Hikvision DS-3E0505P-E 4-Port Gigabit Unmanaged PoE Switch

The Hikvision DS-3E0505P-E is a compact and reliable 4-Port Gigabit Unmanaged PoE Switch designed to provide seamless network connectivity with robust power delivery for devices such as IP cameras, wireless access points, and other networked equipment. With its high-speed performance, efficient power management, and durable design, this switch is ideal for small to medium-sized surveillance setups, office networks, and smart home deployments. It combines simplicity, efficiency, and safety, ensuring uninterrupted data transmission and power delivery to connected devices.

Compact and Durable Design

The DS-3E0505P-E is constructed with a metal housing that offers durability and heat dissipation while maintaining a sleek and professional appearance. Its fan-free design ensures silent operation, making it suitable for quiet office environments, homes, or control rooms. The switch is lightweight, weighing only 0.26 kg (0.57 lb), yet its gross weight of 0.84 kg (1.85 lb) ensures stability when desk-mounted or wall-mounted. Measuring 105.0 mm × 27.6 mm × 83.1 mm (4.1” × 1.1” × 3.3”), it is compact enough to fit in tight spaces without compromising performance.

This switch can be conveniently installed either on a desk or mounted on a wall, offering flexible deployment options for various network layouts. Its operating temperature range of 0 °C to 40 °C (32 °F to 104 °F) and storage temperature range of -40 °C to 85 °C (-40 °F to 185 °F) allow it to perform reliably in both indoor and semi-outdoor environments, while its operating and relative humidity tolerance of 5% to 95% (non-condensing) ensures resilience under varying atmospheric conditions.

Power over Ethernet (PoE) Capabilities

One of the defining features of the DS-3E0505P-E is its support for Power over Ethernet (PoE), allowing it to deliver both data and electrical power through a single Ethernet cable. This eliminates the need for additional power adapters for network devices, simplifying installation and reducing clutter. The switch supports both IEEE 802.3af (PoE) and IEEE 802.3at (PoE+) standards, providing a maximum port power of 30 W per port and a total PoE power budget of 60 W.

PoE ports are designated as Ports 1 to 4, using the End-span method (pins 1/2 +, 3/6 -) to supply power efficiently to connected devices such as Hikvision IP cameras, wireless APs, and VoIP phones. This makes the switch ideal for small-scale surveillance systems where power and data delivery need to be centralized and streamlined.

High-Speed Networking Performance

Despite its compact size, the DS-3E0505P-E delivers impressive network performance. It includes 4 Gigabit PoE ports and 1 Gigabit RJ45 uplink port, supporting high-speed data transmission for multiple connected devices. With a switching capacity of 10 Gbps and a packet forwarding rate of 7.44 Mpps, it ensures smooth and lag-free communication even when all ports are in full use. The 2K MAC address table and 1 Mbit internal cache enhance the efficiency of data switching, enabling quick and accurate packet forwarding across the network.

The switch also features low idle power consumption of only 5 W while providing a maximum power output of 65 W, making it energy-efficient without sacrificing performance. Its intelligent power allocation ensures that connected devices receive stable and reliable energy, avoiding interruptions that could compromise surveillance or network operations.

Safety and Reliability

The DS-3E0505P-E prioritizes user safety and network protection. It comes with 6 KV surge protection, shielding both data and power lines from transient voltage spikes caused by lightning or power fluctuations. Additionally, the switch has undergone extensive testing and meets global standards for EMC compliance (FCC, CE-EMC, IC, RCM) and safety certifications (UL, CB, CE-LVD), ensuring reliability and secure operation in diverse environments.

Compliance with RoHS (2011/65/EU) ensures that the device is free of hazardous substances, making it an environmentally responsible choice for modern network infrastructure.

Applications

The Hikvision DS-3E0505P-E is highly versatile and ideal for a range of applications:

• Small to medium surveillance systems: Connect multiple IP cameras with PoE power over a single cable.
• Office networks: Provide seamless connectivity for VoIP phones, computers, and access points.
• Smart home or building automation: Integrate cameras, sensors, and Wi-Fi devices without additional power adapters.
• Remote or semi-outdoor deployments: Durable build and wide temperature range enable flexible placement.
