Quad SFP Uplinks & Intelligent Remote Cloud Topology
Designed for seamless integration into enterprise networks, the DS-3E1528P-EI connects directly to Hikvision’s Hik-Partner Pro cloud management platform. Network administrators gain real-time access to visual topology maps, remote port control, cable diagnostics, and instant system alerts. Equipped with quad Gigabit SFP slots, it enables long-distance fibre optic trunk links between server rooms and remote campus buildings. Intelligent PoE Watchdog continuously monitors active camera links, automatically power-cycling frozen endpoints to minimise system downtime. Comprehensive Layer 2 features—such as 802.1Q VLANs, STP/RSTP, port isolation, link aggregation, and 6 kV surge protection—ensure maximum reliability and bandwidth efficiency.
Quad SFP Slots & 370 W PoE Power
Features 4 dedicated Gigabit SFP slots for fibre optic backbones alongside 24 Gigabit PoE ports backed by a robust 370 W total power budget. Extended PoE mode supports power and data transmission up to 300 metres.
PoE Watchdog & Cloud Maintenance
Automated PoE Watchdog detects non-responsive IP devices and automatically restarts port power. Full Hik-Partner Pro cloud integration allows remote topology viewing, cable health testing, and batch updates.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the advantage of having 4 SFP fibre ports on the DS-3E1528P-EI?
The 4 dedicated SFP slots allow high-speed fibre optic trunk connections to core switches or NVRs across large campuses and multi-floor buildings without consuming any of the 24 copper Gigabit PoE ports.
Can I run cameras at long distances with this switch?
Yes, by toggling Extend mode via the cloud or web management interface, power and data transmission on ports 1 through 24 can reach distances of up to 300 metres over standard Cat5e/Cat6 cabling.
How does PoE Watchdog improve network reliability?
PoE Watchdog continuously monitors communication with connected devices. If a camera becomes unresponsive, the switch automatically resets power to that specific port to bring the device back online.
How do I remotely monitor the switch health and network topology?
The switch integrates natively with Hikvision’s Hik-Partner Pro platform, letting you inspect visual network topology, check power loads, perform remote cable diagnostics, and receive instant alert notifications.
