Edge networks are carrying more than ever, Wi-Fi 6/6E backhaul, cloud SaaS, high-density IP surveillance—yet IT teams still need predictable operations and clean upgrades. The NS-S5000 Switches from Network-Switch deliver exactly that: same-class gigabit access with multi-rate fiber uplinks, wrapped in a platform you can customize from bezel and logo to day-0 software defaults.
If you’re standardizing a campus or building a branded service portfolio, these managed switches let you deploy a network that looks and behaves like your product line.
Product Overview
Why NS-S5000 line for SMB Network?
Network-Switch positions the NS-S5000 line for SMB floors, branch closets, and enterprise campus access where standards compliance and lifecycle stability matter most:
- Familiar access + uplinks: 10/24/48 × RJ45 ports for 10/100/1000 access, with SFP ports that support 1G/2.5G uplinks (model-dependent). This multi-rate design gives you a gentle upgrade path from 1G risers to 2.5G backbones without re-cabling the edge.
- Layer 2+ feature set: 802.1Q VLAN, MSTP/RSTP, LACP, QoS with 802.1p/DSCP mapping, IGMP Snooping, and security controls (802.1X, DHCP Snooping, IP Source Guard, DAI). Select models include Lite-L3 such as static routing and RIP for small-campus segmentation.
- PoE+ choices: PoE variants support IEEE 802.3af/at with scheduled power, priority, and hot-start continuity—ideal for APs and PTZ cameras—while keeping budgets predictable at the closet.
- Operational polish: Temperature-aware fan control and fault alarms, plus 6 kV surge protection on comms ports in this class improve resilience in real-world wiring closets.
Customization (your differentiator): We can pre-load VLAN plans, QoS/AAA/SNMP/Syslog defaults, apply port role templates (AP/phone/camera/user), and ship the chassis with your logo and exterior style. That means faster rollouts and fewer day-0 mistakes—at scale.

Software & Management Capabilities
All NS-S5000 Switches ship with the controls you expect in enterprise managed switches:
- Segmentation & resiliency: 802.1Q VLANs (voice/data/video), MSTP/RSTP for loop protection, LACP for active-active uplinks, and port isolation/private VLAN edge.
- QoS for real-time apps: 802.1p/DSCP classification, egress queues, shaping/policing to prioritize voice/video while rate-limiting bulk traffic.
- Multicast hygiene: IGMP Snooping and querier reduce flood domains for IPTV and camera networks.
- Security at the edge: 802.1X (port/mobile), DHCP Snooping, IP Source Guard, Dynamic ARP Inspection, and storm/broadcast control.
- Ops & observability: Web UI, CLI/SSH, SNMP, Syslog/RMON; temperature-aware fans with alarming; 6 kV surge on communications ports in this class.
- Lite-L3 options: Select access models in this class support static routing and RIP, useful for micro-segmented small campuses without a separate router.
Deployment Scenarios & Design Notes
High-density access with 2.5G uplinks (NS-S5000-48GT4MS-E)
When a floor hosts dozens of APs and endpoints, 48×1G access with four 2.5G SFP uplinks balances cost and headroom—especially during phased backbone upgrades from 1G to 2.5G. The 48-port class lists 116 Gbps switching capacity to keep backplane contention low at scale.
Mainstream SMB/enterprise floors (NS-S5000-24GT4MS-E)
For typical offices or classrooms, 24×1G access with 4×1G/2.5G SFP uplinks hits the sweet spot. Fanless operation and sub-20 W consumption (non-PoE) make it a gentle thermal/cooling load for older IDFs.
PoE+ edge for APs and cameras (NS-S5000-24GT4MS-P-E / 10GT2MS-P-E)
PoE+ models power Wi-Fi 6 APs, VoIP phones, and PTZ cameras from a single switch. Expect af/at support, scheduled power controls, port priority, and hot-start continuity; the 24-port PoE+ class shows < 403 W at full PoE load, so right-size circuits accordingly.
Compact branch and kiosk builds (NS-S5000-10GT2MS-E)
Ten copper drops with two 1G/2.5G SFP uplinks is the right footprint for pop-up retail, labs, or security closets. Published switching capacity varies from 30 to 36 Gbps, which is ample for small domains with a couple of resilient uplinks.
Optics & Cabling Guidance
| Uplink Type | Recommended Optics / Cables | Typical Use Case | Notes |
| SFP (1G/2.5G) on MS-uplink models | 1G SR/LR SFP; 2.5G SFP where available; multi-rate optics preferred | Phased upgrades from 1G to 2.5G backbones | Many uplink cages on this class accept 1G/2.5G SFP; where 2.5G optics aren’t available, use 1G and upgrade later. |
| RJ45 access (10/100/1000) | Cat5e/Cat6 twisted pair | PCs, phones, APs, cameras, printers | Up to 100 m; enable Energy-Efficient Ethernet where supported to reduce draw. |
| PoE cabling | Cat5e/Cat6 with solid copper | APs/PTZs/phones | Plan for PoE+ voltage drop on long runs; leverage port priority and PoE scheduling on PoE SKUs. |
| Redundancy | LACP across SFP uplinks | Active-active uplinks to distribution | Pair with MSTP/RSTP and edge guards (BPDU/loop guard) for safety. |
NS vs. Fixed-Brand Access Switches
| Feature / Aspect | NS-S5000 Switches | Fixed-Brand OEM Access Switches | Other Third-Party Resellers |
| Performance & Specs | Same-class hardware with 1G access + 1G/2.5G SFP uplinks; robust L2/Lite-L3 | OEM-grade; may tie features to proprietary optics/licensing | Mixed; can include re-badged/refurb units |
| Customization | Full exterior + software defaults (logo, bezel, VLAN/QoS/AAA templates) | Branding/defaults fixed; little to no personalization | Minimal cosmetics; config done post-purchase |
| Compatibility | Standards-aligned SFP ports/RJ45 ports; no lock-in | Potential vendor lock on optics/features | Varies; CLI workarounds often required |
| After-Sales Support | 24/7 helpdesk, fast RMA, ongoing EEPROM/firmware updates | Business-hours support; 5–7 day RMA typical | Limited support; 7–14 day RMA common |
| Pricing & TCO | Typically ~30% below OEM; no hidden licenses | Premium list price; feature licenses possible | Slightly cheaper than OEM with fewer guarantees |
| Inventory & Lead Time | Custom SKUs; pre-configured “ready-to-deploy” units | Standard SKUs only | Inconsistent stock; long-tail lead times |
FAQs
Q1: Do the uplink SFP slots support both 1G and 2.5G?
A: Yes, models with “MS” uplinks are designed for 1G/2.5G SFP operation, enabling phased riser upgrades.
Q2: Which PoE standards are supported on PoE models?
A: IEEE 802.3af/at (PoE/PoE+) with scheduled power, port priority, and hot-start continuity. Reference the PoE budget table for each SKU (e.g., < 403 W full load on 24-port PoE+).
Q3: Are there fanless options?
A: Yes, the 24-port non-PoE class is listed as fanless with low typical draw, ideal for quiet IDFs.
Q4: What Lite-L3 functions exist?
A: Static routes and RIP appear in the series documentation for small-campus segmentation (feature availability can vary by model/firmware).
Q5: Can you preload my configuration and branding?
A: Absolutely. We can apply your logo, exterior styling, and software profiles so each closet boots with the same baseline.
Conclusion
If you want Access Switches that match the stability of big-brand gear but carry your brand and your defaults, NS-S5000 Switches are the straight line to consistency.
