★★★★★ "The aggregation switch is the backbone of our campus network - 16 fiber uplinks running to remote switches across the site." - Dries V., Cape Town

Hikvision DS-3E1524-SI - 24 Port Aggregation Switch with 8x RJ45 and 16x SFP

The Hikvision DS-3E1524-SI is a 24-port smart managed aggregation switch combining 8 Gigabit RJ45 copper ports with 16 SFP fiber/copper uplink slots. Designed as a core or aggregation layer switch for large surveillance networks, it serves as the central hub connecting multiple edge switches via fiber across large estates, campuses, and commercial sites.

Why This Switch Stands Out

• 16 SFP Fiber Ports for Campus Backbones - Connect up to 16 edge switches via fiber for a campus-scale surveillance network backbone, covering distances that copper cannot reach
• Aggregation Layer Architecture - Purpose-built as the core switch in a hierarchical network - edge PoE switches connect to this unit via fiber, which then uplinks to the NVR infrastructure
• Smart Management for Large Networks - VLAN, QoS, RSTP, and advanced L2 features for professional network management at scale

Key Features

• 8x 10/100/1000Mbps RJ45 Gigabit ports
• 16x SFP slots for Gigabit fiber or copper transceivers
• Smart managed L2 features including VLAN and RSTP
• Suitable for core/aggregation role in multi-switch campus networks
• Compatible with Hikvision NVR systems and surveillance infrastructure

Why You'll Love It

Large South African estates and commercial campuses need a proper network hierarchy. The DS-3E1524-SI sits at the aggregation layer - all your edge PoE switches across the site connect via fiber to this unit, which then provides the clean, high-bandwidth uplink back to the NVR room. It gives large installations the structured, manageable network backbone that a serious surveillance deployment deserves.

FAQ

Does this switch support PoE on the RJ45 ports? No - the DS-3E1524-SI is a non-PoE switch designed for the aggregation layer. Edge switches with PoE connect to it via the SFP fiber ports.

What is the maximum fiber run distance for the SFP ports? This depends on the SFP transceivers fitted. Standard 1000BASE-SX (multimode) reaches 550m; 1000BASE-LX (singlemode) reaches 10km or more. Longer-distance SFPs are available for extended campus runs.

How many edge switches can connect to this aggregation switch? Up to 16 via SFP fiber connections plus 8 via copper RJ45 - a total of 24 downstream connections in a star topology.
