Dahua DH-PFS3006-4GT-60 6-Port Gigabit PoE Switch

The Dahua DH-PFS3006-4GT-60 is a 6-port unmanaged Gigabit PoE switch designed for CCTV surveillance networks, IP cameras and other network devices requiring Ethernet connectivity and PoE power. The switch provides four PoE Ethernet ports and two uplink ports, allowing multiple compatible devices to be connected through a single compact networking solution.

With its all-Gigabit ports, intelligent PoE functions, PoE watchdog and long-distance transmission capability, the Dahua DH-PFS3006-4GT-60 is suitable for small surveillance networks in homes, offices, shops, schools, hotels, supermarkets and other commercial environments.

6-Port Unmanaged Network Switch

The Dahua DH-PFS3006-4GT-60 features six Gigabit Ethernet ports in total. Ports 1–4 provide 10/100/1000 Mbps PoE connectivity, while Ports 5–6 provide 10/100/1000 Mbps uplink connectivity. This configuration allows the switch to connect PoE-powered devices such as IP cameras while using the remaining ports for network uplink.

Because it is an unmanaged switch, the device is designed for straightforward installation without requiring complicated network configuration. It can be useful for customers who need a simple plug-and-play PoE networking solution.

4 PoE Ports

The switch provides four PoE ports, allowing compatible PoE devices to receive both data and electrical power through the Ethernet cable.

Ports 1–4 support 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet connectivity with PoE. The total PoE power budget is up to 60W, while Port 1 supports Hi-PoE up to 60W and Ports 2–4 support up to 30W each, subject to the total power budget.

This makes the switch suitable for powering compatible IP cameras and other PoE network equipment without requiring separate power cables for each device.

Gigabit Ethernet Performance

All six ports support 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet connectivity. This Gigabit design provides higher network throughput than standard 10/100 Mbps switches and can be useful for IP surveillance systems that transmit high volumes of video data.

For CCTV applications, Gigabit connectivity can provide additional network capacity between connected cameras, the PoE switch and the wider network infrastructure.

60W PoE Power Budget

The Dahua DH-PFS3006-4GT-60 provides a total PoE power budget of up to 60W. Port 1 supports Hi-PoE up to 60W, while Ports 2–4 support up to 30W per port within the overall power budget.

The available power for connected devices should always be considered against the total PoE budget when multiple PoE devices are connected simultaneously.

Long-Distance PoE Transmission

One of the useful features of the DH-PFS3006-4GT-60 is its long-distance PoE capability. Dahua specifies transmission distances of up to 250 meters when the relevant long-distance mode is enabled. In this mode, transmission speed can be reduced to 10 Mbps.

This feature can be particularly useful for CCTV installations where an IP camera needs to be positioned significantly farther from the network equipment than the conventional Ethernet distance.

PoE Watchdog

The switch also supports PoE Watchdog. This feature can automatically detect certain connected PoE device issues and restart the affected device, helping reduce the need for manual intervention. Dahua describes the function as a way to reduce maintenance requirements and improve intelligent management.

For surveillance installations, this can be useful when cameras are installed in locations that are difficult to access physically.

Intelligent PoE

The Dahua DH-PFS3006-4GT-60 includes intelligent PoE power management. The switch is designed to manage power supplied to connected PoE devices while helping accommodate changes in device power consumption.

This makes it suitable for CCTV environments where several IP cameras may be powered from the same network switch.

8-Pin PoE Power Supply

The switch supports an 8-pin Ethernet PoE power assignment. Dahua states that this design helps improve compatibility between front-end and rear-end devices and can reduce cable loss while improving loading capacity.

This is useful for compatible PoE surveillance installations where reliable power delivery is important.

Metal Enclosure and Cooling

The DH-PFS3006-4GT-60 uses a solid metal enclosure. Its fanless design allows heat to dissipate through the surface of the enclosure without relying on a mechanical cooling fan.

The product is designed to operate in temperatures from -10°C to +55°C, making it suitable for a range of indoor networking environments.

Desktop and Wall-Mount Installation

The switch supports both desktop and wall-mount installation. This provides flexibility when installing the unit in a CCTV cabinet, office environment or other networking location.

Its compact form factor makes it convenient for smaller surveillance networks where a large rack-mounted switch is unnecessary.

Suitable Applications

The Dahua DH-PFS3006-4GT-60 can be used in various networking and CCTV environments, including:

• IP CCTV camera systems
• Homes
• Offices
• Retail stores
• Schools
• Hotels
• Supermarkets
• Small businesses
• Small surveillance networks
• PoE IP camera installations
• Long-distance CCTV deployments

Dahua specifically lists small-scale monitoring networks such as offices, schools, hotels, supermarkets and hospitals as application environments for this product family.
