Speco P16S182 16-port Megabit Poe Switch

Product Description

The SPECO P16S182 is a 16-port megabit Power over Ethernet (PoE) network switch designed for structured cabling and IP device installations. It delivers both data and DC power over standard Ethernet cable, eliminating the need for separate power supplies at each connected device. This switch is suited for installers and integrators who need a reliable, centrally powered network distribution point. It ships as a single unit and falls within the switches and routers product category.

This switch is commonly deployed in commercial and light-industrial environments where IP cameras, access control readers, VoIP phones, or similar PoE-compatible devices require network connectivity and power at the edge. Its 16-port capacity makes it appropriate for mid-density installations where a single switch can serve an entire floor or zone without additional aggregation hardware.

Key Features

• 16 ports with Power over Ethernet (PoE) support for centralized device power delivery
• Megabit (10/100 Mbps) throughput per port suitable for IP cameras and access control devices
• Eliminates individual power adapters at PoE-capable endpoints
• Single-unit form factor sold individually (1 EA per unit)
• Categorized as a network switch for structured low-voltage cabling systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style network switch compatible with standard PoE-capable IP devices such as IP cameras, VoIP phones, and access control panels operating on 10/100 Mbps Ethernet connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage technician or licensed electrician familiar with structured cabling and NEC Article 725 low-voltage wiring requirements. Power down or disconnect the switch from its power source before making or changing any cable connections. Use Cat5e or better cabling to ensure reliable PoE delivery and data throughput to all connected devices. Verify that the total PoE load of connected devices does not exceed the switch's power budget before commissioning.
