Switch PULSAR SF116WP 18-port Fast Ethernet with 16x PoE

PULSAR SF116WP 18-port Fast Ethernet switch provides network connectivity and integrated power delivery across 16 Power over Ethernet (PoE) ports. The device combines 16 PoE-enabled 10/100 Mbps ports and two additional 10/100 Mbps uplink ports in a compact chassis, enabling simultaneous data transmission and power supply over standard Ethernet cabling. The switch is intended for wired network topologies in small to medium installations and for surveillance systems that require consolidated data and power distribution to devices such as IP cameras and VoIP phones.

Advantages

The switch supports centralized power delivery to multiple PoE-compatible devices, simplifying cabling and eliminating the need for separate power supplies at each endpoint. Its Fast Ethernet ports deliver reliable 10/100 Mbps throughput suitable for typical surveillance streams and voice traffic. The compact design and straightforward setup minimize installation complexity and make mounting in equipment racks or on walls practical in constrained environments.

Suitable for

• Small-to-medium office networks requiring PoE for IP phones and wireless access points
• Video surveillance systems with multiple PoE IP cameras
• Retail and branch locations needing simple wired networking with powered devices
• Temporary or fixed installations where combined power and data over Ethernet cabling reduces infrastructure

Key specifications

• Port count: 18 Fast Ethernet ports including 16 PoE ports and 2 uplink ports
• Data rate: 10/100 Mbps per port
• PoE capability: Integrated PoE on 16 ports for powering compatible devices
• Form factor: Compact switch suitable for desktop, wall or rack mounting in small enclosures
• Power delivery: Centralized power distribution over Ethernet to reduce external power adapters

How to use

Install the switch on a stable surface or mount it according to available mounting options, then connect the uplink ports to the network backbone or router. Connect PoE devices such as IP cameras, access points or VoIP phones to the PoE-enabled ports using standard Ethernet cables. Ensure the total power budget of the switch matches the combined requirements of connected devices and verify connection status using the front-panel LEDs. For best results, use good-quality Category 5e or higher cabling and plan port allocation to accommodate bandwidth and power needs.

Usage recommendations

Monitor the cumulative PoE power consumption when adding devices to avoid exceeding the switch’s power budget. Place the switch in a ventilated area and avoid exposure to moisture or extreme temperatures. For networks with higher bandwidth needs or advanced management requirements, consider combining this Fast Ethernet switch with gigabit uplinks or managed switches in the wider network architecture.
