Hikvision DS-3E0510P-E 8-Port PoE Gigabit Switch

Hikvision DS-3E0510P-E 8-Port PoE Gigabit Switch

The Hikvision DS-3E0510P-E is a compact, unmanaged Gigabit PoE switch engineered for small-to-medium IP surveillance and security deployments. With 8 Gigabit PoE ports delivering up to 30W per port and a total PoE budget of 110W, this switch provides plug-and-play simplicity while supporting power-hungry devices like IP cameras, access controllers, and wireless access points over a single cable.

Key Features

• 8 Gigabit PoE Ports: IEEE 802.3af/at compliant with up to 30W maximum per port and 110W total PoE power budget
• Dual Uplink Options: 1× Gigabit RJ45 port and 1× Gigabit SFP fiber port for flexible network extension and long-distance connectivity
• Unmanaged Operation: Zero-configuration design—simply connect and deploy; no VLAN or QoS management required
• High-Speed Switching: 20 Gbps switching capacity and 14.88 Mpps packet forwarding rate ensure lag-free data transmission
• Fanless, Metal Design: Durable metal enclosure with no moving parts guarantees silent, maintenance-free operation
• Compact Form Factor: 217.6 × 27.8 × 108.55 mm (8.6" × 1.1" × 4.3") fits easily on desks or wall mounts in cramped installations
• Surge Protection: 6 KV surge protection safeguards connected devices from electrical transients
• Low Power Consumption: Only 10W at idle, scaling to 120W under full load for cost-effective operation

Applications

Ideal for IP surveillance systems, access control networks, building automation, and small office/branch office (SOHO) deployments. The DS-3E0510P-E excels in environments where ease of installation and minimal maintenance are priorities, making it a cost-effective choice for integrators and system designers building out secure, scalable networks.

The DS-3E0510P-E strikes a practical balance between performance and affordability. Its 110W PoE budget supports up to three high-power devices simultaneously (e.g., three 35W pan-tilt-zoom cameras), though careful load planning is essential for larger deployments. The dual uplink—RJ45 + SFP—provides future-proofing: use RJ45 for standard cabling runs or SFP for fiber links spanning hundreds of meters without signal degradation.

As an unmanaged switch, it eliminates configuration overhead but lacks VLAN, QoS, and monitoring features; enterprises requiring granular traffic control should consider managed alternatives. The 20 Gbps switching fabric and 4K MAC table are more than sufficient for sub-16-port environments. Fanless design ensures quiet operation critical in offices and retail spaces, while 6 KV surge protection offers reasonable defense against electrical faults—pair with external UPS for mission-critical systems.

Compact DIN-rail and wall-mount compatibility makes installation flexible.
