Product Description
DH-PFS4218-16ET-240 is a Layer 2 managed PoE switch built for camera runs, not office LANs.
It gives 16 × 100 Mbps RJ45 PoE ports for cameras plus 2 × Gigabit combo ports for uplink to an NVR or core switch, keeping camera traffic and network traffic on separate physical ports.
Key specs
- Total PoE budget: 240W, supporting IEEE802.3af (PoE), IEEE802.3at (PoE+) and Hi-PoE
- 16 × RJ45 10/100M PoE ports + 2 × Gigabit combo ports
- Dedicated "orange port" for Hi-PoE devices, pairable with the PFT1300 PoE extender
- 250-metre long-distance PoE transmission, well beyond standard 100m runs — useful where a camera sits far from the switch cabinet
- Layer 2 management with per-port power control and real-time consumption display (PoE Setting / Event Statistics / Green PoE)
- Search and firmware upgrade via ConfigTool, plus web-based management
- High lightning protection design
- Non-blocking video transmission across all ports
Why it matters on site
This is a purpose-built surveillance switch rather than a repurposed office switch. The 240W budget and Hi-PoE orange port let you mix standard PoE/PoE+ cameras with higher-draw Hi-PoE devices on one unit, and the 250m transmission spec covers longer cable runs common on larger sites without needing a mid-span extender in every case.
Desktop form factor, 16-port managed 2-layer PoE switch — DH-PFS4218-16ET-240.
