The Wavlink NW1602GP is an 18-port gigabit PoE+ switch made for powering and connecting IP security cameras, WiFi access points and VoIP phones. Its 16 PoE+ ports each supply up to 30W, from a total 250W power budget, while two gigabit SFP uplink slots connect it to the rest of your network.
Plug-and-play setup means no software or configuration is needed. Three modes let you tailor the Wavlink NW1602GP to the job: Default mode for normal switching, VLAN mode to isolate ports for security, and Extend mode for longer cable runs to distant cameras.
Who is the Wavlink NW1602GP for?
The Wavlink NW1602GP is ideal for CCTV installers, IT contractors and small businesses building a surveillance system or rolling out WiFi access points across an office, warehouse, school or shop. Run a single network cable to each camera or access point and the switch provides both data and power, so there is no need for power points at every device. Use VLAN mode to isolate cameras from guest traffic, and connect the SFP uplinks to your NVR or core switch over fibre.

Wavlink NW1602GP FAQs
Is the Wavlink NW1602GP managed?
No. It is a plug-and-play unmanaged switch with VLAN and Extend modes selectable on the unit.
How many cameras can it power?
Up to 16 PoE devices, as long as the total draw stays within the 250W budget (for example 16 cameras at about 15W each).
What does Extend mode do?
Extend mode trades link speed for distance, so PoE devices such as cameras can be placed further away on longer cable runs.
Can I mount it in a rack?
Yes, it fits a standard 19-inch rack using mounting brackets.
