The Huawei S210-8P2J is a compact HUAWEI eKit PoE+ switch with 8 Gigabit ports sharing a 128W power budget and two 2.5G SFP uplinks. It has no fan, so it suits small offices, villas and shops running cameras, access points or IP phones.
====
The Huawei S210-8P2J is a compact PoE switch from the HUAWEI eKit line, Huawei's sub-brand for small and medium businesses sold through distribution partners. It gives you 8 Gigabit ports that carry power over the network cable, two 2.5G SFP slots for uplinks, a 128W PoE budget and a fanless body. That combination fits a small office, a villa or a shop that wants cameras, access points or IP phones running from one quiet box on a desk or wall.
Huawei S210-8P2J key specifications
All eight copper ports support PoE+ at 10/100/1000 Mbps. The two SFP slots run at 100M, 1G or 2.5G, so you can link the switch to a router or a core switch over fiber or a copper SFP module.
- 8 GE RJ45 ports, all PoE+.
- 2 SFP slots up to 2.5G.
- Maximum PoE power: 128W.
- Full load: 4 ports at 30W (802.3at) or 8 ports at 15.4W (802.3af).
- Metal chassis with natural, fanless cooling.
Planning your 128W PoE budget
The number that matters on a PoE switch is the total budget, not just the port count. Huawei rates this model to feed all 8 ports at 15.4W each, which covers most fixed CCTV cameras and desk IP phones. If your devices draw 30W, such as some newer access points or PTZ cameras, the switch powers 4 of them at full load. Add up the draw from each device's datasheet before you buy.
Silent design for offices and homes
There is no fan, so the switch makes no noise in a meeting room, a majlis or a small hallway cabinet. It measures 43.6 x 195 x 160 mm, weighs 1.60 kg and mounts on a desk or a wall. Power comes from an external adapter rated for 170 to 264 V AC, and the unit has surge protection up to ±4 kV.
Where it fits in Saudi Arabia
- A two-floor villa: 4 outdoor cameras, 2 access points and an NVR on one switch.
- A shop or pharmacy: cameras, an IP phone and the POS terminal in the same cabinet.
- A small branch or real estate office: IP phones for staff and Wi-Fi for visitors.
- An istiraha or farm: one switch in the main building powering nearby cameras, with a fiber uplink through an SFP slot when the distance is long.
Compatibility
The switch powers any device that follows 802.3af or 802.3at, whether it is a camera, an access point or an IP phone from Huawei or another brand. The SFP slots take 1G or 2.5G modules, so you pick the module by fiber type and distance.
S210-8P2J or S210-24P2J?
The difference is size, power and mounting. The S210-8P2J has 8 PoE+ ports, 128W, no fan, an external adapter and desk or wall mounting. The S210-24P2J has 24 PoE+ ports, 400W, a built-in power supply with two fans and a 1U rack-mount chassis. Pick the 8-port model for up to 8 PoE devices, and the 24-port model when you need more ports or a rack install.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many cameras can the Huawei S210-8P2J power?
Up to 8 cameras at 15.4W each, or 4 devices at 30W, within its 128W total PoE budget.
Does it need its own power outlet?
Yes, it runs from an external adapter rated 170 to 264 V AC, and Huawei lists a 220 V adapter with the unit. Connected devices then draw power from the switch over Ethernet.
Is the S210-8P2J noisy?
No. It has no fan and relies on natural cooling, so it suits offices, meeting rooms and living spaces.
