The Hikvision DS-3E0310HP-E(C) is a professional 8-port Fast Ethernet unmanaged PoE network switch designed for security surveillance, enterprise offices, and IP camera networking. Delivering a high PoE power budget of 110 W, robust surge protection, and optimized data transmission parameters, it provides a stable and reliable network core.
Hikvision DS-3E0310HP-E(C) 8-Port Unmanaged PoE Switch
This high-performance Layer 2 network switch features 8 PoE ports designed to power and connect IP cameras, access points, VoIP phones, and other PoE-enabled hardware. With a total PoE power budget of 110 W, it provides up to 30W of power per port under IEEE 802.3af/at standards. Additionally, ports 1 to 2 support high-power Hi-PoE (up to 90W under IEEE 802.3bt), allowing it to directly power high-draw PTZ cameras, dome heaters, and thermal cameras without requiring separate injectors.
The switch features robust 2 × Gigabit RJ45 ports uplink ports, allowing for high-bandwidth connections to local NVR storage, core switches, or internet routers. Engineered for demanding security workloads, it features a built-in PoE Watchdog that automatically detects and power-cycles unresponsive IP cameras. Housed in a durable rack-mountable metal chassis, it includes 6kV port surge protection to shield the network from electrical spikes.
Reliable Power & 110 W PoE Budget
With a total power capacity of 110 W, the switch provides consistent, regulated power across all connected PoE devices. The high-performance internal power supply ensures stable operation even under peak load conditions.
Integrated PoE Watchdog Technology
Features Hikvision's intelligent PoE Watchdog algorithm. The switch continuously polls connected IP cameras; if a camera stops responding or crashes, the switch automatically cycles the PoE power to that specific port, restarting the camera and restoring the video stream without requiring manual intervention.
High-Bandwidth Uplink Connectivity
Equipped with dedicated 2 × Gigabit RJ45 ports uplinks to ensure bottleneck-free video transmission. Gigabit SFP optical fiber and RJ45 ports provide long-distance and high-speed data backup runs directly to the local NVR or main network router.
Plug-and-Play Unmanaged Operation
Designed for instant deployment with no configuration or software management required. Simply plug in your devices and the switch automatically negotiates speeds and assigns PoE power based on connected device classes.
