Power and Connect Your Entire Network with Ease
The Mercusys MS118CP is a high-performance, rack-mountable switch engineered for small to medium-sized businesses, especially those deploying IP surveillance systems. This powerful unit simplifies your network infrastructure by delivering both data and power over a single Ethernet cable to devices like IP cameras, VoIP phones, and access points. With a robust 190W total power budget, it's built to handle your demanding connectivity needs without complex configuration.
Dedicated High-Power PoE+ and Flexible Uplinks
Featuring 16 dedicated 10/100 Mbps ports compliant with the IEEE 802.3at/af PoE+ standard, the MS118CP can supply up to 30W of power per port. For high-speed connections to your core network or NVR, it includes two Gigabit RJ45 ports and two combo Gigabit SFP slots, providing flexible copper or fiber uplink options.
Advanced Features for Surveillance and Security
Designed specifically for surveillance systems, the switch boasts an Extend Mode that allows for data and power transmission up to 250 meters, perfect for cameras in remote locations. Priority Mode for ports 1-8 ensures the quality of sensitive applications like video monitoring, while Isolation Mode enhances security by separating client traffic. Furthermore, the PoE Auto Recovery feature guarantees stable operation by automatically rebooting unresponsive devices.
Built for Professional Environments
The MS118CP's durable metal casing is designed for a standard 1U rackmount installation, saving space and keeping your setup organized. Its plug-and-play design means deployment is fast and easy, with no technical assistance required. Two internal fans ensure efficient heat dissipation for long-term reliability.
