Uniview NSW2020-6T-POE-IN 6-Port Switch with 4 PoE Ports, 60W

The Uniview NSW2020-6T-POE-IN is a compact unmanaged switch with six 100 Mbps ports, four of them PoE with a 60W total budget. It suits a villa, shop or rest house running four IP cameras that should take power and data over one cable.

====

The Uniview NSW2020-6T-POE-IN answers the first question in any small camera install: how do you get power to each camera? It has six 100 Mbps Ethernet ports, and four of them deliver PoE, carrying data and power over the same cable from a 60W shared budget. That makes it a good fit for a villa, a shop or a rest house with four IP cameras and one recorder.

Uniview NSW2020-6T-POE-IN at a glance

This is an unmanaged switch. Plug in the adapter and the cables and it works, with no software or setup. The key figures:

• 6 RJ45 ports at 100 Mbps, 4 of them PoE.
• 60W total PoE budget, up to 30W on a single port.
• IEEE 802.3af and 802.3at support.
• 1.2 Gbps switching capacity, 0.90 Mpps forwarding rate.
• External power adapter rated for 100-240V input.

Planning the 60W PoE budget

The budget matters more than the port count. Any single port can supply 30W, but the four powered devices together must stay under 60W. A quick example: four cameras drawing 12W each total 48W, which leaves headroom. Two devices at 30W each would use the whole budget on their own. Check each camera's rated consumption on its product page before you buy.

A PoE-MAX LED on the front lights up once the load passes 85% of the budget, a clear signal to stop adding devices.

Extend mode for runs up to 250 meters

Standard Ethernet runs top out around 100 meters. Switch on Extend (surveillance) mode and the link reaches up to 250 meters. Use it for a camera at a farm gate or on a far boundary wall instead of adding a second switch halfway along the cable. In Default mode, every port talks to every other port as usual.

Typical uses in Saudi Arabia

• Single-storey villa: four outdoor cameras on the entrance, yard, parking and back door.
• Shop or pharmacy: two cameras on the floor, one over the till and one at the door.
• Farm or istiraha: a distant gate camera reached with Extend mode.
• Small office: an access point or IP phone next to two or three cameras.

Installation notes

The switch measures 107 x 101 x 25 mm and weighs 0.19 kg. It has no fan, so it runs silently inside a small cabinet or on top of the NVR. The rated operating range is 0 to 45°C, so keep it indoors in a cooled or shaded space, never on a sun-exposed roof. The two non-PoE ports are the natural place for the recorder and the router.

NSW2020-6T-POE-IN or NSW2100-6GT-POE-IN?

Both have six ports with four PoE. The NSW2100-6GT-POE-IN runs every port at gigabit speed, offers a 65W budget, has a built-in power supply and adds app management with VLANs and port isolation. Choose the NSW2020-6T-POE-IN for home cameras that are fine at 100 Mbps and may need long Extend runs; choose the NSW2100 for newer access points or per-port control.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many cameras can the NSW2020-6T-POE-IN power?

Up to four, as long as their combined draw stays under the 60W budget and no single device needs more than 30W.

Does it need configuration?

No. It is unmanaged and works as soon as it is connected. The only choice is enabling Extend mode for runs longer than about 100 meters.

Are the ports gigabit?

No, all six ports run at 100 Mbps, which covers most surveillance cameras. For gigabit in a similar size, look at the NSW2100-6GT-POE-IN.
