D-Link 16 Port 10/100 Base-T Unmanaged PoE+ Surveillance Switch, Long Range 250m, 2 Gigabit Ports With 1 Combo (RJ45/SFP), 150 Watts | DES-F1016P-E/B

The D-Link DES-F1016P-E (2026 Edition) is a purpose-built networking solution meticulously engineered for the demanding world of CCTV and IP security in Abu Dhabi. While standard switches are limited by distance and power fluctuations, the DES-F1016P-E thrives in expansive environments. Whether you are a digital marketer at Adarc setting up a studio-wide security net or a campus manager at AMU overseeing a 16-camera array, this switch provides the industrial-grade stability and extended reach required for non-stop monitoring.

Key Features
The defining strength of the DES-F1016P-E is its 16 10/100 Mbps PoE Ports, which support the IEEE 802.3af/at standards. With a total 150W PoE Power Budget, it can comfortably support a full suite of high-definition IP cameras, VoIP phones, or wireless access points. It features an innovative Long Reach Switch, which allows the transmission of power and data over distances of up to 250 meters, effectively eliminating the need for expensive PoE extenders in large warehouses or outdoor installations.

Performance / Technology
Reliability is prioritized through the Intelligent PoE Watchdog feature. This system automatically detects when a connected PoE device (like an IP camera) has frozen or stopped responding and performs a targeted power cycle on that specific port to reboot the device without human intervention. To combat the unpredictable electrical surges common in industrial environments, the switch is equipped with 6kV Integrated Surge Protection, safeguarding your high-value hardware against lightning strikes and power spikes.

Design & Ergonomics
Housed in a rugged, rack-mountable metal chassis, the DES-F1016P-E is built for 24/7 continuous operation. The front panel includes a series of DIP Switches for easy manual control of specialized modes:

Extend Mode: Enables the 250m long-distance transmission.

VLAN Mode: Isolates ports 1–16 from each other to suppress broadcast storms and increase security.

QoS Mode: Prioritizes video traffic to ensure smooth, jitter-free monitoring.

PoE Mode: Enables the intelligent watchdog feature.

Compatibility / Use Cases
This switch is the ideal solution for 16-Channel IP Surveillance Systems, VoIP Office Deployments, and Warehouse Networking. Its 250m reach makes it a standout choice for retail outlets in Abu Dhabi that need to mount cameras at the far edges of parking lots or loading docks. For professional environments, the built-in VLAN isolation provides a layer of security that prevents unauthorized access across different network segments.

Why This Product Stands Out
The DES-F1016P-E stands out by offering Surveillance-Specific Intelligence at a Competitive Value. While general-purpose switches require complex configurations to achieve similar results, this model provides hardware-level optimization via DIP switches. Its combination of 150W power capacity, 6kV surge shielding, and the self-healing "Watchdog" feature makes it the most reliable and maintenance-free 16-port PoE investment available at Adarc in 2026.
