Network switch Hikvision DS-3E1528-SI-24T4F — 24-port switch with SFP uplinks

Hikvision DS-3E1528-SI-24T4F is a 24-port network switch for wired LAN deployments that combines multiple Ethernet access ports with SFP uplinks for fiber or long-distance connections. The device is designed to serve small and medium business networks, IP surveillance systems and office environments where many wired endpoints require reliable connectivity and flexible uplink options.

Advantages

The switch offers 24 Ethernet ports to connect a variety of devices and dedicated SFP uplink ports for integrating fiber links or longer copper runs. Its design focuses on straightforward deployment, stable wired throughput and interoperability with common network equipment. The product supports basic switching functions and port density suitable for aggregation or access layer roles in small to medium networks.

Suitable for

• Small and medium business LAN access and distribution
• IP surveillance camera networks requiring multiple PoE or non‑PoE wired endpoints (check power model if PoE required)
• Office workgroups and desktop device connectivity
• Network edge aggregation with fiber uplink to core switches

Key specifications

• 24 x 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet ports for wired device connections
• Multiple SFP uplink ports for fiber or extended-distance links
• Desktop or rack-mountable form factor suitable for cabinet or shelf installation
• Layer 2 switching functionality including MAC learning and VLAN support (basic switching features)
• Fanless or low-noise operation suitable for office and surveillance environments (model dependent)

How to use

Install the switch on a stable surface or in a rack using appropriate mounting accessories. Connect end devices to the RJ45 ports with standard Ethernet cables and use SFP modules in the uplink slots to connect to fiber runs or to extend the link distance to aggregation equipment. Configure VLANs and basic port settings from connected management tools if required by your network design; the unit supports standard Layer 2 operations and will forward traffic between connected ports once physical connections are established.

Usage recommendations

Place the switch in a ventilated area with ambient temperatures within the manufacturer’s operating range, avoid exposure to moisture and dust, and use quality SFP modules that match the fiber type and distance requirements. For surveillance installations, confirm whether a PoE-capable model is required to power cameras; if so, select the matching power variant. Regularly update connected equipment firmware and monitor link status to maintain reliable network operation.
