Dahua PFS3006-4ET-60 4-Port Fast Ethernet Poe Switch

Dahua PFS3006-4ET-60 4-Port Fast Ethernet PoE Switch

In modern security and networking setups, reliable data and power delivery are critical for maintaining smooth operations. The Dahua PFS3006-4ET-60 4-Port Fast Ethernet PoE Switch is engineered to provide both efficiency and convenience, especially in surveillance applications where stable connectivity and long-distance transmission are required. Combining intelligent PoE capabilities, flexible operation modes, and compact design, this switch is an excellent choice for both small and medium-sized network deployments.

4-Port Fast Ethernet with PoE Support

The PFS3006-4ET-60 is designed with four PoE-enabled Fast Ethernet ports that deliver both power and data to connected devices such as IP cameras, wireless access points, or VoIP phones. This eliminates the need for separate power cables, reducing installation complexity and cost. By transmitting power directly through the Ethernet cable, users can enjoy a streamlined setup with fewer cables and a cleaner network environment.

Long-Distance PoE Transmission – Up to 250 Meters

One of the standout features of this switch is its ability to support long-distance PoE transmission of up to 250 meters. This extended reach ensures stable connectivity for devices installed in wide areas, such as outdoor surveillance cameras, large warehouses, parking lots, or extended building perimeters. Traditional switches typically support only up to 100 meters, but with Dahua’s long-distance PoE technology, the PFS3006-4ET-60 provides greater flexibility for installations in challenging environments.

Intelligent PoE Power Management

Power efficiency is a core focus of this switch. It supports PoE power consumption of up to 60W in total, with distribution as follows:

• Port 1: Up to 60W (suitable for Hi-PoE devices such as PTZ cameras).
• Ports 2–4: Each up to 30W (ideal for PoE and PoE+ devices such as fixed cameras, wireless APs, or VoIP phones).

This allocation ensures that high-power devices receive the energy they need without overloading the system. The ability to power high-consumption devices directly from Port 1 makes the switch especially valuable in security setups where PTZ cameras with heaters or advanced features require greater energy.

Supports Multiple PoE Protocols

To maximize compatibility, the switch adheres to standard IEEE802.3af (PoE), IEEE802.3at (PoE+), and Hi-PoE protocols. This ensures that it works seamlessly with a wide range of powered devices from different manufacturers, offering flexibility for mixed-brand deployments. The inclusion of Hi-PoE support provides additional options for powering devices that require more than the typical PoE+ limit of 30W.

Default and Extend Mode with DIP Switch Control

The DIP switch control on the PFS3006-4ET-60 allows users to toggle between Default Mode and Extend Mode depending on their networking requirements.

• Default Mode: Provides standard PoE transmission up to 100 meters with full bandwidth.
• Extend Mode: Enables long-distance transmission of up to 250 meters at 10 Mbps speed, ensuring stable connections for far-reaching devices.

This flexibility allows installers to optimize performance based on specific scenarios—whether they prioritize speed or extended coverage.

Compact and Lightweight Design

Measuring just 130mm × 85mm × 26mm and weighing 300g, this switch is compact and easy to integrate into any setup. Its slim design makes it suitable for desktop use, wall mounting, or installation inside a small network cabinet. Despite its lightweight build, the switch is designed for durability, ensuring long-term reliability even in demanding environments.

Stable Power Input

The switch operates on DC48~57V power input and comes with a 48V, 1.5A adapter. This stable voltage range ensures consistent power delivery, reducing the risk of downtime or device malfunction. The included adapter simplifies installation, providing everything needed for quick deployment right out of the box.
