NSW2020-16T2GC-LPOE-IN
Overview
The NSW2020-16T2GC-LPOE-IN is an unmanaged 19-inch rack-mount Fast Ethernet PoE switch with 16 × 100Mbps RJ45 PoE ports (priority ports 1-8) plus two 1000Mbps Combo RJ45/SFP uplinks (G1/SFP1, G2/SFP2), built as the low-power variant in this switch family, for machine-room and wiring-closet camera aggregation where a smaller PoE budget is enough. It delivers a 150 W total PoE budget (30 W max per port, IEEE 802.3af/at, both Mode A (1,2/3,6) and Mode B (4,5/7,8) pinout support) over the same 7.2 Gbps switching fabric with 5.36 Mpps forwarding, a 4M bit packet buffer and a 16K MAC address table, cooled passively with zero internal fans and powered from a built-in AC 100–240V supply (160 W max). The all-metal 440×195×44 mm 1U chassis (1.93 kg) runs from 0°C to 45°C and switches between Default (Normal), VLAN (Secure, downlink-to-uplink only, with PD keepalive to reboot unresponsive PoE cameras) and EXTEND (250 m surveillance reach) via a front-panel slide switch — no management software required, NDAA compliant.
Is This the Right Fit?
Six real deployment scenarios matched to this model's actual datasheet specifications.
- 150 W total budget is far tighter than a higher-power sibling model — 16 ports at the 30 W/port max would need 480 W, and even a full set of typical 9 W fixed cameras (144 W) leaves under 6 W of spare headroom across the whole switch; for higher-draw PTZ domes, multi-stream cameras, or projects that need real power headroom on every port, choose a higher-power PoE switch sibling instead (see Related Products below).
- Downlink ports are Fast Ethernet only (10/100Mbps, no Gigabit) — for 4K or multi-stream cameras that need gigabit throughput per port, choose a Gigabit PoE switch; only the two Combo uplinks (G1/SFP1, G2/SFP2) run at 1000Mbps.
- Unmanaged — no Web/CLI/SNMP access or per-port VLAN tagging; the front-panel switch offers only Default/VLAN/EXTEND positions, not granular configuration; choose a managed switch if you need remote monitoring or individual port control.
Key Features
- 16 × 100Mbps RJ45 PoE ports (priority ports 1-8) plus two 1000Mbps Combo RJ45/SFP uplinks (G1/SFP1, G2/SFP2)
- 150 W total PoE budget, up to 30 W per port, IEEE 802.3af/at, dual pinout support — Mode A (1,2/3,6) and Mode B (4,5/7,8)
- Ports 1-8 hold PoE power priority under budget contention
- Three working modes via front-panel slide switch: Default (Normal), VLAN (Secure, downlink-to-uplink only), EXTEND (250 m surveillance reach)
- VLAN (Secure) mode includes PD keepalive: automatically power-cycles an unresponsive PoE camera when it stops sending data
- IEEE 802.3x flow control, port traffic control and packet buffer optimization for smoother multi-camera streaming
- All-metal 440×195×44 mm 1U rack chassis, fanless (0 internal cooling fans) design, NDAA compliant
