NETGEAR GS316EPP-100NAS 16-Port High-Power PoE+ Gigabit Switch

Overview

The NETGEAR GS316EPP-100NAS is a 16-port Gigabit PoE+ switch designed to power and network mid-scale IP camera systems, access control readers, and network-attached devices in retail, warehouse, and light industrial environments. The 231W PoE budget supports roughly 15–16 high-power cameras (15W each) simultaneously, or a mix of mid-range cameras and IoT endpoints. One SFP uplink port provides flexible trunk connectivity to a core switch or NVR without consuming a standard RJ-45 port. Built for fixed indoor installation—not rated for outdoor or damp environments.

Compatibility

Works with any standard IP camera or PoE-powered device that draws up to 30W per port (IEEE 802.3at PoE+ and legacy PoE devices). Compatible with Axis, Hikvision, Hanwha, Uniview, and Dahua camera lines that support PoE power input. Integrates into any ONVIF-capable video management system (VMS) that accepts standard network video streams—no vendor lock-in at the switch layer. The SFP port accepts gigabit fiber modules for long-distance or noise-prone trunk runs (e.g., between buildings or across industrial floors with heavy machinery).

Installation Notes

Requires 100–240V AC wall outlet with standard IEC C13 connector. Mount to a 19-inch DIN rail, wall bracket, or standard cabinet—the switch is compact and passive (no fans). Plan for adequate cable management: 16 camera drops + 1 uplink can consume significant conduit or tray space in dense installations. Verify your wall outlet amperage before connecting: full 231W draw translates to roughly 2.3A @ 100V or 1.0A @ 240V. If powering multiple high-draw cameras, confirm no single breaker is overloaded by aggregating all devices on that circuit.
