D-Link DES-F1016P-E 250m PoE+ Surveillance Switch with 16 PoE ports

D-Link DES-F1016P-E 250m PoE+ Surveillance Switch with 16 PoE ports

Deploy comprehensive surveillance and security networks with unprecedented reach using the D-Link DES-F1016P-E, a purpose-built 18-port PoE+ switch engineered specifically for large-scale IP camera installations and security systems. With its revolutionary 250-meter PoE transmission capability and 16 dedicated PoE+ ports, this switch eliminates traditional distance barriers while providing the power and connectivity infrastructure needed for professional surveillance deployments.

Revolutionary 250-Meter Extended Range

Transform how you approach security system design with the DES-F1016P-E’s game-changing 250-meter PoE transmission distance—an extraordinary 150% extension beyond standard networking limitations. This breakthrough capability allows you to position IP cameras, access control panels, and security devices exactly where they’re needed most, without the expense and complexity of installing intermediate switches, power injectors, or additional electrical infrastructure.

Cover expansive parking lots, secure building perimeters, monitor distant warehouse sections, protect sprawling campuses, and deploy cameras in remote outdoor locations—all from a single switch. The extended range dramatically reduces equipment costs, simplifies installation, and provides unmatched flexibility for surveillance system architects and security professionals.

Comprehensive 16-Port PoE+ Coverage

With an impressive 16 IEEE 802.3at/af compliant PoE+ ports, the DES-F1016P-E delivers up to 30W per port to support the most demanding surveillance equipment. Power high-resolution 4K cameras, PTZ (pan-tilt-zoom) cameras with heaters and fans, multi-sensor panoramic cameras, illuminated license plate readers, outdoor cameras with infrared capabilities, and other power-hungry security devices—even at maximum distances.

The generous 250W total PoE power budget ensures you can operate a complete surveillance system simultaneously, with enough capacity headroom for future expansion. This substantial power allocation makes the DES-F1016P-E ideal for installations requiring multiple high-power cameras operating continuously in challenging environmental conditions.

Dedicated Uplink Architecture

Two dedicated Gigabit Ethernet uplink ports provide high-speed backbone connectivity to your NVR (Network Video Recorder), video management system, or core network infrastructure without consuming valuable PoE port resources. This intelligent design ensures all 16 PoE ports remain available exclusively for surveillance devices while maintaining robust, high-bandwidth connections to your recording and monitoring equipment.

Intelligent Watchdog Technology

Built specifically for 24/7 surveillance applications, the DES-F1016P-E features advanced watchdog technology that automatically monitors connected PoE devices. If a camera or device becomes unresponsive, the switch automatically power-cycles the affected port to restore connectivity—eliminating the need for manual intervention and ensuring your surveillance system maintains continuous operation even when individual cameras experience temporary issues.

Extend Mode for Maximum Distance

Activate Extend Mode on specific ports to prioritize distance over speed, enabling reliable connectivity at the full 250-meter range. This flexibility allows you to optimize each port’s performance based on your specific installation requirements—using standard Gigabit speeds for nearby devices while leveraging extended range for distant cameras without compromising system reliability.

Priority PoE Power Management

Designate critical surveillance cameras as high-priority devices to ensure they always receive power, even if total power consumption approaches the switch’s maximum capacity. This intelligent power allocation guarantees that essential security coverage points remain operational at all times, providing peace of mind for mission-critical surveillance installations.

Surveillance-Optimized Features

The DES-F1016P-E includes specialized features tailored for security applications. VLAN support enables traffic segmentation to isolate surveillance data from general network traffic, improving both performance and security. Quality of Service (QoS) ensures video streams receive priority treatment, preventing packet loss and maintaining smooth, uninterrupted footage even during periods of high network activity.

True Plug-and-Play Operation

Despite its advanced capabilities, the DES-F1016P-E requires zero configuration. Connect your cameras, NVR, and uplinks—the switch automatically handles PoE negotiation, power allocation, and traffic management. Front-panel LED indicators provide instant visual confirmation of power delivery, link status, and port activity, enabling quick system health checks and simplified troubleshooting.

Industrial-Grade Reliability

The robust metal chassis provides superior durability and efficient heat dissipation for reliable 24/7/365 operation in demanding surveillance environments. Despite its high power capacity, the fanless design ensures completely silent operation—ideal for installations in offices, retail locations, banks, schools, healthcare facilities, and other noise-sensitive environments where surveillance equipment must operate unobtrusively.

Energy-Efficient Design

IEEE 802.3az Energy-Efficient Ethernet technology intelligently adjusts power consumption based on port activity and cable length, reducing operational costs without compromising surveillance system performance. The switch automatically optimizes power delivery for each connected device, minimizing energy waste while ensuring cameras receive exactly the power they need.
