Hikvision DS-3E0318P-E 16-ports 100Mbps unmanaged PoE+ switch(Comes with rackmounts)

DS-3E0318P-E — 16-Port PoE Switch, 225 W, Rack Mount

The DS-3E0318P-E is a 16-port PoE switch in a full 1U rack chassis, with a 225 W budget and two Gigabit combo uplinks. It runs from mains directly, so there is no external power brick to find space for.

The 225 W PoE budget is the number that decides how many cameras it will carry. In practice that is all 16 ports filled with typical fixed cameras — fewer if you are running heaters, illuminators or PTZs, so add up the real figures from each camera's datasheet rather than dividing the budget by an average.

Technical specification

Specification taken from Hikvision's published data for this model. Appearance and parameters may vary; ask us if a particular figure matters for your project.

What you'll need

• Cat5e or Cat6 cable rated for the run length — the 300 m long-range mode drops the link to 10 Mbps, so use it for a single distant camera, not a busy one
• A mains socket or rack outlet within reach of the IEC inlet
• Compare the rest of the range in PoE switches and network switches
• Cameras to fill it: IP cameras, or a recorder from CCTV recorders

Frequently asked questions

How many cameras will it power?

The budget is 225 W across 16 PoE ports, which is all 16 ports filled with typical fixed cameras. A fixed 2MP or 4MP camera with IR typically draws 6–12 W. PTZs, heaters and white-light illuminators draw far more, so check each camera's own figure before you rely on a count.

Does it need configuring?

No. It is unmanaged — connect it and it works. There is no web interface, no IP address to set and no VLAN support. If you need managed features, look at the smart managed models in PoE switches.

What does the 300 m long-range mode actually do?

Ports 9 to 16: up to 300 m. It extends reach well beyond the normal 100 m Ethernet limit by dropping that port to 10 Mbps. That is fine for one fixed camera at the end of a long run; it is not enough for several cameras or for high-bitrate playback through that port.

Can I mount it in a rack?

Hikvision lists the installation method for this model as rack (equipped with mounting ears). Mounting ears are included.
