Hikvision DS-3E0526P-E 24-Port Gigabit PoE Unmanaged Network Switch

Key specs

The DS-3E0526P-E is a 24-port Gigabit PoE unmanaged switch built for CCTV and structured cabling deployments.

• 24 × Gigabit PoE ports, supporting IEEE 802.3af (up to 15.4 W) and 802.3at (up to 30 W) per port
• 370 W total PoE power budget — plan camera counts and PTZ/heater-blower loads against this figure, not just per-port maximums
• 1 × Gigabit RJ45 uplink + 1 × Gigabit SFP fiber uplink, giving a fibre option for backbone runs to the head end
• 52 Gbps switching capacity with a forwarding rate of approximately 38.69 Mpps, sized for concurrent HD/4K video streams
• 8K MAC address table and store-and-forward switching architecture
• 6 kV surge protection on PoE ports

Layer 2, unmanaged

There's no web GUI or CLI — this is plug-and-play switching, not a managed/VLAN-capable platform. That makes it fast to deploy in a cabinet or on a desk, but rule it out where port-level PoE scheduling, VLAN segmentation or SNMP monitoring is required on the job.

Build and mounting

Metal rack-mount chassis, fan-free operation, suited to network cabinets, comms rooms or direct desktop placement alongside NVRs.

Sizing the PoE budget

With 24 ports and 370 W shared, running all ports simultaneously at the 30 W 802.3at maximum isn't possible — budget per-camera draw against the 370 W total when specifying a run of PTZs or IR-heavy cameras.
