The D-Link DSS-100E-18P 18-Port Po E Unmanaged Surveillance Switch with 16 IEEE 802.3at compatible ports, the DSS-100E-18P enables users to easily connect & supply power to Po E-capable devices, such as wireless Access Points (APs), IP cameras, Network Attached Storage (NAS) & IP phones. Your network is at the center of any physical security system, responsible for securely streaming & saving surveillance footage. With robust security, ample network bandwidth & low latency connections, the DSS-100E-18P offers a cost-effective solution to maintain a secure, reliable & compliant surveillance network. Surveillance-minded DIP switch Effortlessly adjust the DSS-100E-18P operation configuration with a tri-mode DIP switch, conveniently located on the device front panel. D-Link DSS-100E-18P 18-Port Po E Unmanaged Surveillance Switch has three operating modes; Standard, Isolation & Extended modes, each with their own use cases. Standard mode optimally is for connections up to 100 m, supporting 10/100 Mbps per port with priority to ports 1-8 to optimize port cache. Isolation mode prevents port to port communications, permitting ports 1-16 to communicate solely through ports 17-18, where strengthened security measures are implemented. Extended mode utilizes long-reach Po E connections, where ports 9-16 support 250 m connections while ports 1-8 support standard 100 m connections. Long-reach Po E connection The DSS-100E-18P supports long-range Po E connection configurations, simplifying the issues of distance, power source, and cable deployment for your network systems. Extend connection distances with reduced power transmission loss. Utilize 250 m Po E cable connections at transmission speeds of 10 Mbps. Take advantage of D-Link GE Po E Extenders to power devices up to 650 m away, making the DSS-100E-18P 18-Port Po E Unmanaged Surveillance Switch the ideal choice for deploying Po E devices to your network, no matter your deployment location. Resilient 6k V surge protection The DSS-100E-18P is equipped with 6k V surge protection, keeping this switch safe against lightning strikes or other power related incidents. This shield prevents Po E devices from electrical damage, ensuring your vital surveillance systems continue functioning, completely uninterrupted. In the event of an electrical emergency, the DSS-100E-18P will safeguard your cameras, storage devices while keeping your network running, providing reliability & robustness when it counts the most. Power Over Ethernet IEEE 802.3af/at The DSS-100E-18P features 16 IEEE 802.3af & IEE 802.3at Po E protocol compatible ports. Each of the Po E ports can supply up to 30 watts, with a total Po E budget of 230 watts, allowing users to attach an IEEE 802.3af or IEEE 802.3at-compliant device to the DSS-100E-18P without requiring additional power. Po E is especially suitable for devices that are far from power outlets or when users want to minimize the clutter of extra cables as power is supplied via the Ethernet cables themselves. Expand your network The addition of one Gigabit Ethernet port & one Gb E/SFP combo uplink port means businesses can increase their network bandwidth using the speed of Gigabit Ethernet while offering redundancy so that voice & surveillance data are transferred reliably. The combo design can increase bandwidth by offering Gigabit copper or fiber connections, giving administrators more options for expansion.
