Hikvision DS-3E0310HP-E-C 8 Port Fast Ethernet Unmanaged Hi-PoE Switch with 2 Gigabit RJ45 Uplinks 110W PoE Budget & 300m Long Range

Product SKU: DS-3E0310HP-E-C

Product Overview

The Hikvision DS-3E0310HP-E(C) is an 8-port Fast Ethernet unmanaged Hi-PoE switch designed for CCTV networks requiring higher-power PoE, Gigabit uplinks and extended transmission distances. Eight 10/100 Mbps PoE ports connect cameras and other compatible powered devices, while two dedicated Gigabit RJ45 uplinks provide higher-bandwidth connections to an NVR or upstream network. Ports 1 and 2 support IEEE 802.3bt Hi-PoE with up to 90 W per port, while the switch provides a total PoE budget of 110 W. Extend mode supports network transmission up to 300 metres on ports 1–8, subject to camera and cable conditions. Additional DIP-switch functions include port isolation and PoE watchdog automatic camera recovery. A fan-free metal enclosure, 6 kV surge protection and compact desktop design make it particularly practical for small to medium professional IP CCTV installations.

Key Capabilities

Best For

• Small to medium CCTV systems: Eight powered access ports suit compact surveillance installations using up to eight PoE cameras.
• High-power PTZ cameras: Two IEEE 802.3bt Hi-PoE ports can supply compatible devices requiring substantially more power than standard PoE.
• Long cable runs: Extend mode supports transmission distances up to 300 metres where compatible devices and suitable cabling allow.
• Standalone camera networks: Port isolation can reduce direct communication between edge devices while still permitting access to the uplinks.
• Low-maintenance installations: PoE watchdog can automatically restart unresponsive cameras without requiring a managed switch platform.

Why Choose the DS-3E0310HP-E(C)

The DS-3E0310HP-E(C) provides a useful combination of simple unmanaged operation and CCTV-focused functions that would normally require a more specialised switch. Two 90 W Hi-PoE ports support demanding powered devices, while the remaining PoE ports handle conventional cameras within a total 110 W budget. Dual Gigabit uplinks provide a stronger connection back to the recorder or core network, and Extend, Isolation and PoE Watchdog modes can be enabled directly using the switch controls. The fan-free metal enclosure and 6 kV surge protection further suit dedicated surveillance deployments. Available through Security Wholesalers, this model is particularly practical where installers need long-range PoE and high-power camera support without introducing the configuration overhead of a fully managed network switch.

Ideal Use Cases

Choosing the Right Model

• Choose the DS-3E0310HP-E(C) if: You need eight PoE access ports, two Gigabit uplinks, two 90 W Hi-PoE ports, a 110 W budget and up to 300 metre transmission.
• Choose a standard PoE switch if: All connected cameras use conventional PoE or PoE+ and extended-distance transmission or 802.3bt power is unnecessary.
• Choose a Gigabit access switch if: Individual connected devices require more than 100 Mbps network throughput on their access ports.
• Choose a managed switch if: The project requires VLAN configuration, detailed traffic management, remote switch administration or more advanced network monitoring.

FAQs

1. Is the Hikvision DS-3E0310HP-E(C) an unmanaged PoE switch?
   Yes. The DS-3E0310HP-E(C) is a Layer 2 unmanaged Hi-PoE switch designed to provide straightforward network and PoE connectivity without a conventional managed-switch configuration interface. It provides eight 10/100 Mbps PoE access ports and two Gigabit RJ45 uplinks. Dedicated DIP-switch modes add long-range transmission, port isolation and PoE watchdog functions while keeping everyday deployment simple.
2. How many PoE ports and uplink ports does the DS-3E0310HP-E(C) have?
   The switch provides eight 10/100 Mbps PoE RJ45 ports for powered devices and two Gigabit RJ45 ports for uplink or network connections. Ports 1 and 2 are Hi-PoE ports supporting IEEE 802.3af, 802.3at and 802.3bt, while ports 3 to 8 support IEEE 802.3af and 802.3at. The two Gigabit uplinks help avoid restricting aggregate traffic to Fast Ethernet speed.
3. How much PoE power can the DS-3E0310HP-E(C) provide?
   The total PoE power budget is 110 W. Hi-PoE ports 1 and 2 can each support up to 90 W, while ports 3 to 8 support up to 30 W per port. The total connected PoE load must still remain within the switch’s overall 110 W budget, so camera and accessory power requirements should be calculated together rather than adding only the individual port maximums.
4. Can the DS-3E0310HP-E(C) transmit PoE up to 300 metres?
   Yes. With Extend mode enabled, PoE ports 1 to 8 support long-range network transmission up to 300 metres. Hikvision notes that actual long-range performance can vary with the connected camera and cable condition. Long-range mode should therefore be treated as a supported deployment option rather than a guarantee that every camera, cable type and installation will achieve identical results at the maximum distance.
5. What does the PoE watchdog function do?
   PoE watchdog mode automatically detects cameras connected to ports 1 to 8 that stop responding and restarts them by cycling PoE power. This can reduce the need for a manual site visit when a compatible powered camera becomes unresponsive. It is a switch-side recovery feature and does not replace troubleshooting persistent network, cabling, firmware or device faults.
6. What does port isolation do on the DS-3E0310HP-E(C)?
   Isolation mode separates data transmission between PoE ports 1 to 8 while still allowing traffic to reach the uplink ports. This can improve network security and reduce unwanted communication between connected edge devices. It is useful for CCTV installations where cameras mainly need to communicate with the recorder or upstream network rather than directly with one another.
7. Does the DS-3E0310HP-E(C) have surge protection?
   Yes. Hikvision specifies 6 kV surge protection for the DS-3E0310HP-E(C), together with a grounding terminal for connection to a grounding cable. This improves resilience in demanding installations, but correct grounding, surge protection design, cabling and installation practices are still required. The switch itself is specified for indoor operation from 0°C to 40°C and should be installed within those environmental limits.
8. Who should choose the Hikvision DS-3E0310HP-E(C)?
   Choose the DS-3E0310HP-E(C) when a CCTV installation needs eight PoE camera ports, two Gigabit uplinks, a 110 W PoE budget, Hi-PoE support and optional transmission distances up to 300 metres without the complexity of a fully managed switch. When planning the switch through Security Wholesalers, calculate the combined PoE load and confirm whether any high-power device requires one of the two 90 W Hi-PoE ports.
