DS-3E1518P-EI - 16 Port Gigabit Smart POE Switch

The Hikvision DS-3E1518P-EI is an enterprise-grade, 16-port Gigabit Smart managed PoE (Power over Ethernet) network switch engineered for high-bandwidth data transmission, comprehensive security, and intelligent power management in large-scale IP surveillance infrastructure. Built inside a rugged metal chassis equipped with 6KV surge protection, this switch features sixteen dedicated Gigabit PoE ports, one standard Gigabit RJ45 uplink port, and one Gigabit fiber optical uplink port for long-distance network backhaul, all backed by a massive 230-watt total PoE power budget. The device integrates advanced Layer 2 management and defensive utilities, including IEEE 802.1Q VLAN tagging for secure traffic segmentation, DHCP snooping to block unauthorized rogue routers, and STP/RSTP loop prevention to eliminate catastrophic network loops. Furthermore, it incorporates intelligent power-saving technologies compliant with the IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) standard, allowing users to configure custom energy plans that drop power consumption automatically during periods of low data activity.
