HIKVISION DS-3E0518P-E/M 16-port Gigabit Unmanaged PoE Switch

The DS-3E0518P-E/M is a 16-port Gigabit Unmanaged PoE Switch manufactured by Hikvision. Here’s a detailed description of its components and applications:

Components:

• 16 Gigabit PoE Ports: These ports can connect devices like IP phones, security cameras, and access points at Gigabit speeds (1000 Mbps).
• PoE (Power over Ethernet) Functionality: The switch can deliver power to compatible devices through the same Ethernet cable used for data transmission. This eliminates the need for separate power adapters for these devices.
• IEEE 802.3af/at Standards: The switch supports both PoE standards, providing up to 15.4 watts (af) or 30 watts (at) of power per port.
• 2 Gigabit SFP Fiber Optic Ports: These ports allow for long-distance connections using fiber optic cables.
• 32 Gbps Switching Capacity: This ensures smooth data flow across all ports without bottlenecks.
• 23.8 Mpps Forwarding Rate: This indicates the switch’s ability to process and forward data packets efficiently.
• 8K MAC Address Table: The switch can learn and store the MAC addresses of up to 8,000 devices.
• 4.1 Mbit Packet Buffer: This buffer holds data packets temporarily before forwarding them, reducing the risk of data loss during peak traffic periods.
• Metal Construction: Provides durability for harsh environments.
• Fanless Design: Enables silent operation.

Application Areas:

• Powering IP Cameras: Ideal for powering security camera systems where running separate power cables might be impractical.
• VoIP Phone Systems: Can deliver both data and power to Voice over IP (VoIP) phones, simplifying network setup.
• Wireless Access Points: Powering wireless access points eliminates the need for nearby power outlets.
• Small Business Networks: A cost-effective solution for expanding a network and powering PoE devices in small offices or retail stores.
