Hikvision DS-3E0518P-E Unmanaged 16-Port Gigabit PoE Network Switch for More Cameras, 230W

The Hikvision DS-3E0518P-E is a rack-mountable unmanaged PoE switch with sixteen Gigabit PoE ports, one Gigabit RJ45 uplink and one Gigabit SFP fibre uplink. It suits a system that is growing to many more cameras.

It supports IEEE 802.3af and 802.3at, with up to 30W per PoE port. The total PoE budget is up to 230W, so add up the power your cameras need before filling all sixteen ports.

Surge protection of 6 kV helps keep the switch running reliably. The metal chassis is made for rack mounting, and setup is plug and play, with no configuration.

If you only need a few more ports, the Hikvision DS-3E0505P-E (4-port) and DS-3E0510P-E (8-port) are smaller options.

Sixteen ports with a 230W budget leave room to grow, but do the sums for your cameras first. Most cameras use well under the 30W port limit, while PTZ cameras and some cameras with lights draw more.
