Hikvision DS-3E0518P-E 16-Port Gigabit Unmanaged PoE Switch

The Hikvision DS-3E0518P-E is a 1U rack-mount unmanaged PoE switch with 16 gigabit PoE ports, a generous 230 W power budget, one gigabit RJ45 uplink and one gigabit SFP fibre uplink. Each access port runs at 10/100/1000 Mbps and delivers Power over Ethernet, so higher-resolution Hikvision cameras get full gigabit bandwidth and their power from one cable — and with 230 W to share, there is real headroom for PTZ domes and high-power IR models in the mix. For Egyptian compounds, factories, hotels and office floors running 16 cameras, it is a single 1U unit that powers the lot and carries the traffic over copper or fibre. Order the DS-3E0518P-E today from Speed4Trading with genuine Hikvision stock, official warranty and fast delivery across Egypt.

Why Buy the Hikvision DS-3E0518P-E?

The thing that forces an unnecessary upgrade on a sixteen-camera site is almost always the PoE budget, not the port count: add two PTZ cameras to a modest switch and suddenly ports start dropping out. With 230 W across sixteen gigabit ports this switch gives you roughly 14 W per camera on average, which means a mixed list of fixed, IR and PTZ cameras fits without arithmetic gymnastics. The dual uplink layout is the other practical advantage — one gigabit RJ45 for a nearby NVR, one SFP slot for fibre when the server room is past the 100-metre copper limit, which on Egyptian factory and compound sites it very often is.

Key Features & Benefits

• Large 230 W PoE budget across 16 ports leaves genuine headroom for PTZ and high-power IR cameras
• 16 gigabit PoE ports give every camera full 1000 Mbps bandwidth for 4MP, 6MP and 8MP models
• Up to 30 W on a single port under IEEE 802.3at for the most demanding cameras on the site
• One gigabit RJ45 uplink plus one gigabit SFP fibre uplink — use copper nearby or fibre to a distant rack
• 36 Gbps switching capacity and 26.784 Mpps forwarding rate cope with live view and playback together
• Powers and connects each camera on one cable, removing sixteen separate adaptors from the job
• Unmanaged and plug-and-play — nothing to configure, nothing to misconfigure on site
• Metal 1U chassis with internal 100–240 V AC supply, rack-mounts straight beside the NVR

Perfect For

Well matched to medium Egyptian installations with a demanding camera mix: a compound or gated community with PTZ cameras on the gates and fixed cameras along the perimeter; a factory or production hall; a warehouse or logistics yard; a hotel or serviced apartment building; a floor of an office or administrative building; a private hospital wing or clinic; a school or faculty building; or a large showroom. It also serves as a distribution switch feeding fibre back to a core switch across a multi-building site.

Easy Installation & Compatibility

Rack-mount the switch in a standard 19-inch cabinet using the supplied brackets and connect mains power directly — no external power brick or PoE injector is needed. Run Cat5e or Cat6 from each Hikvision PoE IP camera to ports 1–16, then take the gigabit RJ45 uplink to your NVR or core switch, or fit an SFP transceiver matched to your fibre type and run the uplink optically to a distant server room. The switch itself needs no setup; cameras and recorder are still managed as usual through Hik-Connect, iVMS-4200 or Hik-Partner Pro.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many cameras can the 230 W budget run?
All sixteen, with room to spare for most camera lists — that works out at roughly 14 W per camera across every port. Even with several 30 W PTZ cameras in the mix the budget usually holds, but send us your model list and we will confirm it.

What is the difference between this and the DS-3E0518P-E/M?
Both are 16-port gigabit unmanaged PoE switches. This model has one gigabit RJ45 uplink plus one gigabit SFP port and a 230 W PoE budget; the /M version has two gigabit SFP uplinks and a 125 W budget. Choose this one if you need more PoE power or a copper uplink.

Is the SFP module included?
No. SFP transceivers are supplied separately so they match your fibre type and distance. We stock compatible modules and can send one with the switch.

Does it support VLANs or cloud management?
No — it is an unmanaged switch with no web interface. For VLANs, QoS and remote management, look at the Hikvision smart managed range.
