Hikvision DS-3E1516-EI V3 16-Port Smart Managed Gigabit Switch
This high-performance Layer 2 network switch features 16 non-PoE Gigabit RJ45 ports designed for high-speed local data backups and hardware networking. Each port supports auto MDI/MDI-X negotiation and full-duplex traffic, maximizing network throughput for local clients, storage devices, and PC workstations.
Featuring a solid, high-strength metal shell with a fanless design, the switch operates silently and reliably. It provides 6kV surge protection on all ports to shield the internal processor from voltage spikes. Housed in a compact desktop chassis, it can also be wall-mounted or installed on standard rack shelves.
High-Speed Gigabit Networking
Equipped with 16 dedicated Gigabit ports to handle heavy data traffic. Supports up to 32 Gbps switching capacity and 23.808 Mpps packet forwarding, ensuring smooth local backups and real-time database access across the network.
Unified Cloud & Visualized Topology Management
