The 120W PoE budget supports multiple compatible IP cameras, access points, intercoms and other PoE-powered devices.
2 Gigabit Uplink Ports
Two Gigabit uplink ports provide faster uplink connectivity to routers, NVRs, core switches or other network equipment.
Unmanaged Plug-and-Play Operation
The unmanaged design allows simple deployment without advanced switch configuration, making it practical for quick CCTV and small network installations.
Best For
- CCTV Camera Systems: Suitable for powering and connecting multiple compatible IP cameras from one central switch.
- Retail and Office Security: Practical for shops, offices, storerooms, counters, warehouses and compact business sites needing PoE device connectivity.
- PoE Access Point Deployments: Useful for powering compatible wireless access points where multiple PoE ports are required.
- Intercom and Security Devices: A good option for compatible door stations, intercoms, phones and powered network devices.
- Simple Larger PoE Deployments: Best where unmanaged PoE switching is preferred without VLAN setup or advanced configuration.
Why Choose the RG-ES118FGS-LP
The RG-ES118FGS-LP is a practical choice when a CCTV or small business network needs more PoE ports than a compact 8-port switch can provide, while still keeping installation simple. Its 16 PoE+ ports and 120W PoE budget make it suitable for powering multiple compatible cameras, access points and security devices, while the 2 Gigabit uplink ports help support stronger connections back to the router, NVR or main network. The unmanaged design keeps setup straightforward for standard deployments. For systems supplied through Security Wholesalers, this switch should be selected after confirming device count, PoE wattage, cable length, uplink requirements, camera bandwidth and whether unmanaged switching is suitable for the site.
Buyer Decision Tips

Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: You need a Ruijie Reyee 18-port unmanaged PoE switch with 16 PoE+ ports, 2 Gigabit uplink ports and a 120W PoE budget.
- Choose a different switch if: The site needs full Gigabit PoE ports for every connected device, managed switching, VLANs, fibre uplinks, a higher PoE budget, rackmount installation, 10GE uplinks or advanced administration.
- Check before ordering: Confirm camera count, device wattage, total PoE budget, cable distance, uplink speed, NVR or router connection, power location, installation area and whether unmanaged PoE switching suits the network design.
FAQs
- What is the Ruijie Reyee RG-ES118FGS-LP used for?
The RG-ES118FGS-LP is used as an unmanaged PoE switch for CCTV, retail, office, warehouse and powered network device installations. It is suitable for connecting compatible IP cameras, wireless access points, intercoms, phones and other PoE-powered devices. - How many PoE ports does this switch have?
This model provides 16 PoE+ ports for compatible powered devices. Before installation, confirm the total number of cameras or PoE devices required and whether the available ports are enough. - What is the PoE budget?
The RG-ES118FGS-LP has a 120W PoE budget. The total power draw of connected PoE devices should be calculated to ensure the switch can support the full installation. - What are the 2 Gigabit uplink ports used for?
The Gigabit uplink ports are used to connect the switch back to an NVR, router, main switch or network backbone. They help provide higher-speed uplink connectivity for the connected PoE devices. - Does this switch need configuration?
No. The switch is unmanaged and designed for plug-and-play operation, making it suitable for simple deployments where advanced VLAN or management features are not required. - Can this switch power IP cameras?
Yes, it can power compatible PoE cameras through its PoE+ ports, provided the total camera power draw remains within the 120W PoE budget. For systems supplied through Security Wholesalers, camera wattage and uplink requirements should be checked before installation. - When should I choose a managed switch instead?
Choose a managed switch when the network requires VLANs, traffic control, remote switch configuration, advanced security settings, link aggregation, detailed monitoring or more complex multi-network segmentation. - What should be checked before installation?
Before installation, confirm device count, individual PoE wattage, total PoE budget, cable distance, cable quality, uplink requirements, power outlet availability, camera bandwidth, NVR or router connection and whether unmanaged switching is suitable for the network.
