Tenda S106PC 6-Port 100M Lite PoE Switch with 4-Port PoE 55W 250m Extension Black

The Tenda S106PC is a 6-port 100M Lite PoE switch purpose-built for small-scale video surveillance networks and business connectivity needs. Independently designed by Tenda, this unmanaged switch features 4 Power over Ethernet ports and 2 uplink ports, delivering reliable power and data transmission for IP cameras, wireless access points, and other network devices. With a total PoE budget of 55W and support for IEEE 802.3af/at standards, the S106PC provides up to 30W per port – sufficient for powering PTZ cameras, outdoor access points, and high-power devices. The extended mode feature allows PoE transmission distances up to 250 metres, making it ideal for large properties, warehouses, and perimeter surveillance applications. Its compact metal housing, plug-and-play design, and advanced features like one-key VLAN and QoS priority make it the perfect backbone for small enterprise, convenience store, and restaurant video surveillance networks.

6-Port Configuration with 4 PoE+ Ports

The S106PC features a total of 6 Ethernet ports optimized for surveillance and network expansion:

• 4 Fast Ethernet PoE Ports (10/100Mbps): Dedicated ports for IP cameras, VoIP phones, and wireless access points. These ports deliver both data and power over a single Ethernet cable, dramatically simplifying installation by eliminating the need for separate power outlets at each device location.
• 2 Uplink Ports (10/100Mbps): Dual uplink ports can be connected to NVR and router simultaneously, enabling both local monitoring and cloud monitoring at the same time.
• Switching Capacity: 1.2 Gbps non-blocking wire-speed forwarding backplane bandwidth ensures smooth data transmission across all ports.
• Packet Forwarding Rate: 0.89 Mpps with store-and-forward architecture eliminates bottlenecks even when all ports are operating at maximum capacity.
• MAC Address Table: 1K entries with auto-learning capability.

Power over Ethernet – 55W Total Budget with 30W Per Port

The S106PC supports both IEEE 802.3af (PoE) and IEEE 802.3at (PoE+) standards, providing flexible power delivery for a wide range of powered devices. Key PoE features include:

• Total PoE Budget: 55W across all 4 PoE ports, sufficient for powering multiple high-resolution cameras, PTZ domes, or outdoor access points simultaneously.
• Maximum Power Per Port: Up to 30W per port when using PoE+ (802.3at), suitable for high-power devices such as motorized PTZ cameras, outdoor access points with heaters, and video phones.
• Intelligent Device Detection: Automatically identifies compatible powered devices and delivers appropriate power levels, preventing damage to non-PoE equipment. Simply connect your devices and the switch handles the rest.
• PoE Power Management: Smart power allocation ensures that available power is distributed efficiently across connected devices, prioritizing critical equipment when approaching the total budget limit.

Extended Mode – PoE Transmission Up to 250 Metres

One of the most valuable features of the S106PC is its Extended Mode, which pushes the boundaries of standard Ethernet cabling. When enabled via DIP switch:

• Extended Distance: Supports PoE power and data transmission up to 250 metres – 2.5 times the standard 100-metre limit.
• Ideal Applications: Perfect for monitoring large perimeters, long driveways, warehouses, parking lots, and remote areas where running power to cameras would be impractical or costly.
• Reduced Infrastructure: Eliminates the need for intermediate switches or extenders, saving on equipment costs and installation complexity.
• Simple Activation: Extended Mode is enabled via a DIP switch on the device – no complex software setup required.

Note that when Extended Mode is enabled, port speeds are optimized to achieve the longer transmission distance – still sufficient for most surveillance applications.

One-Key VLAN and QoS Priority

The S106PC includes advanced features typically found only in managed switches, accessible via simple DIP switch configuration. These features provide enhanced network control without the complexity of managed switch configuration:

• One-Key VLAN (Port Isolation): When enabled, this feature isolates ports 1-8 from communicating with each other while maintaining connectivity to the uplink ports. This is particularly valuable for surveillance deployments because:
  • Prevents broadcast storms that can degrade video quality
  • Enhances network security by isolating camera traffic
  • Eliminates unnecessary traffic between cameras
  • Ensures all camera traffic is directed to the NVR connected to the uplink port
• QoS Priority (Ports 1-2): When enabled, ports 1-2 are designated as high-priority ports. This feature prioritizes video and voice traffic to ensure smooth, uninterrupted streaming and clear communication. Benefits include:
  • Prioritizes real-time applications like video surveillance and VoIP calls
  • Reduces latency and jitter for time-sensitive data
  • Ensures critical traffic (such as cash register surveillance) receives bandwidth priority during network congestion
  • Essential for maintaining video quality in multi-camera installations

These features can be enabled or disabled independently with simple DIP switch toggles, providing deployment flexibility without requiring technical networking expertise.

Technical Specifications

Plug-and-Play Installation

The S106PC is designed for effortless deployment with zero configuration required:

• Auto-Negotiation: Automatically detects and configures optimal speed and duplex settings for each connected device.
• Auto MDI/MDIX: Eliminates the need for crossover cables by automatically detecting cable type and adjusting accordingly.
• DIP Switch Configuration: Enable advanced features like VLAN and QoS with a simple toggle – no technical expertise required.
• LED Status Indicators: Clear visual feedback for power, PoE status, and link/activity on each port simplifies troubleshooting.

Compact and Durable Design

The S106PC features a robust black metal housing that provides excellent durability and heat dissipation for reliable 24/7 operation. Its compact dimensions allow for flexible placement options:

• Desktop Use: Small footprint fits easily on desks or shelves.
• Wall Mountable: Keyhole slots enable secure wall mounting for permanent installations.
• Fanless Design: Silent operation makes it perfect for noise-sensitive environments like offices, conference rooms, and recording studios.
• Metal Enclosure: Provides better heat dissipation and physical protection compared to plastic switches.
