DAHUA PFS3206-4P-96 6-Port Unmanaged Industrial PoE Switch

The  DAHUA PFS3206-4P-96 6-Port Unmanaged Industrial PoE Switch is a compact surveillance-grade network switch designed for CCTV systems, offices, shops, warehouses, perimeter security setups, and small business networks that need reliable PoE power delivery with fiber uplink capability. It features 4 PoE ports for IP cameras and other PoE devices, plus 2 Gigabit SFP fiber uplink ports for long-distance backbone connectivity. With support for IEEE 802.3af / 802.3at / Hi-PoE, a total PoE budget of 96W, industrial wide-temperature design, and unmanaged plug-and-play operation, this switch is a practical solution for CCTV deployments that require stable camera power, simple installation, and flexible uplink options.

Product Features

6-Port Switch with 4 PoE Camera Ports

The DAHUA PFS3206-4P-96 is a 6-port unmanaged PoE switch built for surveillance and network edge deployments. It provides 4 PoE-capable Ethernet ports for powering compatible IP cameras or other PoE devices, making it suitable for small CCTV systems, access points, and remote network extensions.

2 Gigabit SFP Uplink Ports

This switch includes 2 × 1000 Base-X SFP fiber uplink ports, allowing users to connect the switch to a longer-distance network backbone using fiber modules. This is especially useful in large compounds, warehouses, industrial sites, schools, and multi-building CCTV installations where copper cabling distance is limited.

96W PoE Budget with Hi-PoE Support

The PFS3206-4P-96 supports IEEE 802.3af, IEEE 802.3at, and Hi-PoE standards. Dahua lists Ports 1, 2, and 3 at up to 30W each, while Port 4 supports up to 60W, with a total PoE budget of 96W. This makes it suitable for powering standard PoE cameras as well as higher-power devices that require Hi-PoE.

Unmanaged Plug-and-Play Operation

This model is a two-layer unmanaged PoE switch, which means it does not require complex configuration or controller setup. Users can simply connect cameras, NVRs, or network devices and begin using the switch immediately, making it ideal for straightforward surveillance and office network deployments.

Stable Network Performance

The switch offers 6.8 Gbps switching capacity, 4.91 Mpps packet forwarding rate, 1 Mb packet buffer memory, and an 8K MAC address table, helping maintain smooth and stable data transfer for connected IP cameras and network devices in small-to-medium surveillance networks.

Industrial Wide-Temperature Design

The DAHUA PFS3206-4P-96 is designed for tougher deployment environments and supports wide operating temperatures, making it suitable for CCTV cabinets, warehouses, gate systems, industrial sites, and outdoor-protected network enclosures. Depending on the Dahua source version, the listed working temperature is -30°C to +65°C, with some older project documentation showing -40°C to +75°C.

Basic Lightning and Surge Protection

To improve reliability in surveillance deployments, the switch includes lightning protection rated at 4 kV common mode and 2 kV differential mode, helping protect connected devices in typical field installations.
