Hikvision DS-3E0518P-E(B) 16-Port PoE Switch

Hikvision DS-3E0518P-E(B) 16-port PoE switch delivers high-performance Gigabit connectivity with true unmanaged simplicity for mid-to-large IP surveillance deployments. This layer 2 unmanaged switch features 16 Gigabit PoE ports and 2 Gigabit SFP uplink ports. It supplies a robust 230 W PoE budget and 6 kV surge protection on every port. Therefore, it ensures stable long-term operation even in challenging environments. Moreover, plug-and-play functionality allows instant deployment without any configuration.

Use Cases and Compatibility

Hikvision DS-3E0518P-E(B) 16-port PoE switch handles demanding surveillance projects effortlessly. Medium-sized offices use it to power and connect 16 high-resolution IP cameras across multiple floors, reception areas, conference rooms, warehouses, hallways, and parking lots. Retail chains deploy it for full-store coverage including sales floors, corridors, back offices, stockrooms, loading docks, and external perimeters.

Furthermore, schools and universities secure campuses reliably. They monitor classrooms, laboratories, libraries, administrative buildings, dormitories, sports facilities, and outdoor walkways. In addition, hotels and hospitality venues apply it to cover lobbies, restaurants, kitchens, guest corridors, swimming pools, and parking areas. Meanwhile, clinics, small hospitals, factories, and logistics centers benefit from its high port density and power capacity. Consequently, it supports growing organizations needing rock-solid PoE performance without management overhead.

The switch fully complies with IEEE 802.3af and IEEE 802.3at standards. Thus, it powers Hikvision IP cameras, PTZ domes, multi-sensor units, bullet cameras, wireless access points, IP intercoms, and other PoE devices. It delivers up to 30 W per port with a total budget of 230 W. As a result, multiple high-power cameras operate simultaneously without compromise. Moreover, 6 kV surge protection shields every port against lightning and power spikes. Therefore, reliability remains high in outdoor or electrically noisy locations. Furthermore, wire-speed forwarding and store-and-forward switching guarantee smooth, latency-free video streams. In addition, dual Gigabit SFP uplinks enable direct fiber connections to core networks or long-distance backbones.

This fully unmanaged switch requires zero configuration. Consequently, installation takes only minutes. Its sturdy metal housing and extended temperature range support 24/7 operation in professional environments.
