Hikvision DS-3E0505P-E 5-Port Gigabit PoE Switch

Hikvision DS-3E0505P-E 5-Port Gigabit PoE Switch

The Hikvision DS-3E0505P-E is a compact, unmanaged gigabit PoE switch purpose-built for IP surveillance and security deployments. This fanless, metal-constructed device delivers reliable plug-and-play networking with integrated power delivery, eliminating the need for separate power injectors in small to medium-sized surveillance systems.

Key Features

• 4 × Gigabit PoE Ports + 1 × Uplink Port: Four dedicated PoE ports (IEEE 802.3af/at compliant) supply up to 30W per port, supporting IP cameras, access control readers, and VoIP endpoints. The fifth gigabit port enables daisy-chaining or connection to network infrastructure.
• 60W PoE Power Budget: Sufficient power capacity to simultaneously support multiple PoE devices without external power supplies.
• 10 Gbps Switching Capacity: Non-blocking architecture ensures high-speed, low-latency data transmission for HD and 4K video streams.
• Unmanaged Operation: Zero-configuration deployment—simply connect and operate. Ideal for installations where IT management overhead must be minimized.
• Compact, Fanless Design: Metal construction with dimensions of 105 × 27.6 × 83.1 mm enables flexible desk or wall mounting in tight spaces. Silent operation eliminates noise concerns.
• Robust Surge Protection: 6 kV surge protection safeguards connected devices from electrical transients.
• Energy Efficient: Idle power consumption of 5W and maximum draw of 65W reduce operational costs.

Technical Specifications

• Throughput: 7.44 Mpps packet forwarding rate; 2K MAC address table
• Power Supply: 48 VDC, 1.35 A input; 60W PoE budget across four ports
• Temperature Range: Operating 0°C to 40°C; storage -40°C to 85°C
• Certifications: FCC, CE-EMC, CE-LVD, CE-RoHS, UL 60950-1, RCM compliant
• Installation: Desk or wall-mounted configurations supported

Applications

Ideal for small office surveillance networks, retail camera deployments, access control systems, and IoT device installations where simplified cabling and centralized power management reduce installation time and costs.

The DS-3E0505P-E fills a critical gap in surveillance infrastructure: reliable, cost-effective power and connectivity for small deployments. Its 60W budget supports four concurrent 15W cameras or a mix of lower-power devices. The unmanaged design eliminates complexity—no VLAN configuration, no firmware updates—making it suitable for integrators managing multiple small sites.

The fanless metal chassis ensures silent, maintenance-free operation in noise-sensitive environments like offices and retail. Surge protection is essential in outdoor-facing installations. The compact form factor, combined with flexible mounting, makes this switch practical for tight network closets or wall-mounted infrastructure.

For basic surveillance networks without advanced traffic management needs, this switch delivers excellent value and reliability.
