Data Comm & Networking switches
This range covers unmanaged Ethernet switches for CCTV and general network drops, spanning Fast Ethernet (10/100Mbps) and Gigabit (1000Mbps) throughput, in 4, 5, 8, 16 and 24-port formats. Both standard unmanaged switches and PoE switches are stocked, plus an AV adapter (RCA phono plug) for auxiliary audio runs.
PoE models run from 4-port to 24-port Hikvision unmanaged switches in both Fast Ethernet (100Mbps) and Gigabit versions, including a 9-port long-range unit for cameras mounted further from the recorder. Non-PoE switches pass data only, for camera or NVR aggregation where power is supplied separately.
How to choose
- Port count — match to camera/device count plus spare capacity; 4, 5, 8, 16 or 24-port options are available.
- PoE or non-PoE — pick PoE where cameras need power over the data cable; non-PoE where devices are separately powered.
- Speed — Gigabit (1000Mbps) suits higher-bitrate camera streams; Fast Ethernet (10/100Mbps) suits lighter loads.
- Uplink & extend — check for dedicated Gigabit uplink ports and PoE extend modes on longer runs.
- Mounting — for cabinet installs, choose a rackmount switch.
Data Comm & Networking — frequently asked questions
What's the difference between a PoE and a non-PoE switch here?
PoE switches, such as the 16-port and 24-port Gigabit PoE models, deliver power and data over the same cable to connected cameras; non-PoE switches only pass data, so devices need a separate power source.
What does PoE extend mode do?
On the 4-port PoE switch, extend mode is designed to support longer cable runs, up to around 250m, generally at reduced link speed; actual reach can vary with cable and environment.
