Hikvision DS-3E0516R-O 16-Port Gigabit Desktop / Rack-Mount Ethernet Switch

Hikvision DS-3E0516R-O 16-Port Gigabit Desktop/Rack-Mount Ethernet Switch

The Hikvision DS-3E0516R-O is a robust unmanaged 16-port Gigabit switch, engineered for expanding wired networks in offices, surveillance setups, and other network-dense environments. It provides 16 × 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ45 ports, all capable of Gigabit speeds—making it well suited for connecting multiple devices like computers, NVRs, IP cameras, and NAS drives simultaneously with high throughput.

Housed in a metal, fan-free chassis, the switch delivers silent, reliable performance with reduced maintenance needs—helpful for noise-sensitive or always-on installations. Its compact yet sturdy build also includes rack-mount ears, letting you install it in a standard 19-inch rack for organized network closets.

Under the hood, DS-3E0516R-O delivers solid performance: 32 Gbps switching capacity, packet forwarding rate up to 23.81 Mpps, and a MAC address table supporting up to 8,000 entries (8 K)—enough to handle fairly large network loads without bottlenecks. It supports non-blocking, store-and-forward switching with wire-speed forwarding, which helps ensure reliable data transfer even across many ports simultaneously.

For durability and resilience—particularly in areas prone to power issues—the switch includes 6 kV surge protection.  Power consumption is modest, with a maximum of 12 W and idle consumption around 2.8 W.

Because it’s unmanaged and plug-and-play, DS-3E0516R-O requires no configuration—just connect your devices, and the switch handles packet forwarding, speed negotiation, and port management automatically.
