The D-Link DES-1018MPV2 Unmanaged Switch with 16 10/100Base-TX PoE Ports and 2 Combo 100/1000Base-T/SFP Ports enables users to easily connect and supply power to PoE-capable devices, such as wireless Access Points (APs), IP cameras, Network Attached Storage (NAS) and IP phones. Your network is at the center of any physical security system, responsible for securely streaming and saving surveillance footage. With robust security and low latency connections, the DES-1018MPV2 offers a cost-effective solution to maintain a secure, reliable and compliant surveillance network.

 

The switch has two DIP switches which allow to use two additional operating modes: Isolation and Extended.

Standard mode (both DIP switches are OFF): all ports can communicate with each other and work as a common Unmanaged Switch. 

Isolation mode: 1 to 16 port can’t communicate with each other, but each of them can communicate with port 17 and 18.

Extended mode: the data rate of 1 to 8 port is limited to 10 Mbps, whereas the maximum transmission distance of the port is increased to 250 meters.

 

The DES-1018MPV2 supports long-range PoE connection configurations, simplifying the issues of distance, power source, and cable deployment for your network systems. Extend connection distances with reduced power transmission loss. Utilize 250 m PoE cable connections at transmission speeds of 10 Mbps. Take advantage of D-Link’s GE PoE Extenders to power devices up to 650 m away, making the DES-1018MPV2 Switch the ideal choice for deploying PoE devices to your network, no matter your deployment’s location.

 

The DES-1018MPV2 features 16 IEEE 802.3af and IEE 802.3at PoE protocol compatible ports. Each of the PoE ports can supply up to 30 watts, with a total PoE budget of 247 watts, allowing users to attach an IEEE 802.3af or IEEE 802.3at-compliant device to the DES-1018MPV2 without requiring additional power. PoE is especially suitable for devices that are far from power outlets or when users want to minimize the clutter of extra cables as power is supplied via the Ethernet cables themselves.

 

The addition of two GbE/SFP combo uplink ports means businesses can increase their network bandwidth using the speed of Gigabit Ethernet while offering redundancy so that voice and surveillance data are transferred reliably. The combo design can increase bandwidth by offering Gigabit copper or fiber connections, giving administrators more options for expansion.
