Hikvision L2 Smart Managed 16 port Gigabit Smart PoE Switch with 2x Gigabit SFP Ports, Metal material Shell, 16 x Gigabit PoE Port, 2 x Gigabit SFP Fiber Optical Port, Ports 1 to 16 up to 300m, 30 W Maximum Port Power, 230 W PoE Power budget

Overview:

The Hikvision DS-3E1518P-SI-16P2F is a 16 port Gigabit Smart PoE switch designed for reliable network connectivity and efficient power delivery to compatible devices. With 16 Gigabit PoE ports and 2 Gigabit SFP fiber ports, it provides a flexible networking solution for IP cameras, wireless access points, VoIP phones and other PoE-enabled equipment. The 230 W PoE power budget allows multiple connected devices to receive power directly through the network cables, helping simplify installations.

Description:

The Hikvision DS-3E1518P-SI-16P2F combines Gigabit Ethernet connectivity with smart network management and PoE support. Its metal housing provides a durable design for network installations, while the two SFP ports allow for Gigabit fiber uplinks where longer-distance or fiber-based connectivity is required.

Ports 1 to 16 support extended transmission distances of up to 300 metres when used with compatible equipment and suitable cabling. Each PoE port can deliver up to 30 W, with a total available PoE power budget of 230 W. This makes the switch well suited to surveillance networks and other installations where several powered network devices need to operate from a central switch.

The switch also includes network management functions such as VLAN tagging, loop prevention and storm control. Cable detection can assist with locating cable faults, while 6 kV surge protection helps provide additional protection for connected network equipment.

Features:

Gigabit PoE Networking for IP Devices
With 16 x 10/100/1000M PoE ports, the switch can connect and power a range of compatible devices without requiring separate power supplies at each endpoint. Gigabit speeds provide suitable bandwidth for demanding network applications, including IP surveillance systems.

The two 100/1000M SFP ports provide options for Gigabit fiber optical connections, making the DS-3E1518P-SI-16P2F suitable for installations where a fiber uplink is preferred.

Key technical points include:

• 16 x 10/100/1000M Gigabit PoE ports
• 2 x 100/1000M SFP fiber optical ports
• 230 W total PoE power budget
• Up to 30 W PoE power per port
• Ports 1 to 16 support transmission distances of up to 300 m
• Metal material shell
• IEEE 802.1Q VLAN tagging support
• STP, RSTP and ERPS loop prevention
• Storm control support
• Cable detection for locating connection failures
• 6 kV surge protection
• User-configurable energy saving plans

Smart Network Management
The switch provides useful Layer 2 smart management capabilities for businesses, surveillance installations and structured network environments. IEEE 802.1Q VLAN support allows network traffic to be logically separated, while STP, RSTP and ERPS help reduce the risk of network loops affecting connectivity.

Storm control provides an additional method of managing excessive network traffic, helping maintain stable network performance when connected devices generate unexpected traffic levels.

Energy Saving and Installation Support
An energy saving mode with user-configurable plans can help manage power usage according to the requirements of the installation. Cable detection is also included, giving installers and network administrators a practical way to identify potential cable faults.

For surveillance and security applications, the extended PoE transmission capability can help simplify installations where cameras or other network devices need to be positioned further from the switch.

Hikvision DS-3E1518P-SI-16P2F for Network and Surveillance Systems
The DS-3E1518P-SI-16P2F is a practical choice for CCTV networks, offices, access control systems, wireless networking and other installations requiring multiple Gigabit PoE connections. Its combination of 16 PoE ports, a 230 W power budget and dual Gigabit SFP uplinks provides flexibility for expanding a network while reducing the need for separate power infrastructure.
