Product SKU: DH-S3010-8ET2GT-90
Product Overview
The Dahua DH-S3010-8ET2GT-90 is a 10-port unmanaged desktop PoE switch designed for small and medium-sized IP surveillance networks. It provides eight 10/100 Mbps PoE ports for compatible cameras or other powered devices, together with two Gigabit RJ45 uplink ports for connection to an NVR, router or upstream switch. A shared 90 W PoE budget supports up to 30 W per powered port, while long-distance mode extends transmission on ports 1 to 8 up to 250 metres at a reduced 10 Mbps data rate. Its plug-and-play design suits installations that do not require VLANs, web management or advanced port configuration. The compact fanless sheet-metal enclosure supports desktop or wall mounting and operates from -10°C to 55°C. This model is well suited to homes, shops, offices, cafés, small warehouses and other sites requiring up to eight PoE camera connections with faster Gigabit uplinks.
Key Capabilities
Eight PoE Device Connections
Eight Fast Ethernet PoE ports can deliver network data and power to compatible cameras or other powered devices. This reduces the need for separate local power supplies and keeps smaller surveillance installations easier to cable and maintain.
Two Gigabit Uplinks
Two 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ45 uplink ports provide faster connections to an NVR, router or upstream network switch. This helps prevent the uplink from becoming the same 100 Mbps bottleneck as the individual powered camera ports.
90 W Shared PoE Budget
The switch provides up to 90 W across its eight PoE ports, with individual ports supporting up to 30 W. This suits mixed small-camera systems where the total connected load has been calculated before installation.
250 Metre Long-Distance Mode
Ports 1 to 8 can transmit PoE up to 250 metres when long-distance mode is enabled. The negotiated data rate is reduced to 10 Mbps, making this feature most suitable for cameras whose bitrate remains within that limit.
Plug-and-Play Operation
The unmanaged design requires no web interface, VLAN setup or port programming for normal operation. It is a practical option for straightforward surveillance networks where easy deployment is more important than advanced network control.
Fanless Metal Construction
The sheet-metal housing dissipates heat without an internal fan, helping reduce mechanical noise and maintenance. Its compact size supports desktop or wall installation in equipment cupboards, offices and small communications areas.
Best For
- Eight-Camera CCTV Systems: Suitable for installations requiring up to eight directly powered IP cameras or compatible PoE devices.
- Retail Stores: Supports camera networks covering shopfronts, counters, aisles, stockrooms and entry points.
- Homes and Small Offices: Provides simple PoE distribution without managed switch configuration.
- Long Camera Cable Runs: Long-distance mode can support compatible cameras installed beyond normal Ethernet distances.
- NVR-Based Networks: Two Gigabit uplink ports provide flexible connections to a recorder and wider network.
Why Choose the DH-S3010-8ET2GT-90
The DH-S3010-8ET2GT-90 is a practical step up from smaller four-port switches when an installation needs up to eight powered camera connections and faster uplinks to the recorder or network. Its two Gigabit uplink ports help carry combined camera traffic more effectively than a switch using only Fast Ethernet throughout, while the 90 W PoE budget suits many conventional fixed-camera systems. Long-distance mode also adds flexibility for cameras positioned beyond standard Ethernet limits. Available through Security Wholesalers, this model is best suited to straightforward surveillance installations where plug-and-play operation is preferred and 10/100 Mbps camera ports provide sufficient bandwidth. Buyers needing managed VLAN functions, remote switch administration or Gigabit speed on every PoE port should choose a different model.
Buyer Decision Tips
Buyer Tip: Add together the maximum wattage of all connected cameras or PoE devices. Each powered port supports up to 30 W, but the combined load across ports 1 to 8 must remain within the shared 90 W PoE budget.
Buyer Tip: The eight camera ports operate at 10/100 Mbps, while only the two uplink ports are Gigabit. Confirm that the bitrate of each connected device is suitable, especially when using high-resolution or high-frame-rate cameras.

Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: The system requires up to eight Fast Ethernet PoE connections, two Gigabit uplinks and a total PoE budget of 90 W.
- Choose a full-Gigabit PoE switch if: Every connected camera requires Gigabit throughput rather than 10/100 Mbps.
- Choose a larger switch if: More than eight powered devices or more than 90 W of combined PoE capacity is required.
- Choose a managed switch if: The network requires VLANs, port monitoring, traffic control or remote switch administration.
FAQs
- How many PoE devices can the Dahua DH-S3010-8ET2GT-90 connect?
The DH-S3010-8ET2GT-90 provides eight 10/100 Mbps PoE ports, so it can directly connect and power up to eight compatible PoE devices. Ports 9 and 10 are separate Gigabit uplink ports. The shared PoE budget is 90 W, so the combined maximum power demand of all connected devices must remain within that total.
- Does the DH-S3010-8ET2GT-90 support 250 metre PoE transmission?
Yes. Long-distance mode allows ports 1 to 8 to transmit PoE up to 250 metres, with the negotiated data rate reduced to 10 Mbps. This can help with distant cameras, but cable quality, resistance and device power requirements still affect performance. Use suitable cabling and test the complete run before commissioning.
- Are the uplink ports on the DH-S3010-8ET2GT-90 Gigabit?
Yes. Ports 9 and 10 are 10/100/1000 Mbps Gigabit RJ45 uplink ports. The eight powered camera ports operate at 10/100 Mbps. This arrangement gives the switch faster connections to an NVR, router or upstream switch while retaining Fast Ethernet PoE connectivity for the connected cameras.
- What is the total PoE budget of the DH-S3010-8ET2GT-90?
The DH-S3010-8ET2GT-90 provides a shared PoE budget of up to 90 W across ports 1 to 8. Each individual PoE port supports up to 30 W, but all connected loads must remain within the overall 90 W limit. Add the maximum power draw of every device before installation.
- Is the DH-S3010-8ET2GT-90 a managed switch?
No. The DH-S3010-8ET2GT-90 is an unmanaged plug-and-play switch. It does not provide managed functions such as VLAN configuration, port monitoring or web administration. This makes it suitable for straightforward camera networks, while projects requiring traffic control or remote switch management should use a managed model.
- Can the DH-S3010-8ET2GT-90 be wall mounted?
Yes. The DH-S3010-8ET2GT-90 supports both desktop and wall mounting. Its fanless sheet-metal enclosure suits small communications areas, equipment cupboards and other compact installation points. Use appropriate fixings for the wall surface and leave adequate clearance for ventilation, the external power supply and network cabling.
- What should be checked before buying the DH-S3010-8ET2GT-90?
Confirm the number of PoE devices, their combined wattage, the required cable distances and whether 10/100 Mbps camera ports are sufficient. The DH-S3010-8ET2GT-90 is available through Security Wholesalers for compatible small surveillance networks, but it should not be selected where managed features, Gigabit PoE ports or more than 90 W are required.
