The D-Link DES-F1016P-E (also known as DES-F1016P-E/B in some regions) is an unmanaged 16-port 10/100 Mbps Fast Ethernet switch optimized for surveillance and long-range PoE applications. It features 16 PoE+ ports with extended reach up to 250m, making it ideal for IP camera installations, wireless extensions, or remote PoE powering in Nairobi homes, offices, or larger compounds—perfect for CCTV systems, APs, or VoIP without extra power cables or configuration.

D-Link DES-F1016P-E 250m PoE+ Surveillance Switch with 16 PoE ports

Extend your surveillance network with the D-Link DES-F1016P-E: a 16-port 10/100 Mbps unmanaged PoE+ switch with all 16 ports supporting PoE (150W budget) and 250m long-reach on select ports. Plug-and-play with 1 Gigabit Combo (RJ45/SFP) uplink, 6kV lightning protection, flow control, and fanless design—ideal for IP cameras, remote APs, or small business setups in Nairobi, offering reliable long-distance PoE for cost-effective security and networking

• 8 Gigabit PoE+ Ports: 8 x 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ-45 ports supporting IEEE 802.3af/at PoE+ (up to 30W per port max) for powering devices like IP cameras or APs directly over Ethernet cables.
• 250m Long-Reach PoE: Ports 1-8 extend PoE power and data up to 250 meters (at 10 Mbps in Extend mode)—excellent for distant installations like outdoor CCTV or remote buildings.
• 2 Gigabit Uplink Ports: 2 x 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ-45 ports for connecting to routers, additional switches, or network backbone for flexible expansion.
• 120W Total PoE Budget: Ample power to run multiple PoE devices simultaneously (total across ports, with per-port limits applied).
• Plug-and-Play Installation: No configuration needed—auto MDI/MDIX on all ports, auto-negotiation for speed/duplex, and simple cable connections.
• 20 Gbps Switching Capacity: Non-blocking wire-speed performance with store-and-forward switching for smooth Gigabit data transfer and error reduction.
• Lightning Protection (6KV): Built-in surge protection against electrical spikes—helpful in Nairobi’s variable power and weather conditions.
• Flow Control & Reliability: IEEE 802.3x flow control prevents packet loss during congestion; supports stable VoIP, video, or data streams.
• Silent Fanless Design: No noisy fans—quiet operation suitable for home, office, or indoor installations.
• Durable Metal Housing: Sturdy build with good heat dissipation for reliable 24/7 use in warm climates.
• LED Indicators: Front-panel lights for power, link/activity, PoE status, and speed—easy monitoring and troubleshooting.
• Extend & Smart Modes: DIP switch for Extend mode (long-range) and other features like VLAN isolation or QoS prioritization for basic optimization.
• High Compatibility: Works with standard Cat5e/Cat6 cables and PoE devices from various brands (cameras, APs, phones).
• Great for Surveillance & SMB: Affordable, low-maintenance solution for IP camera systems, remote powering, or expanding networks where distance and power are key challenges.
