Hikvision DS-3E0105P-E/M(B) 4 Port Ethernet PoE Switch
The Hikvision DS-3E0105P-E/M(B) 4 Port Ethernet Switch is a compact and practical networking solution designed for small IP surveillance systems, security installations, and other Ethernet-connected devices. With four 10/100 Mbps PoE ports and one 10/100 Mbps RJ45 uplink port, this switch allows compatible network devices such as IP cameras to receive both data and power through a single Ethernet cable. Hikvision specifies support for IEEE 802.3af and IEEE 802.3at PoE standards, making the switch suitable for a range of PoE-enabled devices.
Its compact metal construction makes it easy to install where space is limited. The switch can be desk-mounted or wall-mounted, giving installers flexibility when setting up CCTV systems in homes, offices, shops, schools, warehouses, and other commercial environments.
A Compact PoE Switch for CCTV and Networking
For many small CCTV installations, using separate power adapters for every camera can make cabling unnecessarily complicated. The Hikvision DS-3E0105P-E/M(B) provides a cleaner alternative by supplying network connectivity and PoE power through its PoE ports.
The switch has four 10/100 Mbps PoE ports, numbered 1 to 4, together with a dedicated 10/100 Mbps RJ45 uplink port. This configuration is particularly useful for smaller surveillance systems where several IP cameras need to connect back to an NVR or network infrastructure.
Reliable Data Transmission
With a 1 Gbps switching capacity and a packet forwarding rate of approximately 0.74 Mpps, the DS-3E0105P-E/M(B) is designed to handle the traffic generated by typical small-scale IP surveillance and Ethernet applications. Its store-and-forward switching method helps process network packets before forwarding them to their destination.
The switch also supports MAC address learning and has a 2K MAC address table, helping it efficiently manage connected network devices.
PoE Power for IP Cameras
One of the main advantages of the Hikvision DS-3E0105P-E/M(B) is its integrated Power over Ethernet capability. Ports 1 through 4 support PoE, allowing compatible devices to receive power through their network connection.
The switch supports IEEE 802.3af and IEEE 802.3at, with a maximum power output of 30 W per PoE port and a total PoE power budget of 35 W according to Hikvision’s current datasheet for the DS-3E0105P-E/M(B).
Ideal for Small CCTV Installations
This makes the switch a practical option for installations involving a small number of PoE IP cameras. Instead of running separate electrical power cables to every camera, installers can use suitable Ethernet cabling to simplify the installation.
It can be particularly useful for:
- Home CCTV systems
- Small offices
- Shops and retail premises
- Schools
- Small warehouses
- Residential apartments
- Gate and entrance surveillance
- Small business security systems
- IP camera expansion projects
Long-Range PoE Transmission
The DS-3E0105P-E/M(B) also provides a long-range transmission function. Hikvision specifies that Ports 1 to 4 can support transmission distances of up to 300 metres when the long-range function is used, although actual performance depends on the connected camera and cable conditions.
This feature can be valuable in CCTV installations where a camera needs to be positioned farther away from the main networking equipment. Installers should, however, consider the camera model, Ethernet cable quality, environmental conditions, and the applicable transmission mode when planning longer cable runs.
Compact and Flexible Installation
Measuring only 105 mm × 27.6 mm × 83.1 mm, the switch occupies very little space. Its small footprint makes it convenient for CCTV cabinets, network enclosures, desks, wall installations, and other areas where a larger network switch would be unnecessary.
The metal housing and fan-free design also contribute to a straightforward installation, while the desk-mounting and wall-mounting options give technicians more flexibility during deployment.
6 kV Surge Protection
Security equipment is often installed in environments where electrical disturbances and surges can present a risk. The DS-3E0105P-E/M(B) provides 6 kV surge protection, adding an important layer of protection for the switch and connected network infrastructure.
Although surge protection is valuable, proper electrical grounding and appropriate installation practices remain important for protecting CCTV and networking equipment.
