Network switch Hikvision DS-3E1309P-EI(B) 8-port 100 Mbps with 110W PoE

Hikvision DS-3E1309P-EI(B) is an 8-port Ethernet switch that provides 100 Mbps per copper port and a shared 110 W Power over Ethernet (PoE) budget. It is intended for small to medium surveillance or network deployments where mid-range throughput and centralized PoE power simplify installation by delivering both data and power over the same twisted-pair cables. The compact metal housing and fan-less design make it suitable for equipment cabinets and indoor mounting where quiet, reliable operation is required.

Advantages

The switch integrates eight 100 Mbps ports with PoE support, reducing the need for separate power supplies for connected cameras and network devices. A total 110 W PoE budget enables simultaneous powering of multiple PoE cameras or access points while preserving predictable network connectivity at each port. The device’s passive cooling and compact footprint allow installation in constrained spaces; its straightforward port layout and plug-and-play operation reduce setup time for typical surveillance and access network use cases.

Suitable for

• Small to medium IP surveillance systems with multiple PoE cameras
• Office networks requiring a mix of powered devices such as access points and VoIP phones
• Edge deployments where compact, quiet network equipment is preferred
• Temporary installations that benefit from combined data and power distribution

Key specifications

• Number of ports: 8 x 10/100 Mbps RJ-45 copper ports
• PoE power budget: 110 W total shared across ports
• PoE standard: provides PoE across supported ports (check device power class compatibility)
• Switching capacity: suitable for 100 Mbps per port throughput
• Form factor: compact metal housing, fan-less design
• Mounting: desktop or rack/closet placement in indoor environments

How to use

Place the switch in a well-ventilated indoor location and connect it to a network uplink using one of the RJ-45 ports. Connect PoE-capable devices such as IP cameras, wireless access points, or VoIP phones to the remaining ports; the switch will supply power automatically to compatible devices. Ensure the combined power draw of all connected PoE devices does not exceed the 110 W total budget to maintain stable operation. Use standard Ethernet cables (Cat5e or better) for data and power transmission and route cables to comply with local installation practices and safety regulations.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, distribute high-power devices across ports to avoid concentrating the power draw on adjacent ports and monitor total PoE consumption when adding cameras or access points. Use quality Ethernet cabling (Cat5e or Cat6) and ensure the switch is installed in a dust-free, temperature-controlled indoor environment. For larger installations or higher bandwidth requirements, consider switches with gigabit ports or larger PoE budgets.
