Product SKU: RG-ES216GC-V2
Product Overview
The Ruijie Reyee RG-ES216GC-V2 is a 16-port Gigabit smart cloud-managed Layer 2 switch designed for CCTV, office, retail, hospitality, education and other indoor business networks requiring reliable wired connectivity with simplified remote administration. Sixteen 10/100/1000BASE-T RJ45 ports provide full Gigabit access for cameras with separate power, NVRs, routers, workstations, access points and other Ethernet devices. The switch delivers 32 Gbps switching capacity and approximately 23.8 Mpps forwarding performance, while smart functions including automatic loop prevention, port isolation and IP camera/NVR recognition help simplify surveillance-network operation. Ruijie Cloud adds zero-touch provisioning, remote statistics monitoring, VLAN configuration and ongoing management without requiring a larger enterprise switching platform.
Key Capabilities
16 × Gigabit Ethernet Ports
Sixteen 10/100/1000BASE-T RJ45 interfaces provide Gigabit wired connectivity for surveillance, office and general business-network devices.
32 Gbps Switching Capacity
A 32 Gbps switching fabric and approximately 23.8 Mpps forwarding rate provide the capacity required for simultaneous traffic across a fully populated sixteen-port Gigabit network.
Automatic Loop Prevention
Automatic loop protection is designed to help preserve network continuity when an accidental Ethernet loop occurs, reducing disruption caused by common cabling mistakes.
Cloud-Based VLAN Configuration
Supported VLAN configuration through the Ruijie Cloud ecosystem allows CCTV, office, guest and other network traffic to be logically separated while using the same physical switch.
IP Camera & NVR Recognition
CCTV-focused device recognition helps administrators identify compatible IP cameras and NVRs on the network and simplifies surveillance-network visibility.
Lifetime Ruijie Cloud Management
Ruijie Cloud supports remote switch monitoring, statistics, VLAN configuration, zero-touch provisioning and simplified maintenance across supported deployments.
Best For
- CCTV Networks: Sixteen Gigabit ports suit NVRs, cameras with separate PoE power sources and other surveillance infrastructure.
- Small & Medium Offices: Provides enough port density for workstations, printers, routers, access points and business devices.
- Retail & Multi-Site Businesses: Cloud management can simplify administration across distributed stores and commercial locations.
- Hotels & Hospitality: VLAN capability and port isolation can help separate different network services within supported designs.
- Network Retrofits: A practical upgrade from an unmanaged 16-port switch where cloud visibility and automatic loop protection are required.
Why Choose the RG-ES216GC-V2
The RG-ES216GC-V2 provides a useful balance between simple unmanaged switching and more complex enterprise networking. Its sixteen Gigabit ports offer substantially more capacity than smaller desktop switches, while automatic loop prevention, port isolation, CCTV device recognition and cloud-based VLAN configuration provide practical management features without unnecessary complexity. Ruijie Cloud also enables zero-touch deployment, remote statistics and simplified ongoing maintenance for distributed installations. Available through Security Wholesalers, the RG-ES216GC-V2 is particularly suitable for CCTV and business networks that need more port density and remote visibility but do not require PoE output or fibre uplink interfaces.
Buyer Decision Tips
Buyer Tip: The RG-ES216GC-V2 is a non-PoE switch. Cameras, wireless access points or other powered devices will need separate power, PoE injectors or a dedicated PoE switch if power over Ethernet is required.
Buyer Tip: All sixteen ports are copper Gigabit RJ45 interfaces. If the project requires fibre uplinks, long-distance optical links or SFP modules, select a Reyee switch that includes dedicated SFP interfaces.

Ideal Use Cases
CCTV Recorder Networks
Sixteen Gigabit ports provide connectivity for NVRs, workstations, routers and cameras that already receive power from separate PoE equipment.
Business Offices
The higher port count suits workstations, printers, wireless access points, routers and other business-network devices.
Retail & Multi-Site Networks
Ruijie Cloud management can simplify remote monitoring and maintenance across multiple shops or business locations.
Hospitality Networks
VLAN configuration and port isolation can help separate supported guest, office, surveillance and operational network traffic.
16-Port Network Upgrades
A practical replacement for basic unmanaged switches where automatic loop prevention and cloud visibility are now required.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose the RG-ES216GC-V2 if: You need sixteen Gigabit copper ports with cloud management, VLAN capability and automatic loop prevention but do not need PoE.
- Choose a PoE model if: Cameras, access points or other connected devices need to receive power directly from the switch.
- Choose an SFP-equipped model if: The network requires fibre uplinks or longer-distance optical links.
- Choose a larger switch if: Sixteen ports leave insufficient spare capacity for future expansion, additional uplinks or redundant connections.
FAQs
- What ports does the Ruijie Reyee RG-ES216GC-V2 provide?
The Ruijie Reyee RG-ES216GC-V2 provides sixteen 10/100/1000BASE-T Gigabit RJ45 ports. It is a non-PoE Layer 2 smart cloud-managed switch, so these ports provide network connectivity only and do not supply power to connected devices. This makes it suitable for NVRs, workstations, routers, access points with separate power, and other Gigabit Ethernet equipment. - What switching performance does the RG-ES216GC-V2 provide?
The RG-ES216GC-V2 has a switching capacity of 32 Gbps and a packet forwarding rate of approximately 23.8 Mpps. These specifications suit a sixteen-port Gigabit access switch used for CCTV, office, retail, hospitality and other small-to-medium business networks where multiple devices need to communicate at Gigabit Ethernet speeds. - Does the RG-ES216GC-V2 support VLAN configuration?
Yes. Ruijie positions the RG-ES216GC-V2 as a smart cloud-managed Layer 2 switch and supports VLAN configuration through the Ruijie Cloud ecosystem. VLANs can help separate CCTV, office, guest or other network traffic logically while devices remain connected to the same physical switch, simplifying network segmentation in supported deployments. - How does automatic loop prevention help on the RG-ES216GC-V2?
Automatic loop prevention is designed to help maintain service continuity when an Ethernet loop occurs. Accidental patching between switch ports can create a broadcast loop and disrupt network traffic. Ruijie includes automatic loop prevention on the RG-ES216GC-V2 to reduce the risk of a simple cabling mistake affecting the wider local network. - Can the RG-ES216GC-V2 be managed through Ruijie Cloud?
Yes. The RG-ES216GC-V2 supports lifetime management through Ruijie Cloud. Ruijie highlights zero-touch provisioning, remote switch-statistics monitoring, VLAN configuration and simplified maintenance through its cloud platform. For Security Wholesalers installations, this can reduce onsite administration across CCTV, office, retail, hospitality and other distributed business networks. - What operating conditions apply to the RG-ES216GC-V2?
Ruijie specifies an operating temperature range from 0°C to 50°C for the RG-ES216GC-V2. The switch uses a fanless design for quiet operation and is intended for indoor network environments. As a non-PoE model, it should be installed with separate power arrangements for any connected cameras, access points or other devices that require PoE.
