Description

The Hikvision DS-3E1512HP-SI-8P2T2F combines Gigabit networking with smart PoE management in a durable metal housing. It is designed for installations where multiple powered network devices need to be connected through a single switch while maintaining reliable data transmission.

Ports 1 to 4 support up to 90 W per port using 802.3bt Hi-PoE, while ports 5 to 8 provide up to 30 W per port. With a total PoE power budget of 130 W, the switch can support a range of devices including high-power IP cameras and other PoE equipment.

The switch also supports VLAN, loop prevention, storm control and network management functions. Cable detection can help identify connection faults, while 6 kV surge protection adds an extra level of protection for connected network equipment.

Features

Gigabit PoE Connectivity
The switch provides a practical combination of copper and fiber connectivity for surveillance and network installations:

• 8 x 10/100/1000 Mbps PoE ports
• 2 x 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ45 ports
• 2 x 10/100/1000 Mbps SFP fiber optical ports
• 130 W total PoE power budget
• Ports 1 to 4 support up to 90 W maximum port power
• Ports 5 to 8 support up to 30 W maximum port power
• PoE transmission distance of up to 300 m on ports 1 to 8

Smart Network Management
Designed for managed network environments, the Hikvision switch includes several functions that help improve network organisation and reliability. 802.1Q VLAN support allows network traffic to be separated into logical groups, while STP and RSTP help prevent network loops.

Additional network functions include:

• 802.1Q VLAN support
• STP and RSTP loop prevention
• Storm control
• SNMP support
• QoS support
• DHCP snooping
• Cable detection for locating connection faults

High Power PoE for IP Devices
With 802.3bt Hi-PoE support and up to 90 W available on an individual port, the DS-3E1512HP-SI-8P2T2F is suited to applications requiring more power than standard PoE switches can provide. The 130 W overall PoE budget provides flexibility when connecting several powered devices across the network.

The combination of Gigabit PoE ports and SFP fiber ports also makes this switch suitable for larger IP surveillance systems where copper connections are used for cameras and fiber links are required for network uplinks.

Reliable Construction and Protection
The metal material shell provides a robust enclosure for commercial and professional network installations. Built-in 6 kV surge protection helps protect the switch and connected devices against electrical surges, making it suitable for demanding network and CCTV environments.
