Hikvision 16 Port Gigabit Unmanaged PoE Switch - DS-3E0518P-E/M, 16 × Gigabit PoE Ports, 2 × Gigabit SFP Fiber Optical Port

Hikvision DS-3E0518P-E/M is a 16 Port Gigabit Unmanaged PoE Switch. A Power over Ethernet (PoE) Switch is the central part of an IP camera network. PoE technology sends power and data over a single Ethernet cable. Devices connected to PoE ports get both power and data through the same Ethernet cable. This removes the need for separate power sources for each device. It also makes installation easier. This PoE switch comes with the following features and benefits:

• 16 × Gigabit PoE Ports: The switch has 16 Gigabit PoE ports. They provide high-speed Gigabit data connectivity and Power over Ethernet cable. This powers and connects up to 16 cameras and other devices in the network.

• 2 × Gigabit Uplink Ports: The switch has 2 Gigabit Uplink Ports. These ports support Gigabit speeds, which means they can transfer data at up to 1,000 Mbps. These Uplink ports connect the switch to the broader network such as a router in a network.

• Gigabit network access: This switch allows connected devices to have Gigabit network access. It lets them transfer data at Gigabit speeds of up to 1,000 Mbps.

• IEEE 802.3af/at/ PoE Standard: The IEEE ratified the PoE standard. IEEE 802.3af Standard ensures it delivers up to 15.4 watts of DC power (12.95 watts for devices) over Ethernet cables. IEEE 802.3at Standard, also known as PoE+, allows for higher power levels. It provides up to 30 watts of DC power (25.5 watts for devices) over Ethernet cables. This PoE switch is compliant with the both IEEE 802.3at and IEEE 802.3af standards.

• Max. 30 W Port Power: This PoE Switch has a maximum power output of 30 watts per port. This means it can deliver up to 30W of power per port to PoE-enabled devices, such as IP cameras, connected to it.

• 125W PoE Power Budget: This PoE Switch has a 125 W total power budget. It means the switch can deliver a total power of up to 125W to all the connected PoE-enabled devices via its 16 ports.

• PoE Power Management: PoE switches form the central part of an efficient IP camera system. They provide high-speed Gigabit data transfer and Power over Ethernet. This switch can serve up to 16 cameras and other devices on the network via its 16 ports. This centralizes power management to the cameras and other PoE devices. It also removes the need for separate power sources for each device.

• 6 KV surge protection for PoE ports: The PoE ports have 6 KV surge protection. They can handle surges of up to 6,000 volts without damaging connected devices. This feature ensures that the connected devices in the network are durable.

• Easy Plug-and-play Installation: This PoE switch is easy to install and use.

• Rack Mountable PoE Switch: The switch fits in a standard wall mount rack. Using a rack ensures its durability via efficient heat dissipation from the switch. It also ensures efficient space management and clutter-free design and installation.

• Solid high-strength metal shell: This PoE switch comes in a solid metal shell. It offers superior protection for the internal electronics and components. This protection makes the switch more durable.
