Hikvision PoE Switches + Cat6 Cable

Comms Direct supplies the Hikvision PoE switches and solid-copper Cat6 cable that carry power and data from your recorder out to every camera. Get this layer right and a Hikvision or HiLook camera system runs reliably; get it wrong and cameras drop offline at the worst possible moment.

PoE Switches — Power and Connect Every Camera Over One Cable

A PoE switch sends power and video down a single Ethernet run, so each camera needs just one cable back to the rack. The Hikvision PoE switches here scale from 4 and 8-port units for a few cameras to 24-port smart managed switches for a whole building — unmanaged for plug-and-play, or smart managed for VLANs, QoS and per-port control, with Hi-PoE and long-range models for PTZ cameras and extended cable runs. Allow one port per camera plus room to grow, and check the switch’s PoE wattage budget comfortably exceeds your cameras’ combined draw.

Cat6 Solid-Copper Cable — Reliable PoE Runs Without Voltage Drop

The Hikvision Cat6 cable here uses a genuine solid-copper conductor, not copper-clad aluminium (CCA). CCA looks identical but has far higher resistance, causing voltage drop on longer PoE runs — the reason budget cable leaves cameras dropping offline. Solid copper carries full PoE current the whole way, supplied in 305 m PoE-rated pull-boxes; for the complete cable, termination and patch-lead range see the dedicated Cat6 cable category.

Where This Range Earns Its Place Across Australia

🏠 Homes & small sites — A 4 or 8-port PoE switch powers a typical home or small-shop camera set from one tidy point. Plug-and-play unmanaged models need no configuration — connect and go.

🏢 Business & multi-camera sites — A 24-port smart managed switch runs a whole building with VLAN separation and QoS, keeping the surveillance network isolated and predictable alongside office traffic.

⚡ Electricians & installers — Solid-copper cable and matched Hikvision PoE switches make clean installs that pass commissioning first time. For multi-site rollouts, the Project Supply Desk handles project pricing and supply.
