Product Information
Full details
The Dahua PFS3110-8ET-96-V2 is a robust, unmanaged 10-port PoE switch designed for security professionals and network installers needing reliable power for IP cameras and access points. Its standout capability is the 90W Hi-PoE red port and automatic watchdog functionality, which significantly reduces manual maintenance by power-cycling unresponsive devices. While it is highly effective for long-distance deployments and high-power peripherals, users should note that it is an unmanaged device, meaning it lacks advanced VLAN or layer-3 management features found in enterprise-grade switches.

FAQs
Can I use this switch for non-PoE devices?
Yes, it functions as a standard network switch for any Ethernet-enabled device.
What is the function of the red port?
The red port supports Hi-PoE and IEEE 802.3bt, providing up to 90W of power for high-demand devices.
How does the PoE Watchdog work?
It detects if an IPC stops responding and automatically power-cycles the specific port to recover the connection.
Is this switch rack-mountable?
The device is a desktop form factor and does not include rack-mount ears, though it can be placed on a shelf in a rack.
What is the maximum cable length supported?
Standard performance is 100m, but it extends up to 250m when Extend Mode is enabled.
Does it require any software configuration?
No, this is an unmanaged switch that operates via physical switches on the device.
Troubleshooting
Connected device is not powering on.
Check that the total PoE power consumption does not exceed the 96W budget and ensure the cable is terminated correctly.
PoE device keeps restarting.
Ensure PoE Watchdog is not interfering with the device; try disabling the watchdog to see if the behavior persists.
Poor network speed at long distances.
Verify that 'Extend Mode' is active, which reduces speed to 10 Mbps to maintain a stable link over long cable runs.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High power capacity with 90W support on the red port
- Automatic device recovery via PoE Watchdog
- Extended range up to 250m for remote devices
- Durable, compact design for various environments
- Efficient power delivery with 8-pin assignment
Cons
- Unmanaged interface lacks complex configuration options
- PoE ports are limited to Fast Ethernet speeds (10/100 Mbps)
- Not suitable for rack-mount environments without custom mounting
Setup, Compatibility & Care
This is an unmanaged plug-and-play device. To set it up, connect your power source and plug your networking cables into the corresponding ports. Use the physical toggle switches to enable 'Extend Mode' or 'PoE Watchdog' as required for your deployment.
Regarding compatibility, the switch supports IEEE 802.3af/at/bt standards, ensuring it works with the vast majority of modern IP devices. To maintain longevity, ensure the unit is placed in a ventilated area, as even passive cooling requires airflow to dissipate heat from the 96W PoE budget. Avoid exceeding the total power budget of 96W across all connected devices to prevent intermittent power cycling.
