The Mercusys MS118CP is a cost-effective rackmount switching solution designed for small business and surveillance deployments that need reliable PoE power delivery without breaking the budget. While not part of the UniFi ecosystem, this switch offers practical value for customers seeking basic managed features in scenarios where centralized cloud management isn’t required—making it an economical alternative for straightforward installations like IP camera systems or small office networks.

• 16 PoE+ ports with 10/100 Mbps speeds plus 2 Gigabit uplink ports deliver sufficient power and connectivity for surveillance cameras and basic access points
• 190W total PoE budget with up to 30W per port supports power-hungry devices across multiple ports simultaneously
• Extended mode transmission reaches up to 250 meters for remote camera installations beyond standard Ethernet distances
• Priority Mode and Isolation features ensure critical surveillance traffic gets bandwidth priority while separating client traffic for improved security
• PoE Auto Recovery automatically reboots unresponsive powered devices, reducing service calls and maintenance overhead
• 5-year warranty provides long-term peace of mind and protection for your investment

This plug-and-play switch requires no configuration, making it ideal for installers who need quick deployment without complex setup procedures. The combination of extended distance capability, port prioritization, and automatic device recovery makes the MS118CP particularly well-suited for surveillance systems and basic network expansion where UniFi’s advanced management features aren’t essential. For customers building pure UniFi networks, consider our UniFi PoE switches for full ecosystem integration—but for budget-conscious mixed deployments or standalone camera systems, the Mercusys MS118CP delivers reliable performance at an attractive price point.
