D-Link DES-F1016P-E 16-Port 10/100 Mbps Long Range 250m PoE+ Unmanaged Surveillance Switch

The D-Link DES-F1016P-E 16-Port Long Range PoE+ Surveillance Switch is a reliable networking solution designed specifically for IP surveillance systems, security cameras, wireless access points, and other PoE-enabled network devices. It combines Fast Ethernet connectivity with Power over Ethernet technology, allowing compatible devices to receive both network data and electrical power through a single Ethernet cable.

The switch features 16 × 10/100 Mbps Fast Ethernet PoE ports, allowing you to connect and power multiple IP cameras and other PoE devices from a central location. It also provides 2 Gigabit uplink ports, including a Combo RJ-45/SFP uplink, offering flexible high-speed connectivity to an NVR, router, core switch, or other network infrastructure.

The DES-F1016P-E supports both IEEE 802.3af and IEEE 802.3at PoE standards, making it compatible with a wide range of PoE and PoE+ devices. The switch provides a 150W total PoE power budget, allowing multiple connected devices to be powered without requiring individual power adapters. This makes it particularly useful for CCTV and security installations where cameras may be located away from convenient electrical outlets.

One of the most important features of the DES-F1016P-E is its Long Range PoE capability of up to 250 metres. This extended transmission distance allows compatible IP cameras and other PoE devices to be installed farther from the switch than the standard Ethernet distance, making the switch suitable for warehouses, compounds, parking areas, campuses, offices, retail premises, and larger surveillance deployments. D-Link notes that the 250m range depends on cabling quality and device compatibility.

The switch provides a 7.2 Gbps switching capacity, helping efficiently handle network traffic between connected devices. Its Gigabit uplink connectivity also provides additional bandwidth for connecting the surveillance network to an NVR, core network, or Internet gateway.

The unmanaged plug-and-play design makes installation simple and convenient. No complicated configuration or network management software is required. Simply connect the switch to the network, connect the PoE devices, and the switch is ready to operate. Auto MDI/MDIX automatically detects the appropriate connection type, eliminating the need for special crossover cables.

For reliable network communication, the DES-F1016P-E supports IEEE 802.3x Flow Control, helping protect against data loss during periods of heavy network traffic. The switch also uses automatic speed negotiation, allowing connected Ethernet devices to operate according to their supported network speeds.

The switch features a fanless design, providing quiet operation and making it suitable for security rooms, offices, network cabinets, and other environments where low operating noise is desirable. Its robust design and PoE capabilities make it well suited to centralized surveillance installations.

With 16 PoE ports, 150W PoE capacity, 2 Gigabit uplinks, 250m Long Range PoE, 7.2 Gbps switching capacity, and plug-and-play operation, the D-Link DES-F1016P-E is an effective solution for expanding professional IP surveillance and PoE network infrastructure.
