The Vi3003 is a 3-port Layer 2 Ethernet and PoE switch providing drop and insert capability for connecting several IP devices over a single cable run. The Vi3003 provides a cost-effective method for increasing distances beyond the standard Ethernet limit of 328 feet (100m). Multiple units can be cascaded to provide up to nine IP cameras to be connected to a single network switch port over distances of up to 2,952 feet (900m).

For small systems, Vi3003's Layer 2 network capability can eliminate the need for network switches, saving costs and rack space. It also can significantly decrease network switch costs by increasing the capacity of a 24-port switch to handle up to 216 cameras. As a mini-network switch, the Vi3003 avoids the potential for transmission collisions by complying with IEEE standards. Its ability to automatically sense the data rate up to 1,000Mbps (1Gbps) also makes it the perfect solution for cost-effectively extending the network to network communications or between network switches requiring high speeds transmission.

The Vi3003 can be powered by PoE eliminating the need for external power or a local power supply. Additional power up to 60W can be added at any point along the cable run where power outlets are available to provide the ability to power PoE IP cameras. Hardened wide range operating temperature of -40°C to +75°C makes the Vi3003 a perfect solution for harsh environments.
