Ubiquiti N-SW User guide

  • Hello, I've reviewed the N-SW Quick Start Guide and am ready to assist you with any questions about this network switch. The document provides details on installation, including pole and wall mounting, recommended cable and surge protection, and also describes its PoE capabilities. I can answer your questions related to these topics.
  • What type of cabling should be used for Ethernet connections?
    What is the recommended power supply for the N-SW?
    Is surge protection required for outdoor installations?
    What kind of PoE does N-SW provide?
We recommend that you protect your networks from harmful outdoor
environments and electrostatic discharge phenomena with Ubiquiti's
Industrial Grade Shielded Ethernet Cable. For more details, visit: ui.com/toughcable

Tapping screw
Category 5 (or higher) shielded cabling with a drain wire must be used on all
Ethernet connections and must be connected to the AC ground of the PoE.
7mm socket wrench or screwdriver
Surge protection must be used on all outdoor installations. We recommend
that you use two surge protectors (model ETH-SP-G2), one near the N-SW
and the other at the entry point of the building. The ETH-SP-G2 will absorb
surge voltages and safely discharge them to the ground.
Mounting hardware and drain line are not included.

The LED indicator will light blue when the device is connected to a power source.
Drain wire connection (optional)
The RJ45 port supports 10/100/1000 Ethernet connections and 24V passive PoE outputs and 2 pairs
of switch power. For a maximum power consumption of 30 W, we recommend power supply with the
PoE adapter POE-24-30W-G-WH (not included).
PoE output (ports 1 - 3)
WARNING: Do not supply PoE output greater than 24 W total (24 V, 1 A) per port or 30 W
total output; otherwise it will damage the NanoSwitch.
