D-Link 18 Ports 16FE PoE+1 Gigabit & 1 Compo Uplink Port 250m PoE Network Switch, DES-F1018P-E

The D-Link DES-F1018P-E is a cost-effective and reliable unmanaged PoE switch designed for surveillance systems, small businesses, and network expansion projects. It includes 16 × 10/100 Mbps PoE-enabled Fast Ethernet ports, along with 1 Gigabit Ethernet uplink port and 1 combo uplink (RJ45/SFP) port for flexible backbone connectivity.

Supporting IEEE 802.3af/802.3at PoE standards, the switch delivers both data and power over a single Ethernet cable, with up to 30W per PoE port and a total power budget of 150W. This makes it ideal for powering multiple IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones without requiring separate power adapters, reducing installation complexity and cost.

A key feature of the DES-F1018P-E is its long-reach PoE capability, supporting data and power transmission up to 250 meters on selected ports using Extend mode. This is especially useful for CCTV installations in large buildings, campuses, warehouses, and outdoor environments where devices are located far from the switch.

The switch also includes hardware DIP switch-based smart functions such as VLAN isolation, QoS prioritization, Extend mode, and PoE auto-recovery. These features help improve network security, prioritize video traffic, extend transmission distance, and automatically restart unresponsive PoE devices for improved reliability.
