Hikvision 16 port rackmount gigabit switch

★★★★★ "Rack-mounted this in our comms cabinet - 16 cameras all running through one clean unit, easy to manage." - Kobus W., Pretoria

Hikvision DS-3E0516-E(B) - 16 Port Rackmount Gigabit Switch

The Hikvision DS-3E0516-E(B) is a 16-port Gigabit unmanaged switch in a 1U rackmount form factor. Designed for installations where clean, professional rack-mount wiring is required, it connects up to 15 devices at full Gigabit speed with a single uplink - ideal for medium-sized camera installations in comms cabinets and server rooms.

Why This Switch Stands Out

• 1U Rackmount Form Factor - Installs cleanly in standard 19-inch racks and comms cabinets for a professional, organised installation
• 16 Gigabit Ports - Supports up to 15 cameras or devices plus an uplink at full 1Gbps per port
• Plug-and-Play Reliability - Unmanaged design means zero configuration and no ongoing management overhead

Key Features

• 16x 10/100/1000Mbps RJ45 Gigabit ports
• 1U rackmount form factor, 19-inch rack compatible
• Unmanaged - plug-and-play, zero configuration
• Compatible with Hikvision IP cameras and NVR systems
• Suitable for medium surveillance installations and comms cabinets

Why You'll Love It

When your installation grows beyond 8 cameras and you need a clean rack solution, the DS-3E0516-E(B) is the right step up. Mount it in your comms cabinet alongside your NVR, patch panel, and UPS for a fully professional installation. All ports run at Gigabit - no bottlenecks, no configuration, just reliable connectivity for every camera on site.

FAQ

Does this switch support PoE? No - this is a standard non-PoE switch. For PoE-powered cameras, use the Hikvision DS-3E1318P-EI or similar PoE models.

What rack depth is required? Please refer to the product datasheet for exact dimensions. The DS-3E0516-E(B) is a standard 1U unit designed for 19-inch rack cabinets.

Can I use this switch for both camera traffic and office network traffic? Yes, though for larger installations we recommend separating camera and office traffic using a managed switch with VLAN support.
