The DS-3E0526P-E operates efficiently across a wide temperature range from –10 °C to 55 °C (14 °F to 131 °F) and can be safely stored at temperatures as low as –40 °C to 85 °C (–40 °F to 185 °F). It also tolerates 5% to 95% humidity without condensation, making it ideal for office, industrial, or outdoor-networked applications where environmental conditions can vary.

Network Performance

The switch is equipped with 24 Gigabit PoE ports, 1 Gigabit RJ45 port, and 1 Gigabit fiber optical port, providing high-speed connectivity for multiple devices such as IP cameras, access points, and networked printers. Each Gigabit PoE port supports IEEE 802.3af and IEEE 802.3at standards, delivering a maximum of 30 W per port and a total PoE power budget of 370 W, enabling the simultaneous operation of multiple powered devices without additional power adapters.

Performance-wise, the DS-3E0526P-E features a switching capacity of 52 Gbps and a packet forwarding rate of 38.69 Mpps, ensuring efficient data transmission and minimal latency even under high network loads. The internal cache of 4.1 Mbits and a MAC address table of 8 K provide the ability to handle large networks and support high-volume traffic effectively.

Power and Surge Protection

The DS-3E0526P-E operates on a 100–240 VAC, 50/60 Hz power supply and consumes a maximum of 400 W under full load, with idle power consumption as low as 30 W, making it energy-efficient without compromising performance. For added reliability, the switch is equipped with 6 kV surge protection, safeguarding connected devices against electrical spikes and surges, which is particularly beneficial for outdoor PoE devices such as IP cameras or access points.

Easy Deployment and Unmanaged Operation

As an unmanaged switch, the DS-3E0526P-E is plug-and-play, requiring no complex configuration or management software. This simplifies installation and reduces the total cost of ownership, making it ideal for businesses or installations that need quick, reliable network connectivity without advanced network management requirements. Its design supports both desk-mounted setups and standard rack-mounted installations, providing flexibility to fit various network environments.

Compliance and Safety

The DS-3E0526P-E meets stringent international standards for both electromagnetic compatibility and safety. It complies with FCC (47 CFR Part 15, Subpart B), CE-EMC, ICES-003, and RCM regulations, ensuring minimal interference with other electronic devices. Safety approvals include UL 60950-1, CB (AMD1/AMD2), and CE-LVD (EN 62368-1), guaranteeing the device is tested and certified for secure operation. Additionally, the switch adheres to CE-RoHS (2011/65/EU) environmental standards, confirming it is free from hazardous materials and environmentally safe.
