About the 18-Port Gigabit PoE Network Switch with 2 SFP
Sixteen PoE ports changes the shape of an installation: one box in the rack instead of two switches cascaded together, and one place to look when a camera stops responding. All sixteen are gigabit, joined by two RJ45 uplinks and two SFP fibre slots, with 56 Gbps switching capacity and a 29.76 Mpps forwarding rate. The 250 W PoE budget is generous but finite against a 30 W per-port maximum, so the sum of what your cameras draw is the figure that decides how many the switch will carry. Mounting is rack, wall or desk, with 4 KV lightning protection and a one-button reset.
Key benefits
- Sixteen gigabit PoE ports remove the need to cascade two smaller switches
- 250 W total PoE budget supports a substantial camera count at 30 W maximum each
- 56 Gbps switching capacity and 29.76 Mpps forwarding handle heavy 8MP traffic
- 8K MAC address table and 4 MB buffer suit a large mixed network
- Two SFP slots take fibre modules reaching up to 120 km depending on module
- One-button factory reset saves a site visit turning into a rebuild
Where it works well
- Sixteen-camera plaza installation running from a single rack switch
- Factory floor and yard cameras in Sundar Industrial Estate
- Large housing society perimeter with many boundary cameras
- Hospital block in Johar Town consolidating camera cabling centrally
- Warehouse complex where two smaller switches would otherwise be cascaded

Frequently asked questions
Can I actually power sixteen cameras from this switch?
It depends on what they draw. The total budget is 250 W with a 30 W ceiling per port, so sixteen cameras averaging under about fifteen watts each fit comfortably while a set of high-draw pan-tilt or heated units will not. Work from each camera's own datasheet rather than the port maximum. Send us the model numbers on WhatsApp and we will confirm the total.
Is one sixteen-port switch better than two eight-port switches?
Usually yes, on a single site. One unit means one power feed, one point of failure to diagnose and no uplink shared between cascaded switches. Two smaller switches still make sense when the cameras split naturally between distant parts of a property, since it shortens the cable runs.
Does it need a rack?
No. Desktop, wall-mount and 19-inch 1U rack installation are all supported, so a wall-mounted enclosure works if you have no rack. Whichever you choose, leave space for airflow, particularly with a heavy PoE load in summer. IP30 protection means it must stay indoors or in a sealed enclosure.
What do the SFP ports need?
Fibre modules purchased separately, matched to the fibre already installed — single-mode or multi-mode, with distance up to 120 km determined by the module. If both your buildings already have fibre pulled, this switch can terminate it directly. Share the fibre details and we will specify the modules alongside the switch quote.
