The Dahua PFS3009-8ET-65 is a 9-port unmanaged desktop switch designed to deliver combined data transmission and power supply over ethernet cabling. Featuring 8 Fast Ethernet PoE ports and 1 Uplink port, it acts as a central distribution hub for IP surveillance systems and network devices. It eliminates the need for separate power cabling, streamlining network infrastructure for security installations.

How many PoE ports are available and what is the power budget?

This switch provides 8 PoE ports operating at 10/100 Mbps alongside 1 dedicated Fast Ethernet Uplink port for connecting to a router or NVR. The unit supports a total PoE budget of 65W. Port 1 supports Hi-PoE (IEEE802.3bt compliant up to 60W), making it suitable for high-power devices like PTZ cameras, while Ports 2 through 8 support standard IEEE802.3af/at protocols delivering up to 30W per port.

What is the long-distance transmission capacity?

The Dahua PFS3009-8ET-65 features extended PoE transmission capabilities. When switching to Extend Mode, the unit can supply data and power up to a distance of 250 meters over standard Cat5e/Cat6 network cables at 10 Mbps speed. This significantly lowers installation costs by eliminating the requirement for extra network extenders or repeaters across long perimeter runs.

Where can this switch be used?

This PoE switch is designed for small to medium-scale IP video surveillance systems, small offices, commercial shops, and residential setups. It is optimal for powering IP surveillance cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones. Built with PoE Green Power Management, it automatically controls power consumption and offers hardware-level lightning protection for outdoor and indoor device deployments.
