Network switch PULSAR S116 16-port for IP cameras model 24602

PULSAR S116 16-port switch (model 24602) is a compact Ethernet switch intended for CCTV and IP video surveillance networks. It provides sixteen RJ45 Ethernet ports to connect IP cameras and other networked devices, allowing centralised aggregation of video streams and simplifying network topology for small to medium surveillance installations. The device is designed for straightforward integration into existing networks and helps organise cabling and connections for reliable camera operation.

Advantages

The PULSAR S116 offers a high port count in a compact form factor, enabling multiple cameras to be connected without additional patching hardware. Its simple unmanaged operation requires no configuration, reducing installation time. The metal housing and standard power supply support stable, continuous operation in monitoring setups. With standard Ethernet connectivity it is compatible with a wide range of IP cameras and network equipment, ensuring predictable performance for video transmission and remote monitoring.

Suitable for

• Small to medium IP camera installations in retail, offices or residential buildings
• CCTV system expansions where additional Ethernet ports are required
• Local networks that aggregate camera video to NVRs or recording servers
• Temporary or permanent monitoring points needing centralised cabling

Key specifications

• Number of Ethernet ports: 16
• Port interface: 10/100 Mbps RJ45 Ethernet
• Device type: unmanaged network switch for Ethernet/IP devices
• Intended application: IP camera and CCTV network aggregation
• Form factor: compact desktop or rack-adjacent mounting
• Power: standard external or internal power supply support for continuous operation

How to use

Install the PULSAR S116 on a stable surface near the cameras or within a network cabinet and connect its power supply to a reliable mains outlet. Use standard Ethernet cables to connect each IP camera and other network devices to the switch ports. Link the switch uplink port to an NVR, recording server or router to provide access to aggregated video streams. The unmanaged design means the switch operates immediately after powering up without configuration; verify link LEDs to confirm connections and camera status.

Usage recommendations

Position the switch in a ventilated, dry environment and use quality shielded Ethernet cables where cable runs are long or exposed to electrical interference. For installations with PoE cameras, confirm power requirements and use a dedicated PoE-capable switch or midspan injectors as this model is intended for data aggregation rather than PoE delivery. Periodically check connections and link indicators to ensure continuous video flow to recording devices.
