The Dahua CS4010-8ET-60 is now available at Mascom International for KSh 7,000, ready for pickup at our Nairobi CBD store on the First Floor of Old Mutual Building, Room 4, Kimathi Street. This 10-port cloud managed switch carries 8 PoE ports rated at 10/100 Mbps plus 2 Gigabit uplink ports, with a 60W total power budget across the eight powered ports. Switching capacity reaches 4.8 Gbps, and the unit ships new and sealed with its external 53V power adapter. The Dahua CS4010-8ET-60 sits in a fully enclosed metal case built for everyday network duty.
This switch suits CCTV installers, small office IT staff, retail shop owners, and security system technicians across Kenya. The Dahua CS4010-8ET-60 powers IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones through a single Ethernet cable per device, removing the need for a separate power socket beside each camera. For a shop running four to eight cameras, or a guard house feeding gate cameras and an intercom, one cable per device cuts the wiring clutter and the cost of extra electricians. The 60W budget leaves headroom for typical 7W IP cameras.
Unlike standard unmanaged switches sold by many Kenya electronics retailers, the Dahua CS4010-8ET-60 adds remote cloud control through the DoLynk app, so you reboot a frozen camera from your phone without driving to site. Installers across Nairobi tell us this single feature saves repeat callouts. Visit Mascom International to test the Dahua CS4010-8ET-60 before purchase, or order for pay-on-arrival delivery to any of Kenya's 47 counties through our Nairobi CBD team.
Common Questions About the Dahua CS4010-8ET-60 switch
What does the Dahua CS4010-8ET-60 switch actually do?
The Dahua CS4010-8ET-60 is a 10-port managed PoE switch that supplies both data and electrical power over one network cable. Eight ports carry 10/100 Mbps data plus PoE for cameras and access points, while two Gigabit uplink ports connect to your router or recorder. A 60W total power budget feeds the eight powered ports. This setup lets a small office or CCTV site link every camera, phone, and access point back to one compact desktop box without separate power supplies.
How many cameras can the 60W budget power?
The 60W total budget comfortably runs eight standard IP cameras drawing around 7W each, which adds up to roughly 56W with headroom to spare. Port 1 alone can supply up to 60W for one high-draw device like a PTZ camera, while ports 2 through 8 each deliver up to 30W. For most shops, guard houses, and small offices in Kenya, eight fixed-lens cameras fit well within this budget. Higher-wattage cameras reduce the count, so plan around your specific models.
What is the cloud management on the Dahua CS4010-8ET-60?
The Dahua CS4010-8ET-60 connects to the DoLynk app for remote monitoring over mobile data, so you check live power draw, traffic, and port status from anywhere in Kenya. No static IP is required. You can reboot a stuck camera, switch a port off after hours, or get an alert when power exceeds the set limit, all from your phone. A local web interface handles the same controls on site. This cuts repeat visits for installers covering Nairobi, Nakuru, and Mombasa sites.
Does the Dahua CS4010-8ET-60 work with cameras from other brands?
Yes. The Dahua CS4010-8ET-60 supports the IEEE 802.3af, 802.3at, and Hi-PoE standards, so it powers any compliant device regardless of brand. It works with Dahua, Hikvision, Ubiquiti, and other standard 802.3af/at cameras, access points, and IP phones. The two Gigabit uplink ports connect to any standard router or network video recorder. This open compatibility means you are not locked into one camera maker, which matters for mixed installations common across Kenyan retail and office sites.
How far can the Dahua CS4010-8ET-60 send PoE power?
The Dahua CS4010-8ET-60 includes a long-distance PoE mode reaching up to 250 metres on a single cable run, toggled through a front DIP switch. Standard Ethernet tops out near 100 metres, so this extended mode reaches gate cameras, perimeter points, or far corners of a compound without a repeater or extra switch. The trade-off is reduced speed on those long runs, which suits cameras and sensors that send modest data. This helps installations across larger plots in Karen, Runda, and rural compounds.
What is PoE Watchdog and why does it matter?
PoE Watchdog automatically restarts a connected device that stops responding, without anyone touching the switch. CCTV cameras occasionally freeze, and a manual power-cycle usually fixes them. The Watchdog feature detects an unresponsive device and cuts then restores power to that port on its own. For unmanned sites like guard houses, remote shops, or weekend-closed offices, this keeps cameras recording without an emergency callout. It is one reason small security firms in Kenya pick managed switches over basic unpowered models.
Is the Dahua CS4010-8ET-60 worth KSh 7,000 in Kenya's market?
At KSh 7,000, the Dahua CS4010-8ET-60 lands well below the price of separate camera power supplies plus a basic switch, while adding cloud control and PoE recovery features those cheaper setups lack. One box replaces a switch, eight power adapters, and the extra cabling, which lowers the total install bill. For a CCTV business doing several jobs a month, the remote reboot feature alone saves fuel and labour on return trips. Buyers across Kenya report it pays back quickly on small to mid-size sites.
How does the Dahua CS4010-8ET-60 handle Kenya's power and dust?
The Dahua CS4010-8ET-60 sits in a fully enclosed, dust-proof metal case rated for operating temperatures from -10°C to +55°C, covering coastal Mombasa heat and cooler highland sites. It draws under 3W when idle and up to 65W at full load, so running costs stay low. The metal body resists the dust common in retail backrooms, dukas, and gate houses. Loop protection guards against accidental cable loops that crash a network, a frequent issue on quickly wired sites.
