16-Port PoE Switch for Reliable Surveillance Networks
Setting up a cost-effective PoE network for security cameras or access points? This poe switch 16 port gives you exactly what you need without the extra complexity. It comes with 16 Fast Ethernet PoE ports (ports 1–16), two Gigabit copper uplink ports (ports 17–18), and one SFP slot (port 19) for fiber connectivity. That means you can connect up to 16 PoE cameras or wireless APs while keeping your backbone traffic flowing through the 1000Mbps uplinks. The total PoE budget is 200W, with each port delivering up to 25.4W – enough to power most PTZ cameras and high-power devices.
What really sets this switch apart for surveillance jobs is the DIP switch on the front panel. Flip it to Extend mode, and ports 1–16 drop to 10Mbps but can push signal up to 250 meters over standard Cat5e cable. At the same time, those ports are isolated from each other (VLAN-like behavior) so broadcast storms don’t mess with your camera feeds. They still talk to the uplink ports, so all video data reaches your NVR or server without collision issues. This feature alone saves you from buying extra extenders or media converters in large retail stores or warehouses.
Built with a metal case and internal power supply, this unmanaged switch runs cool even under full load – no fan noise, no extra maintenance. Plug-and-play design means IT staff can deploy it in minutes without any configuration. Whether you’re outfitting a hotel, a supermarket, a small office, or a family home, this 16 port poe switch is a stable, budget-friendly workhorse that keeps your devices powered and connected.
