Hikvision DS-3E1518P-SI Smart Managed 16P Gigabit PoE Switch Features in Kenya

16 Gigabit PoE Ports

The switch provides sixteen 10/100/1000Mbps PoE ports that deliver both data and power over a single Ethernet cable, simplifying deployment of IP cameras, wireless access points, VoIP phones and other PoE-enabled devices.

225W PoE Power Budget

With a total PoE budget of 225W and up to 30W available per port, the switch can reliably support multiple powered devices while maintaining stable power distribution across the network.

Dual Gigabit SFP Fibre Uplinks

Two Gigabit SFP fibre uplink ports provide high-speed backbone connectivity for linking the switch to core switches, servers and fibre network infrastructure.

Long-Range PoE Transmission

Ports 1 to 16 support long-range PoE transmission of up to 300 metres, making the switch suitable for large surveillance systems, warehouses, schools and commercial buildings.

PoE Watchdog

The built-in PoE Watchdog automatically detects and restarts unresponsive IP cameras, helping reduce downtime and simplify maintenance in surveillance networks.

Advanced VLAN Management

Support for IEEE 802.1Q VLANs with configurable VLAN IDs from 1 to 4094 allows administrators to segment traffic for improved network security, efficiency and organization.

Quality of Service

QoS functionality supports port-based priority together with SP and WRR scheduling, enabling critical applications such as video surveillance and VoIP to receive prioritized bandwidth.

Static Link Aggregation

The switch supports up to eight static link aggregation groups, allowing multiple physical links to be combined for higher bandwidth, redundancy and improved network resilience.

Port Isolation

Port isolation helps improve network security by preventing selected PoE ports from communicating directly with each other while still allowing access to designated uplink ports.

Loop Prevention

Support for IEEE 802.1D STP helps prevent switching loops that can disrupt network communication and reduce overall system reliability.

Storm Control and Rate Limiting

Storm control and configurable port rate limiting help prevent excessive broadcast, multicast and unknown unicast traffic from degrading network performance.

Hik-Partner Pro Remote Management

Hik-Partner Pro supports one-click activation, port monitoring, bandwidth utilization, topology viewing, alarm status, remote restarts and firmware upgrades for simplified remote administration.

6kV Surge Protection

Integrated 6kV surge protection on PoE ports helps protect the switch and connected devices against electrical surges and lightning-related disturbances.

Rack-Mount Metal Design

The durable metal enclosure and rack-mount form factor provide reliable heat dissipation and support continuous 24/7 operation in professional network environments.
