Product SKU: DS-3E2510P-B
Product Overview
The Hikvision DS-3E2510P(B) is an 8-port fully managed Gigabit PoE network switch designed for professional IP surveillance and enterprise access networks requiring higher network control, fibre uplinks and centralised PoE power. Eight 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ45 ports support IEEE 802.3af/at PoE, with up to 30 W available per supported port and a total PoE budget of 130 W. Two Gigabit SFP optical ports provide fibre uplink capability for longer-distance backbone connections, while a dedicated console port supports local administration. Advanced management includes VLAN, QoS, multicast control, ACLs, link aggregation, STP/RSTP/MSTP, SNMP, SSH and routing functions including static routing, policy routing, RIP and OSPF. Its fanless metal enclosure suits professional CCTV network cabinets where quiet, reliable operation is preferred.
Key Capabilities
8 × Gigabit PoE Ports
Eight 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ45 ports provide Gigabit network connectivity and PoE for compatible cameras, access points and other IEEE 802.3af/at powered devices.
130 W Total PoE Budget
The switch provides a total PoE budget of 130 W, with up to 30 W available on an individual supported port for compatible IEEE 802.3af or 802.3at equipment.
Dual Gigabit SFP Fibre Uplinks
Two Gigabit SFP optical ports provide fibre backbone connectivity, making the switch suitable for longer-distance links between CCTV cabinets, buildings, control rooms or upstream network infrastructure.
Advanced Managed Networking
VLAN, QoS, ACL, multicast control, link aggregation and spanning-tree functions provide significantly more network control than an unmanaged or basic smart PoE switch.
Layer 3 Routing Support
Static routing, policy routing, RIP and OSPF support allow the switch to participate in more advanced routed network designs rather than operating only as a basic Layer 2 access switch.
Multiple Management Methods
Web, Console, Telnet, SSH and SNMP management provide flexible options for configuration, monitoring, troubleshooting and integration into professional network-management workflows.
Best For
- Professional CCTV Networks: Eight Gigabit PoE ports and a 130 W budget suit multi-camera installations requiring managed network control.
- Multi-Building Surveillance: Dual SFP uplinks allow compatible fibre connections between remote network cabinets or buildings.
- Commercial & Industrial Sites: VLAN, ACL, QoS and routing functions support more complex enterprise network requirements.
- Network Segmentation: 802.1Q VLAN and associated VLAN features allow CCTV traffic to be separated from other network services.
- Managed Backbone Links: Link aggregation, spanning-tree and ring-network functions provide resilience options for supported network designs.
Why Choose the DS-3E2510P(B)
The DS-3E2510P(B) is a stronger choice than a basic smart PoE switch when the surveillance network needs Gigabit camera ports, fibre uplinks and deeper management capability. Its 130 W PoE budget supports multiple powered devices, while VLAN, QoS, ACL, SNMP, SSH, link aggregation and Layer 3 routing functions provide the tools required for more structured network design. The two SFP uplinks are especially useful where cameras or recorders are spread across multiple buildings or longer distances. Available through Security Wholesalers, the DS-3E2510P(B) is well suited to installers who need a compact 8-port PoE access switch without sacrificing enterprise-style network management.
Buyer Decision Tips
Buyer Tip: The two uplinks are SFP optical ports rather than RJ45 copper uplinks. If the installation requires copper Gigabit uplinks, confirm whether suitable media converters, SFP copper modules or a different switch model are more appropriate.
Buyer Tip: Calculate the maximum PoE demand of every connected device before installation. Although each compatible PoE port can provide up to 30 W, the combined requirement across all eight ports must remain within the switch’s 130 W total PoE budget.

Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: You need eight Gigabit PoE access ports, dual Gigabit SFP fibre uplinks, a 130 W PoE budget and full managed networking.
- Choose a simpler smart-managed switch if: VLAN, routing, ACL, advanced authentication and enterprise management features are unnecessary.
- Choose a higher PoE-budget model if: The combined maximum consumption of the intended cameras and powered devices exceeds 130 W.
- Choose a model with RJ45 uplinks if: The installation specifically requires copper uplinks rather than SFP fibre interfaces.
FAQs
- What ports does the Hikvision DS-3E2510P(B) provide?
The Hikvision DS-3E2510P(B) provides eight 10/100/1000 Mbps Gigabit RJ45 PoE ports and two Gigabit SFP optical uplink ports, plus a console port for management. This makes it suitable for CCTV and enterprise access networks that need powered Gigabit edge ports with fibre uplink capability.
- What is the PoE budget of the DS-3E2510P(B)?
The DS-3E2510P(B) supports IEEE 802.3af and IEEE 802.3at PoE, with up to 30 W available on an individual PoE port and a total PoE power budget of 130 W. The combined maximum power requirement of all connected devices should remain within that total budget.
- Does the DS-3E2510P(B) have two Gigabit uplinks?
Yes. The DS-3E2510P(B) provides two Gigabit SFP optical uplink ports rather than two additional Gigabit RJ45 uplinks. These SFP interfaces are intended for compatible fibre transceivers and are useful when the switch needs longer-distance or electrically isolated uplinks to the wider network.
- What management features does the DS-3E2510P(B) support?
The switch supports web management, Console, Telnet and SSH, together with SNMP v1, v2c and v3. It also supports VLAN, QoS, multicast control, ACLs, link aggregation, STP, RSTP and MSTP, plus routing functions including static routing, policy routing, RIP and OSPF.
- What are the dimensions and operating limits of the DS-3E2510P(B)?
The DS-3E2510P(B) measures approximately 280 mm × 44 mm × 180 mm and weighs about 1.2 kg. Hikvision lists an operating temperature from -10°C to 50°C, storage temperature from -40°C to 75°C, and operating humidity from 10% to 90% non-condensing.
- What power supply does the DS-3E2510P(B) use?
The switch uses an internal 100 to 240 VAC, 50/60 Hz power supply. Hikvision lists maximum power consumption of 140 W and idle power consumption of approximately 10 W. For Security Wholesalers installations, the connected PoE load should be calculated before deployment so the 130 W PoE budget is not exceeded.
