The Ubiquiti NanoSwitch (N-SW) is an unmanaged, weather-resistant 4 port Gigabit switch designed for rugged outdoor deployments. It simplifies infrastructure by providing an “always-on” 24V passive PoE passthrough, making it an ideal solution for powering multiple outdoor devices, such as access points or cameras, from a single uplink.

Key Features
- Outdoor Ready: Features a durable, weather-resistant enclosure built to withstand harsh environmental conditions.
- Simplified Power: Eliminates the need for multiple power runs; the unit is powered via the PoE-in port and distributes power to connected devices automatically.
- Compact Design: Easily mountable on poles or walls for quick, flexible installation in diverse network topologies.
- High-Speed Connectivity: Full Gigabit throughput across all ports ensures non-blocking performance for high-bandwidth data applications.
Important Note: The NanoSwitch uses “always-on” 24V passive PoE. Before connecting any device to the PoE-out ports, ensure that your equipment is compatible with 24V 2-pair passive PoE to avoid potential hardware damage. This device does not support 802.3af/at (Active PoE) standards.
