Expand the reach and simplify the cabling of your NVR security camera system with this 16-Port PoE switch (8-port ePoE and 8-port PoE+). The AEX16 switch allows for the expansion of your surveillance system by providing additional PoE+ ports to connect multiple IP cameras. It supports long-range PoE transmission, enabling flexible camera placement without the need for additional power sources. The switch also features indicator lights for power, link/activity, and PoE status, aiding in monitoring and troubleshooting.

  • Cut Costs, Reach Farther: Sick of cutting cables and installing multiple switches? We’ve got you covered. This innovative ePoE switch eliminates the need for multiple switches when connecting distant security cameras. With extended power delivery over a single cable, you can power your cameras directly from the switch, saving money on additional hardware and reducing overall power consumption.
  • Powerful 250W PoE+ switch: This PoE+ switch can handle an output up to 30 watts of power from the PoE ports, with a total output of 250W. Considering that our average cameras use less than 6W, you can efficiently power up to 16 cameras with this 16-port switch, utilizing the full 250W capacity.
  • Flexible Surveillance System Design: Use this PoE switch to extend the distance of your cameras from your recorder. With ePoE support up to 600m/2000ft, this switch allows for more flexible surveillance system design, improves reliability, and saves on construction and wiring costs. (ePoE Security Cameras, like Lorex's Nocturnal 4 Cameras, are required for cable runs over 100m/328ft)
  • SFP Port: Expand Your Network with Fabric Cables: An SFP port is also available for you to connect this PoE switch to another switch or network device using a high-speed fabric cable. This provides a faster and more reliable connection for your devices.
  • Plug-and-play: Easily connect Lorex network cameras to the PoE switch using Ethernet cables (up to 300 ft / 91 m or up to 2000 ft / 600 m with long-range options), enabling both power and data transmission through a single cable; integrate the switch with your router/LAN for remote access, utilize the built-in SFP port for fiber expansion (dust cap removable), and power the system via a standard AC outlet for a clean, scalable, and professional-grade surveillance solution.
  • Security: Provides reliable power and data transmission to connected devices, supporting IEEE 802.3af/at standards for secure connectivity.​
  • Indicator Lights: Features clear LED indicators for system status, allowing quick visual diagnostics of switch and port performance.
  • Auto Detecting and Auto Sensing: Supports automatic detection and negotiation of network speeds (10/100 Mbps), PoE requirements, and device types; includes auto-learning and auto-aging with an 8K MAC address table for seamless, plug-and-play integration of connected devices without manual configuration.
  • Compatibility: Compatible with various Lorex NVR systems, including N841, N842, N843, N844, N845, N846, N847, N861B, N862B, N863, N864, N881B, N882B, N883, N884, and N910 Series; requires a standard power outlet and a connected router or LAN for network integration.
  • What is a PoE switch?: A PoE switch can incorporate additional cameras to your NVR if you have additional channels open. For instance, a 32-channel NVR only has 16 built in PoE ports on the back. So by adding a PoE switch, you will be able to incorporate the remaining 16 channels into your security camera system. A secondary use of a PoE switch is that it can help you extend the distance of your IP cameras from your NVR.
