D-Link DGS-F1010P-E is now in stock at Mascom International, priced at KSh 9,300 and supplied brand new and sealed. The D-Link DGS-F1010P-E gives you ten Gigabit ports, eight of them delivering IEEE 802.3af/at Power over Ethernet from a shared 96W budget. Two extra Gigabit uplinks connect your NVR, router, or another switch. Flip the Extend switch and ports 1 to 8 push power and data up to 250 metres over Cat5e or Cat6 cable. Collect one from Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, or order it for delivery.
Designed for CCTV installers, security firms, estate managers, and warehouse supervisors, the D-Link DGS-F1010P-E handles the hardest part of a camera job, which is getting power to the far corners. Normal Ethernet stops at 100 metres, and a gate camera beyond that point usually needs its own socket and adapter. With the D-Link DGS-F1010P-E, one cable run feeds both video and electricity, so there is no extra wiring on the perimeter wall. Gated homes in Karen and Runda, school compounds, and fuel stations get full coverage without an electrician for every pole.
Where most Nairobi electronics shops sell no-name PoE boxes with vague ratings, Mascom International stocks the genuine D-Link DGS-F1010P-E with published specifications you can plan around. The 96W budget works out to about 12W per port when all eight run together. The 6KV surge protection guards the ports against spikes on long outdoor cable runs. Installers who buy from us report tidier cabinets, shorter installation days, and fewer site revisits after the job is handed over. At roughly KSh 1,163 per powered port, the D-Link DGS-F1010P-E costs less than separate injectors. Order it today for pay-on-arrival delivery.
Common Questions About the D-Link DGS-F1010P-E
Is the D-Link DGS-F1010P-E worth KSh 9,300 for a CCTV installation?
Yes, the D-Link DGS-F1010P-E replaces eight separate camera power adapters and a plain switch for KSh 9,300. That works out to about KSh 1,163 per powered port. You also save on sockets, extension boards, and electrician time at every camera point. Gigabit ports mean even high-resolution streams move to the recorder without delay. For a typical home, school, or shop with up to eight cameras, it is the simplest complete power and data solution Mascom International stocks at this price.
How far can the D-Link DGS-F1010P-E send power and video over one cable?
The D-Link DGS-F1010P-E reaches up to 250 metres on ports 1 to 8 when you switch on Extend mode. Standard Ethernet stops at 100 metres, so this is two and a half times the normal distance. Use good Cat5e or Cat6 cable, because thin copper-clad cable loses power over long runs. Extend mode lowers the link speed to reach that far, which still suits a camera stream. Keep Extend off for short runs so every port works at full Gigabit speed.
How many IP cameras can the D-Link DGS-F1010P-E power at once?
The D-Link DGS-F1010P-E powers up to eight IP cameras, one on each PoE port, from a 96W total budget. Shared evenly, that gives each port about 12W, which covers most fixed dome and bullet cameras. PTZ cameras with motors and heaters draw more, so count their ratings before connecting several at once. Add up the wattage on each camera's label and keep the total under 96W. Our team at Mascom International will check your camera list on WhatsApp before you buy.
D-Link DGS-F1010P-E vs D-Link DES-F1010P-E, which should you choose?
Choose the D-Link DGS-F1010P-E if you want Gigabit speed on every port, and the DES-F1010P-E only if 100Mbps is enough. Both carry the same long-range PoE idea and eight powered ports. Gigabit matters when you run 4K or 8MP cameras, many streams together, or plan to add access points later. It also gives your recorder faster uplinks for remote viewing. For a new installation, the Gigabit D-Link DGS-F1010P-E is the safer choice for the next few years of camera upgrades.
What do the DIP switches on the D-Link DGS-F1010P-E do?
The D-Link DGS-F1010P-E has four small DIP switches on the front that select Extend, VLAN, QoS, and PoE modes. Extend mode stretches ports 1 to 8 to 250 metres. VLAN mode isolates ports 1 to 8 from each other while each still talks to the uplinks, which blocks camera-to-camera traffic and broadcast noise. QoS mode gives priority to selected traffic so live video stays smooth on a busy network. Set them once during installation, and no software or login is ever needed.
How does the D-Link DGS-F1010P-E cope with power cuts and surges in Kenya?
The D-Link DGS-F1010P-E has 6KV surge protection on its ports, which helps against spikes on long outdoor cables. Power cuts are a different problem, because every camera it feeds switches off with it. Plug the switch and your NVR into a UPS, and the whole camera system keeps recording through a KPLC outage. That single step protects evidence at the moment many break-ins happen. Mascom International stocks UPS units sized for a switch, recorder, and eight cameras.
Will the D-Link DGS-F1010P-E work with Hikvision and Dahua cameras?
Yes, the D-Link DGS-F1010P-E powers any IP camera that follows the IEEE 802.3af or 802.3at standard, which includes most Hikvision, Dahua, Uniview, and Imou PoE models. Check the camera box or datasheet for 802.3af or 802.3at before connecting. Cheap cameras using passive 12V or 24V power over the cable are not compatible. Analogue HD cameras on coaxial cable also need a DVR rather than a PoE switch. Send us your camera model numbers and we will confirm compatibility first.
Who should buy the D-Link DGS-F1010P-E, and who should skip it?
Buy the D-Link DGS-F1010P-E if you run up to eight PoE cameras, access points, or IP phones, especially over long cable runs. It suits homes, schools, petrol stations, farms, and small warehouses. Skip it if you need more than eight powered ports; the 16-port D-Link DGSF1210-18PS-E long-range switch handles larger sites. Skip it too if you only connect office computers and printers, because the D-Link DGS-F1016 gives more ports without PoE. Mascom International stocks both, so ask before you buy.
Technical Specifications
Port Layout and Speeds
- Ten 10/100/1000Mbps RJ45 ports give every connected camera, recorder, and uplink full Gigabit speed on short runs.
- Ports 1 to 8 supply Power over Ethernet, so each camera needs only one cable back to the switch.
- Ports 9 and 10 are Gigabit uplinks for your NVR, router, or a second switch in the building.
- Auto MDI/MDIX on every port accepts straight or crossover cable, which removes a common wiring mistake.
- Auto-negotiation matches each port to the fastest speed the connected device supports, with no settings to change.
- Link and activity lights on the front panel show at a glance which camera has dropped off.
Power over Ethernet Delivery
- IEEE 802.3af and 802.3at support covers standard PoE and PoE+ devices from all major camera brands.
- The 96W total budget spread across eight ports averages about 12W each, enough for most fixed cameras.
- The 802.3at standard allows up to 30W on a single port for heavier devices such as PTZ cameras.
- Power flows only to devices that request it, so laptops and non-PoE equipment on ports 1 to 8 stay safe.
- Wi-Fi access points and IP desk phones draw power from the same ports, cutting adapter clutter in offices.
- One cable per device means no power socket is needed on a gate pole, roof edge, or corridor ceiling.
Long Range Extend Mode and DIP Settings
- Extend mode pushes power and data up to 250 metres on ports 1 to 8 using Cat5e or Cat6 cable.
- That reach is two and a half times the standard 100-metre Ethernet limit, covering large compounds without repeaters.
- Link speed drops in Extend mode to hold a stable signal, which still carries a normal camera stream.
- VLAN mode isolates ports 1 to 8 from each other while they still reach the uplinks and recorder.
- Port isolation stops one compromised camera from reaching the others, a sensible security step on any site.
- QoS mode prioritises time-sensitive traffic so live video stays smooth when the network is busy.
Switching Performance
- Switching capacity of 20Gbps lets all ten ports run at full Gigabit speed in both directions at once.
- Forwarding rate of 1,488,000 packets per second per Gigabit port prevents dropped frames during heavy recording.
- Non-blocking design means eight cameras streaming together never slow the uplink to your recorder.
- Gigabit uplinks give remote viewers on phones and laptops faster playback when pulling footage from the NVR.
- Plug-and-play operation needs no IP address, password, or management software to start working.
Protection and Power Supply
- 6KV surge protection shields the ports from spikes picked up on long outdoor cable runs.
- An external 52V 1.85A power adapter accepts 100 to 240V input, handling unstable mains supply in many towns.
- Running the switch from a UPS keeps every connected camera recording through a power cut.
- Fanless cooling means no fan to clog with dust or fail, a common weak point in cheap PoE boxes.
- Operating range of 0 to 40°C suits indoor cabinets across most of Kenya's climate zones.
Build and Installation
- Compact body measures 184 x 94 x 27mm, small enough for a shallow wall cabinet or shelf.
- Weight of 0.95kg keeps it steady on a shelf while light enough to fix inside a small enclosure.
- Silent fanless operation suits bedrooms, offices, and reception areas where a recorder cabinet sits nearby.
- Front-facing ports and DIP switches make installation and later changes quick for any technician.
- Clear port labels separate the PoE ports from the uplinks, reducing wiring errors on busy job sites.
