The Tenda S106PC is a compact unmanaged Fast Ethernet (100 Mbps) PoE switch designed for small-scale deployments—especially video surveillance setups, small businesses, or locations where you need to power devices without separate adapters. It offers 6 RJ-45 ports in total: four ports are PoE capable (data + power), and two are data-only uplink ports. The switch supports both IEEE 802.3af and 802.3at PoE standards, making it compatible with many IP cameras, wireless access points, and other powered devices.
With a total PoE power budget of ≈ 55 W, the S106PC can deliver up to 30 W on individual PoE ports (depending on how many are in use), giving you flexibility in powering more demanding devices. The unit is built for convenience: plug-and-play operation with store-and-forward switching, a durable metal (or steel) body, and both desktop and wall-mounting options.
Additional features include long-reach PoE extension up to 250 meters, priority (QoS) for certain ports to ensure vital traffic (e.g., video feed) remains stable even when the network is under load, and 4 kV lightning protection to help safeguard against electrical surges. With typical power consumption under full load, the S106PC balances performance and protection.
Overall, this switch is a good choice when you need several PoE-powered devices in a space with modest data speed requirements, and you want simplicity rather than full network management.

✅ Why Buy This Product
Power + Data in One Device: It lets you run both power and Ethernet to cameras or WiFi points using just one cable, saving cost and simplifying installation.
Good Budget & Flexibility: With 55 W total budget and 30 W capability, you can support more power-hungry PoE devices or mix multiple lower-power PoE devices.
Simplified Setup: Unmanaged with auto-negotiation and plug-and-play, so minimal configuration needed—ideal for small teams, shops, or for quick deployment.
Better Protection & Range: Lightning protection and long-reach capability make it more durable and usable even in tougher environments or where cable runs exceed standard 100 m.
Optimized for Surveillance: QoS priority, PoE extension, and uplink ports make it well suited for security camera networks where video stability matters.
