The Ubiquiti NanoSwitch (Model: N-SW) is a compact, unmanaged 4-port Gigabit passthrough switch designed for outdoor deployment. Functioning as a high-efficiency power strip for 24V passive PoE devices, it allows network administrators to power and connect up to three external devices—such as airMAX CPE radios, UniFi Video cameras, or outdoor access points—using a single Ethernet drop cable.
Engineered with a weather-resistant polycarbonate casing built to withstand extreme environmental conditions, the NanoSwitch features (1) Gigabit PoE-In port and (3) Gigabit Passive PoE-Out ports. The device operates entirely on 24V 2-pair passive power passthrough, eliminating the need for localized AC outlets or bulky junction boxes. With 4\text{ Gbps} of total non-blocking switching throughput and \pm 24\text{ kV} ESD/EMP surge protection, the switch maintains high operational stability in demanding outdoor tower or wall installations.
Comprehensive Key Features:
Outdoor Weather-Resistant Design: Durable UV-stabilized white polycarbonate chassis designed for pole or wall mounting.
24V Passive PoE Passthrough: Receives 24V passive 2-pair PoE power on Port 1 and passes power out across Ports 2–4.
4 Gbps Non-Blocking Capacity: Delivers full 10/100/1000 Mbps line-rate switching throughput simultaneously across all 4 Gigabit ports.
Simplified Multi-Device Deployment: Power strip functionality enables powering up to three 24V devices from a single main PoE injector line.
High ESD Protection: Heavy-duty electrostatic discharge protection (\pm 24\text{ kV} air and contact) for outdoor survival against atmospheric interference.
