🔌 Ports & Power
18 × 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ45 ports — full Gigabit at each port for network devices.
16 × PoE+-capable downlink ports (supports IEEE 802.3af/at) — power IP cameras, APs, VoIP phones and other PoE devices directly via Ethernet.
2 × 1 Gbps SFP uplink ports — for fiber or longer-distance backbone connections.
Total PoE budget: 247 W across all PoE+ ports, with up to ~30 W per port depending on load.
⚙️ Key Features
Unmanaged / Plug-and-Play: No setup or software needed — connect and go.
Visible on Ruijie Cloud (read-only): Can appear in Ruijie Cloud topology when at least one managed switch is present.
Intelligent PoE management:
PoE watchdog auto-recovers power for unresponsive devices.
Extend mode: supports longer PoE transmission distances (e.g., up to ~250 m with quality cabling).
Port isolation and flow control can help boost local network security and traffic stability.
Large hardware buffer: Helps ensure smooth traffic for CCTV and multi-device networks.
Energy-efficient design: Supports Green Ethernet (802.3az) and uses hardware flow control for energy saving and performance.
High-quality construction: Designed to be stable and reliable over long periods with strict PCB and component standards.
🔁 Performance
Switching capacity: ~36 Gbps — supports simultaneous Gigabit traffic across all ports.
Forwarding rate: ~26.8 Mpps (million packets per second) — efficient for high traffic loads.
MAC address table: ~8,000 entries (typical for this class).
Auto-negotiation & Auto MDI/MDIX: ports adjust speed/duplex and cable type automatically.
🛠️ Design & Reliability
Fanless and quiet: Ideal for office or home environments with minimal noise.
Metal housing or durable build: Designed for long-term reliability.
Surge protection: Ethernet port surge protection (often ~4 kV) guards against spikes.
Operating temperature: 0 °C to 45 °C (32 °F to 113 °F).
Warranty: Typically 3 years of manufacturer coverage.
📌 Typical Use Cases
✅ Powering and networking IP cameras in CCTV systems
✅ Supporting Wi-Fi access points and VoIP phones without separate power injectors
✅ Small business/homes needing Gigabit network + PoE delivery
✅ Plug-and-play network expansion without complex setup
✅ Long-distance PoE applications with Extend mode
📍 Summary
The Ruijie Reyee RG-ES118GS-P-L is an 18-port unmanaged Gigabit PoE+ switch with 16 powered ports and 2 fiber uplinks, offering a generous 247 W PoE budget, intelligent PoE features, strong switching performance, and plug-and-play simplicity — ideal for CCTV networks, small offices, retail environments, and PoE-enabled deployments where ease of use and reliability matter.
