Product Description
A 24-port PoE switch answers one question first: can it power all my cameras and still pass their video without a hiccup? The DS-3E0526P-E gives 24 Gigabit PoE ports, so each camera gets power and data over one Ethernet cable — no separate power supply needed at the camera end.
What it actually does
It supports IEEE 802.3af and 802.3at, the two common PoE standards — af covers lower-power devices, at (sometimes called PoE+) covers higher-draw ones like PTZ cameras. Each port can deliver up to 30 W, but the switch's total PoE budget is 370 W — worth checking against your camera count and power draw before you buy, since that total, not the per-port figure, is what limits a fully loaded cabinet.
For getting video back to a recorder or head end, there's one Gigabit RJ45 uplink and one Gigabit SFP fibre uplink, so you can run copper or fibre depending on distance.
Under the hood
- 52 Gbps switching capacity, ~38.69 Mpps forwarding rate — for handling multiple HD/4K streams at once
- 8K MAC address table with store-and-forward switching
- 6 kV surge protection on PoE ports
- Metal chassis, rack-mountable, fan-free for quiet operation
It's unmanaged — plug-and-play, with no web interface for VLANs or per-port controls. That suits straightforward CCTV installs where you just need reliable power and switching, not network configuration.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many cameras can the DS-3E0526P-E power?
It has 24 PoE ports, but the total power budget is 370 W, so the real limit depends on how much each camera draws — check that total before assuming all 24 ports can run high-power devices at once.
Is this switch managed, with VLAN or per-port control?
No — it's an unmanaged Layer-2 switch with plug-and-play setup, so there's no web interface for VLANs or per-port settings.
Does it support PoE+ for higher-power devices like PTZ cameras?
Yes, it supports IEEE 802.3at (PoE+) as well as 802.3af, with up to 30 W available per port.
How do I connect it back to my recorder or network backbone?
Use the Gigabit RJ45 uplink port for a standard copper connection, or the Gigabit SFP fibre uplink if you need a fibre run instead.
