The Techcom SSD-S-2407 is a 24-port Ethernet shelf switch with 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet ports, brand new and sealed, available now at Mascom International for KSh 5,250. It turns one router cable into 23 working wired connections for computers, printers, IP phones and CCTV recorders. Every port negotiates speed and cable type on its own, so there is no software to install and nothing to learn. The metal chassis sits flat on a cabinet shelf or desk. You can see the Techcom SSD-S-2407 at our store in Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, before you buy.

Built for small offices, cyber cafes, school computer labs and CCTV installers across Kenya, the Techcom SSD-S-2407 fixes a common problem. A Safaricom or Zuku fibre router usually offers four LAN sockets, and a growing office fills them within weeks. Reception, the accounts desk, two network printers and a DVR soon compete for space. One Techcom SSD-S-2407 gives each device its own port and gathers every cable in one tidy place. Cyber cafe operators serving eCitizen and KRA iTax customers can wire a full row of computers from a single uplink, with ports left over for expansion.

At KSh 5,250, the Techcom SSD-S-2407 works out to about KSh 219 per port, making it one of the most affordable 24-port switches Mascom International stocks. Where many Nairobi electronics shops sell unboxed switches with no paperwork, we hand over a sealed unit with a written warranty and a receipt. Buyers throughout Kenya tell us a switch like this is the simplest way to add wired points without calling a technician. Walk in to test it on a live network, or order on WhatsApp for pay-on-arrival delivery to any county.

Yes, the Techcom SSD-S-2407 is strong value for any office that needs many wired points for everyday work. KSh 5,250 across 24 ports comes to about KSh 219 per port. Each 100Mbps port comfortably handles cloud accounting, printing, email, video calls and M-Pesa till reconciliation. Because it is unmanaged, there is no licence, no login and no IT contract to pay for. The trade-off is copy speed between computers, since large video or backup files move faster on gigabit hardware.

Both are 24-port 10/100Mbps unmanaged switches, so everyday network speed is identical on either one. The Techcom SSD-S-2407 costs KSh 5,250 at Mascom International, while the TP-Link TL-SF1024D costs KSh 8,500. That KSh 3,250 difference buys TP-Link brand backing and a rackmount kit for closed server cabinets. If your switch will sit on a shelf, desk or open cabinet, the Techcom SSD-S-2407 does the same daily job for less. Choose the TP-Link only when bolting into a 19-inch rack matters.

No, the Techcom SSD-S-2407 is plug and play and starts working the moment it has power. Run one cable from any port to your router, then plug computers, printers and phones into the other 23 ports. Each device still receives its IP address from the router exactly as before. Auto MDI/MDIX accepts straight-through and crossover cables alike, so no special cable is needed. There is no web page, password or app, which also means staff cannot accidentally change a setting.

The Techcom SSD-S-2407 restarts by itself when electricity returns, with no settings to restore. It stores no configuration, so a sudden blackout has nothing to corrupt. Connected computers and printers rejoin the network within moments of power coming back. For offices that must stay online through outages, plug both the switch and the router into a UPS. A switch draws far less power than a desktop computer, so even a modest UPS from Mascom International keeps the network alive long enough to finish transactions.

Yes, the Techcom SSD-S-2407 can link IP cameras, an NVR and viewing computers on one wired network, but it does not power the cameras. There is no PoE on any port, so each camera needs its own adapter or a separate PoE injector. A single camera stream uses only a small share of a 100Mbps port, so recording and live viewing run smoothly. Installers who want cameras powered through the network cable should choose the D-Link DGS-F1210-18PS-E PoE switch at Mascom International instead.

No, for most small-business fibre packages in Kenya the Techcom SSD-S-2407 will not be the bottleneck. Each port runs at up to 100Mbps, so any package below that speed reaches every connected computer in full. Many small offices and cyber cafes pay for packages well under that ceiling. The switch only becomes the limit when one computer needs more than 100Mbps, or when staff copy big files between machines. In those cases, a gigabit switch lets each computer use the full line.

Put the Techcom SSD-S-2407 on a shelf or inside a ventilated network cabinet, away from direct sunlight and floor-level dust. In offices along Mombasa Road or in Industrial Area, where dust settles quickly, a closed cabinet keeps the ports clean. Leave some space around the casing so warm air can escape. Label each cable at both ends during installation, so a fault traces back to one desk in seconds. The front-facing ports make that labelling easy to read later.

Buy the Techcom SSD-S-2407 if you run a small office, cyber cafe, school lab, SACCO branch or shop with many wired devices and everyday internet use. It suits anyone who wants 24 ports on a tight budget without any setup. Skip it if your team moves large design, video or backup files between computers daily. They are better served by the D-Link DGS-F1024 gigabit switch at Mascom International, which runs ten times faster per port. Homes with five devices only need the D-Link DES-1008C.

The Techcom SSD-S-2407 leaves our store in sealed Techcom packaging, ready to go live the day it arrives:

Network cables are not part of the box, so count your devices and measure cable runs before you order. Our team can advise on patch cable lengths for each desk when you call or WhatsApp.
