Robust Build and Design

The DS-3E0310P-E/M switch is housed in a durable metal shell, offering both physical protection and improved heat dissipation for consistent long-term performance. The compact and lightweight design, weighing 0.555 kg (1.22 lb) with a gross weight of 1.2 kg (2.65 lb), allows flexible installation in multiple environments. Its dimensions of 217.6 mm × 103.35 mm × 27.8 mm (8.57” × 4.07” × 1.09”) make it ideal for desk-mounted or wall-mounted setups, offering space-saving convenience without compromising functionality.

The switch is built to operate in a range of environmental conditions, with an operating temperature from 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F) and storage temperature from –40°C to 85°C (–40°F to 185°F). Its operating humidity range of 5% to 95% (non-condensing) ensures reliability in varied climates, while the integrated 6 kV surge protection safeguards connected devices from electrical spikes, further enhancing the durability and safety of your network infrastructure.

Network and Performance Capabilities

The DS-3E0310P-E/M is equipped with 8 × 10/100 Mbps PoE ports and 2 × Gigabit RJ45 uplink ports, providing versatile connectivity options. Its MAC address table supports up to 8,000 addresses, enabling efficient management of connected devices, while the switching capacity of 5.6 Gbps and packet forwarding rate of 4.17 Mpps ensures smooth, uninterrupted network traffic.

With an internal cache of 4 Mbits, the switch can handle bursts of traffic efficiently, reducing packet loss and improving overall network stability. Whether supporting multiple IP cameras or high-bandwidth devices, the DS-3E0310P-E/M delivers fast and reliable data transmission across all ports.

Power over Ethernet (PoE) Capabilities

One of the standout features of the DS-3E0310P-E/M is its PoE functionality, which simplifies network deployment by allowing both data and power to be transmitted over a single Ethernet cable. The switch supports IEEE 802.3af (PoE) and IEEE 802.3at (PoE+) standards, providing flexibility to power a variety of network devices such as IP cameras, VoIP phones, and access points.

Each PoE port delivers a maximum of 30 W, with a total PoE power budget of 60 W, sufficient to support multiple connected devices simultaneously. For installations requiring extended reach, the long-range feature allows PoE transmission up to 300 meters on ports 1–8, depending on cable quality and connected device specifications. This capability reduces the need for additional power sources and makes installation more flexible, especially in large buildings or outdoor environments.

Energy Efficiency

The switch is designed to be energy-efficient, with a maximum power consumption of 65 W and an idle power consumption of just 5 W. This low-power operation helps reduce operational costs and aligns with environmentally conscious installations, ensuring that network performance does not come at the expense of energy efficiency.

Easy Installation and Operation

As an unmanaged switch, the DS-3E0310P-E/M is plug-and-play, requiring no complex configuration or management. This makes it ideal for quick deployment in offices, retail spaces, or small-scale surveillance systems. The switch supports both desk-mounted and wall-mounted installations, giving technicians flexibility in positioning the device for optimal cable management and system layout.
