The Hikvision NS-0318P-130(B) is an unmanaged Power over Ethernet (PoE) switch boasting 16 × 100 Mbps PoE ports, backed by gigabit uplink options via 1 × 1000 Mbps RJ45 port and 1 × 1000 Mbps SFP fiber-optic port. The unit supports both IEEE 802.3af and 802.3at PoE standards, offering flexibility for a wide range of network devices.
Long-Distance Capability & Power Management
Ports 9 through 16 feature an “Extend Mode” that expands transmission distance to up to 250 metres—ideal for powering and networking devices situated far from the core infrastructure. Ports 1–8 are designated as “High Priority” for optimized performance.
With a maximum of 30 W per PoE port and a total PoE power budget of 130 W (150 W maximum power consumption), the switch offers substantial power headroom with efficient management and surge protection up to 6 kV on all PoE ports, ensuring dependable operation in varied environments.
Performance & Switching Capacity
Operating on IEEE 802.3, 802.3u, and 802.3x standards, the NS-0318P-130(B) supports adaptive full-duplex communication and store-and-forward switching. Its performance includes a switching capacity of 7.2 Gbps, packet forwarding rate of 5.356 Mpps, and a 4K MAC address table with a 2.75 Mbit internal cache.
Build & Environmental Specs
Encased in a durable metal chassis, the switch measures 266 mm × 44.5 mm × 220.8 mm and weighs approximately 1.8 kg (net) or 2.58 kg (gross). It supports wide operating temperatures from –10 °C to 55 °C (humidity 5%–95%, non-condensing) and requires 100–240 VAC power (max 2.5 A). Idle power draw is around 20 W.
