Product Description
DS-3E0505P-E: 4-port Gigabit PoE, 60 W budget, unmanaged. Fixed-function Layer-2 switch for camera drops where a managed switch isn't justified — no config, no VLANs to set up, just power and forward.
Key specs
- 4 × Gigabit PoE ports + 1 × Gigabit RJ45 uplink
- 802.3af / 802.3at PoE, up to 30 W per port
- 60 W total PoE budget across the 4 ports
- Switching capacity ~10 Gbps, forwarding rate 7.44 Mpps
- Store-and-forward architecture
- 6 kV surge protection on PoE ports
- Fan-free metal enclosure, desktop or wall mount
Budget planning
30 W/port is the ceiling if only one port is loaded, but the 60 W shared budget means you can't run four 30 W (802.3at) loads simultaneously — plan against total draw, not per-port maximum. Fine for four standard IP cameras; check wattage before adding PTZs or IR-heavy units.
Where it fits
Unmanaged means no port mirroring, no VLAN tagging, no SNMP — this is a small-site or sub-run device, not a core switch. Sits well at the edge feeding a 4-camera cluster back to a managed switch or NVR PoE uplink. Metal, fan-free build suits cabinets and control rooms where noise and dust matter.
Also listed under MPN DS-3E0505P-E-1 — same unit, same spec.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can all 4 PoE ports run at 30 W simultaneously?
No — each port supports up to 30 W individually, but the switch has a total PoE power budget of 60 W shared across all four ports, so four full 802.3at loads at once would exceed the budget.
Does the DS-3E0505P-E need configuration?
No. It's a plug-and-play unmanaged Layer-2 switch with no VLAN, mirroring or SNMP configuration options.
What PoE standards does it support?
IEEE 802.3af and IEEE 802.3at, covering standard PoE and PoE+ powered devices such as most IP cameras.
Is this switch suitable for outdoor or unprotected cabling runs?
The PoE ports include 6 kV surge protection, which helps protect connected cameras and network equipment from electrical surges, but no IP rating or outdoor housing is stated, so it should be mounted indoors or in a protected enclosure.
