Advanced Audio/Video Distribution Features

Six Powered LAN Ports

The Hikvision DS-KAD606-P includes six powered RJ45 Ethernet ports designed to support compatible audio/video intercom devices.

Each powered port supports 10/100Mbps networking and the distributor’s specified 24V DC power distribution.

This arrangement helps simplify intercom installations by providing network and power connections through designated network ports.

Important: The 24V powered outputs should not be assumed compatible with standard IEEE 802.3af/at PoE devices. Verify equipment compatibility before connection.

Two Dedicated Cascading LAN Ports

The distributor includes two additional RJ45 LAN ports for cascading and network interconnection.

These ports help expand supported intercom installations while keeping connected devices organized.

Supports Up to Eight Cascaded Distributors

The DS-KAD606-P supports cascading up to eight distributors.

This makes it suitable for larger supported intercom installations that require additional network distribution points.

Actual system capacity depends on connected equipment, network design and compatibility requirements.

Built-in 24V DC Power Distribution

The device features a built-in 24V DC power supply and provides 24V DC output through its six designated powered LAN ports.

This helps reduce the need for separate power connections at compatible endpoints.

The supplied specification lists device power consumption of 8W or less. It does not state the total available powered-port output budget.

10/100Mbps Ethernet Switching

All eight RJ45 interfaces support 10/100Mbps networking.

Supported networking features include:

• IEEE 802.3
• IEEE 802.3u
• IEEE 802.3x
• Full- and half-duplex operation
• Auto MDI/MDI-X
• Store-and-forward switching

These features support network communication in compatible Hikvision audio/video installations.

Network Traffic Management

The distributor includes several Ethernet switching capabilities:

• 4 priority queues
• Up to 64 VLANs
• VLAN ID range of 1–4094
• 8K MAC address table
• 1Mbit internal buffer
• IEEE 802.3x full-duplex flow control
• Back-pressure half-duplex flow control

These specifications support organized network communication within the distributor’s intended system architecture.

Compact Desktop or Wall-Mount Design

Measuring 176 × 91 × 32mm, the Hikvision DS-KAD606-P can be installed on a desktop or mounted to a suitable wall surface.

Its compact dimensions make it practical for communication cabinets, equipment rooms and other supported intercom installation locations.

Designed for Long-Term Reliability

The distributor has a specified Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) exceeding 1,000,000 hours.

MTBF is a statistical reliability measure and does not represent a guaranteed operating lifespan or warranty period.
