, IR illuminators and other heavy loads. This version also adds a hardware watchdog that auto-resets the switch if it hangs under load. |
One model, two PoE power versions. Both share the same ports, housing and features; the 120 W version raises the total PoE budget and adds a hardware watchdog for heavy loads. State the power version you need when ordering.
Dimensions

Who uses it, where it goes and how to install it
Written for the S802GI from its own specifications: 8 × 10/100M PoE ports, 2 × gigabit RJ45 uplinks, 96 W or 120 W PoE budget, 30 W per port, 250 m extend mode, fanless IP30 metal case.
Who it is for
- Installers on standard 8-camera jobs — Convenience stores, restaurants, clinics and small warehouses: 100M is plenty for each camera, and the gigabit uplink carries all 8 streams to the NVR with room to spare.
- Projects growing past 8 cameras — Two gigabit uplinks mean one goes to the NVR and the other to the next switch, so 16 or 24 cameras can be added in a chain without the uplink becoming the bottleneck, as it would on the 100M S802EI.
- Gas stations and sites with PTZs — Forecourt and lane cameras with a PTZ or two: the 120 W version gives the power headroom and adds a hardware watchdog that resets the switch if it hangs.
- Distributors and private label — Atlas factory-direct model: neutral casing ready for your logo, custom port/power options, chipset options on a project basis and small batches.
Where and how to install
- Near the middle of the camera runs — Put it where every camera cable stays under 100 m measured along the route, often a back office or ceiling-level cabinet rather than next to the NVR. Use the 250 m extend mode only for the one camera that cannot be reached otherwise.
- Desk, wall or cabinet, not rack — The 173 × 124 × 38 mm metal case goes on a desk or wall; it has no 19-inch rack ears, so in a rack put it on a shelf. It is IP30: indoors only, or inside a sealed outdoor cabinet.
- Ventilation — Fanless means the metal case is the heatsink. Rated -10 to +70°C and 5–95% non-condensing: leave space above it, keep it out of direct sun and away from lamps in a ceiling void, and add vents to a closed cabinet.
- Uplink wiring — Gigabit uplink 1 to the NVR LAN port, uplink 2 to the router or the next switch. Use Cat5e or better for gigabit, keep it under 100 m, and never connect two switches with two cables: there is no STP, so a loop floods the network.
- Surge, earthing and mains — No surge rating is listed: on pole-mounted forecourt or gate cameras add Ethernet surge protectors and earth the cabinet. Input is AC 100–240 V, so it runs directly on 110/127 V or 220/240 V mains. A small UPS keeps cameras and NVR up through short outages.
PoE budget: how many cameras
Power, not ports, is the limit only when PTZs or heavy-IR cameras are involved: 8 ordinary cameras use half of the 96 W. The gigabit uplink removes the bandwidth limit of the S802EI: 8 cameras at 16 Mbps (4K) are about 128 Mbps, far below 1000 Mbps.
| S802GI · 96 W | S802GI · 120 W | |
|---|---|---|
| PoE ports / uplinks | 8 × 10/100M PoE / 2 × 1000M RJ45 | 8 × 10/100M PoE / 2 × 1000M RJ45 |
| Total PoE budget | 96 W | 120 W |
| Max. power on one port | 30 W | 30 W |
| Fixed IR cameras at 6 W each | 8 (48 W) | 8 (48 W) |
| Small PTZ / heavy-IR cameras at 13 W, keeping 20% reserve | 5 (65 W) | 7 (91 W) |
| 30 W devices at full load | 3 (90 W) | 4 (120 W) |
| Mixed example | 1 × 30 W + 7 × 6 W = 72 W | 2 × 30 W + 6 × 6 W = 96 W |
| 8 cameras at 16 Mbps on the 1000M uplink | 128 Mbps | 128 Mbps |
| Copper cable per port | 100 m | 100 m |
| Extend mode | 250 m @ 10 Mbps | 250 m @ 10 Mbps |
| Watchdog auto-reset | — | ✓ |
- Pick 96 W for 8 fixed cameras, APs or intercoms: 8 × 6 W is only 48 W.
- Pick 120 W when 2 PTZs at 30 W share the switch with fixed cameras, or the site is unattended and needs the watchdog.
- NVR more than 100 m away: the S802GIGFI is the same switch with an extra SFP fibre slot.
Camera counts assume typical draws of 6 W (fixed IR camera) and 13 W (small PTZ or heavy-IR camera); 30 W rows use the whole budget with no reserve. 16 Mbps is an assumed 4K main-stream bitrate; check each camera's own datasheet.
