Product Overview
Industrial surveillance networks that include high-power PTZ cameras, remote camera nodes, or fibre backhaul requirements call for a switch purpose-built to handle all three. The Hikvision DS-3T0506HP is a 4-port Gigabit unmanaged Hi-PoE switch engineered for DIN rail installation in industrial cabinets, outdoor enclosures, and plant rooms where standard office switches are unsuitable. It delivers 4 Gigabit PoE ports supporting IEEE 802.3af/at/bt, with Port 1 capable of up to 90W Hi-PoE output for demanding devices. Two Gigabit SFP fibre optical ports provide long-distance network uplinks back to a core switch or control room. The total PoE budget of 110W, combined with 300m long-range transmission support, 6kV surge protection, and an operating range of -40°C to 75°C, makes the DS-3T0506HP suited to factories, warehouses, transport infrastructure, and remote perimeter camera deployments where environmental conditions and cable distances exceed what conventional switching can support.
Key Capabilities
90W Hi-PoE on Port 1
Port 1 supports up to 90W of Hi-PoE output under IEEE 802.3bt, providing the higher power draw required by compatible PTZ cameras and specialist high-power surveillance devices that standard PoE+ ports cannot supply alone.
2 Gigabit SFP Fibre Ports
Two Gigabit SFP optical ports allow fibre uplinks from remote camera cabinets or industrial network segments back to a core switch or NVR network, extending reach well beyond the limits of copper-only installations.
110W Total PoE Budget
A 110W shared PoE budget across 4 ports supports multiple connected cameras simultaneously. Intelligent powered-device detection and system-level overload protection manage power allocation and help prevent overcurrent conditions.
300m Long-Range Transmission
Long-range mode extends supported Ethernet cable runs up to 300m, giving installers more flexibility on large sites, perimeter runs, and remote camera points where standard 100m Ethernet distances are insufficient.
Industrial Wide-Temperature Design
Rated from -40°C to 75°C with rugged aluminium alloy construction and fan-free operation, this switch is built for industrial cabinets, outdoor enclosures, and plant rooms where temperature variation and dust are ongoing concerns.
6kV Surge Protection and DIN Rail Mounting
Built-in 6kV surge protection improves reliability in industrial and outdoor-adjacent installations. DIN rail mounting integrates neatly into structured network enclosures and equipment cabinets without requiring separate mounting hardware.
Best For
- High-Power PTZ Camera Deployments: Port 1 delivers up to 90W Hi-PoE output under IEEE 802.3bt, supporting compatible PTZ cameras and other high-demand PoE devices at a single port.
- Remote Fibre-Connected Camera Nodes: The 2 Gigabit SFP ports allow remote camera cabinets to connect back to a core switch or control room over fibre, making this switch practical for large or multi-building sites.
- Industrial Cabinet and Outdoor Enclosure Installations: Fan-free operation, DIN rail mounting, and a -40°C to 75°C operating range suit factory floor cabinets, weatherproof enclosures, and plant room deployments where heat and vibration are present.

Why Choose the DS-3T0506HP
The DS-3T0506HP stands apart from standard desktop PoE switches through a combination of industrial-grade construction and features that matter in demanding surveillance deployments. Its Port 1 Hi-PoE output of up to 90W under IEEE 802.3bt addresses the power requirements of compatible PTZ cameras that exceed what PoE+ can supply. The 2 Gigabit SFP fibre ports make this switch genuinely useful as a remote node that connects back to a main network over fibre, which is something a copper-only switch cannot do. A wide operating temperature range of -40°C to 75°C, 6kV surge protection, and DIN rail mounting address real installation challenges in industrial and outdoor-adjacent locations. For integrators planning camera infrastructure in factories, warehouses, transport hubs, or perimeter installations with extended cable runs, the DS-3T0506HP is available through Security Wholesalers as part of the Hikvision switching range.
Buyer Decision Tips
Buyer Tip – PoE Budget Planning: The DS-3T0506HP has a 110W total PoE budget shared across 4 ports. If Port 1 is used for a 90W Hi-PoE device, the remaining 20W is shared across Ports 2-4, which support up to 30W each subject to the total budget. Calculate the combined power draw of all connected devices before finalising your configuration, and confirm that the power supply can deliver the required 48-57VDC at up to 2.5A.
Buyer Tip – SFP Module Compatibility: The DS-3T0506HP includes 2 Gigabit SFP ports but does not include SFP modules in the box. You will need to source compatible SFP transceivers separately and confirm they are suitable for the switch and fibre cable type being used. Verify single-mode or multimode requirements, fibre connector type, and wavelength before ordering modules for this installation.

Ideal Use Cases
Factory and Warehouse CCTV Networks
The aluminium alloy fan-free housing, DIN rail mounting, and -40°C to 75°C operating range make this switch suited to industrial floors, equipment rooms, and distribution centres where temperature variation and dust are present in the environment.
PTZ Camera Power Points
Port 1 provides up to 90W Hi-PoE output under IEEE 802.3bt, making the DS-3T0506HP a practical switching option for locations where a single high-power PTZ camera is being deployed alongside 1-3 standard PoE cameras.
Remote Camera Cabinets with Fibre Backhaul
The 2 Gigabit SFP ports allow a remote camera enclosure to connect back to a core switch or NVR via fibre, which is useful for multi-building sites, car parks, and perimeter installations where copper cable distances alone are not sufficient.
Transport and Infrastructure Surveillance
Wide-temperature operation, 6kV surge protection, and long-range transmission support make this switch suitable for transport hubs, roadside infrastructure, and remote monitoring points exposed to electrical interference and temperature extremes.
Outdoor Enclosure Deployments
Fan-free operation eliminates moving parts that could fail in dusty or humid conditions. Combined with DIN rail mounting and a compact 158 x 101.2 x 31.6mm form factor, this switch fits neatly into weatherproof and industrial-grade enclosures on site.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: Your installation requires a DIN rail industrial switch with Hi-PoE output for a high-power PTZ or specialist device, fibre uplinks via SFP ports, wide-temperature operation down to -40°C, and 300m long-range transmission support in a compact fan-free form factor.
- Choose a different model if: You need more than 4 PoE ports at a single switching point – a larger industrial PoE switch with a higher port count and greater total PoE budget would be more appropriate for dense camera clusters. If Hi-PoE output and SFP fibre ports are not required, a standard unmanaged PoE switch may offer a more cost-effective solution for straightforward indoor camera runs.
FAQs
- What makes the DS-3T0506HP different from a standard office PoE switch?
The DS-3T0506HP is purpose-built for industrial environments. It supports DIN rail mounting, operates from -40°C to 75°C, uses a rugged fan-free aluminium alloy housing, provides 6kV surge protection, and includes 2 Gigabit SFP fibre ports. Standard office PoE switches typically lack these features and are not rated for wide-temperature or high-surge environments.
- How much power can Port 1 deliver?
Port 1 supports up to 90W Hi-PoE output under IEEE 802.3bt. Ports 2 through 4 each support up to 30W, subject to the 110W total PoE budget across all 4 ports. If Port 1 is drawing close to 90W, available power for the remaining ports is reduced accordingly. Always calculate the combined device power draw before finalising the camera configuration.
- Do SFP modules come included with the switch?
No, SFP transceiver modules are not included. You will need to source compatible Gigabit SFP modules separately. Before purchasing, confirm whether your fibre run is single-mode or multimode, the required connector type, and the transmission distance, then select an appropriate module that is compatible with the DS-3T0506HP.
- How does the 300m long-range transmission mode work?
The DS-3T0506HP supports extended Ethernet transmission up to 300m in long-range mode. Actual distance achieved depends on cable quality, cable type, connected device compatibility, and power draw. This mode is intended for surveillance-specific cable runs where the standard 100m Ethernet limit is a constraint, and should be confirmed against the specific camera and cable being used on site.
- What power supply does the DS-3T0506HP require?
The switch requires a 48-57VDC input at 2.5A. This is not a standard AC-powered desktop switch – an appropriate DC power supply must be provided as part of the installation. Confirm that the power supply can support the full 120W maximum draw of the switch under load before deployment.
- Is the DS-3T0506HP suitable for outdoor installations?
The switch is rated for industrial environments with a wide operating temperature range and 6kV surge protection, but it is not independently IP-rated for direct outdoor exposure. It should be installed inside an appropriate weatherproof or industrial enclosure when deployed outdoors or in locations exposed to moisture. Available through Security Wholesalers, this switch is stocked for professional CCTV and industrial network installations across Australia.
- What PoE standards does this switch support?
The DS-3T0506HP supports IEEE 802.3af (up to 15.4W per port), IEEE 802.3at/PoE+ (up to 30W per port), and IEEE 802.3bt/Hi-PoE on Port 1 (up to 90W). Intelligent powered-device detection identifies the power class of each connected device and delivers an appropriate power level, with system-level overload protection active across all PoE ports.
