Network switch DAHUA DH-PFS3008-8GT-96 Unmanaged 8-port 1Gbps

DAHUA DH-PFS3008-8GT-96 is an unmanaged 8-port gigabit Ethernet switch designed for simple, reliable wired connectivity in small networks. With eight 1 Gbps RJ45 ports, the device provides plug-and-play operation without user configuration, making it suitable for deployments that require stable Layer 2 switching and consistent throughput. The switch is intended for use in CCTV installations, small office networks and home setups where straightforward, uninterrupted Ethernet connections are needed.

Advantages

The switch offers eight dedicated gigabit ports for full-speed wired connections and supports auto-negotiation and auto-MDI/MDIX to simplify cabling and device compatibility. As an unmanaged device it requires no configuration, reducing setup time and the need for advanced network knowledge. Compact form factor and low power consumption contribute to easy deployment in restricted spaces while maintaining reliable data forwarding and basic switching functions.

Suitable for

• Small CCTV and IP camera systems
• Small office Ethernet networks
• Home networks requiring wired connections for NAS, PCs or media devices
• Edge deployments where plug-and-play operation is preferred

Key specifications

• Number of ports: 8 x 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ45 ports
• Operating mode: Unmanaged, Layer 2 switching
• Switching capacity: Gigabit per port throughput with store-and-forward forwarding
• Auto features: Auto-negotiation and auto MDI/MDIX on RJ45 ports
• Power: External power supply with typical low power consumption
• Form factor: Compact desktop or wall-mount capable metal/plastic enclosure
• Operating environment: Designed for indoor use within standard temperature and humidity ranges

How to use

Install the switch on a stable surface or mount it according to available mounting options. Connect each Ethernet device to an RJ45 port using Cat5e or better cabling. Plug the external power adapter into a suitable AC outlet and verify that the status LEDs indicate link/activity on connected ports. No software configuration is required; connected devices will obtain network connectivity through standard IP settings or DHCP provided by the existing network. For CCTV systems, connect IP cameras to the switch ports and ensure the recording device or network video recorder is connected to one of the remaining ports or to the upstream network.

Usage recommendations

Place the switch in a ventilated indoor location away from direct heat sources. Use quality shielded or unshielded Ethernet cables (Cat5e/Cat6) for reliable gigabit links and keep cable runs within recommended length limits. For critical surveillance or business deployments, ensure an appropriate backup power solution is in place to maintain network uptime during power interruptions.
