DS-3E0526P-E 24 Port Gigabit Unmanaged POE Switch

DS-3E0526P-E product overview

The DS-3E0526P-E is an unmanaged 24-port Gigabit PoE switch designed for video surveillance networks. It provides 24 Gigabit PoE ports, one Gigabit RJ45 uplink and one Gigabit SFP uplink, allowing cameras to connect to a recorder or core network over copper or fiber.

Its published PoE budget is 370 W, with IEEE 802.3af/at support. The actual number of powered cameras depends on each device's maximum demand, startup behavior, cable condition and the design margin reserved for the installation.

Key features

• 24 Gigabit PoE ports for cameras or other compatible powered devices.
• One Gigabit RJ45 uplink and one Gigabit SFP uplink.
• 370 W total PoE budget with up to 30 W available per PoE port.
• IEEE 802.3af/at support and automatic powered-device detection.
• 52 Gbps switching capacity and store-and-forward operation.
• 6 kV surge protection and plug-and-play unmanaged deployment.

Best-fit applications

This switch is suited to medium and larger IP camera systems in offices, warehouses, retail sites, campuses and commercial buildings where 24 local camera connections and a high aggregate PoE budget are required.

Compatibility and pre-order checks

• Add the maximum power draw of every camera and keep practical reserve below the 370 W total budget.
• Confirm that each powered device uses compatible IEEE 802.3af/at PoE and does not require a different power standard.
• Choose the RJ45 or SFP uplink path and verify cable length, fiber type and transceiver compatibility.
• Check rack space, ventilation, grounding and surge-protection design.
• Remember that an unmanaged switch does not provide the VLAN, redundancy or monitoring controls of a managed model.

Frequently asked questions

Is the DS-3E0526P-E a managed switch?

No. It is an unmanaged plug-and-play switch. Choose a managed model if the project requires configurable VLANs, spanning-tree controls, detailed port monitoring or other managed-network functions.

What uplink ports does this model provide?

It provides one Gigabit RJ45 uplink and one Gigabit SFP uplink. This differs from the E/M model, so the exact suffix should be checked before ordering.

Can all 24 ports deliver their maximum power simultaneously?

The total load must remain within the 370 W PoE budget even though an individual port can supply up to its specified limit. Calculate with each device's maximum consumption and include design reserve.
