CUDY GS1010PE 10-Port Gigabit PoE+ Switch | 8 PoE+ Ports, 120W Budget, 20Gbps Switching, Fanless Metal Body
Plug-and-play networking for IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones across Kenyan homes, shops, and small offices
Condition: New

The CUDY GS1010PE 10-Port Gigabit PoE+ Switch is now available at Mascom International for KSh 10,000, ready for pickup at our Nairobi CBD store. This networking switch carries eight Gigabit PoE+ ports plus two Gigabit uplink ports, a 120W total power supply, 20Gbps switching capacity, and a fanless metal body. Each PoE port sends both data and electricity down a single Ethernet cable at up to 30W, following IEEE 802.3af and 802.3at standards. Mascom International stocks the CUDY GS1010PE at Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, giving Kenyan buyers a tested unit at a fair price.
The CUDY GS1010PE is built for CCTV installers, small business owners, and network technicians across Kenya who need to run IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones without separate power sockets at each device. Many shops in Nairobi CBD and estates in Kasarani, Rongai, and Kikuyu want eight-camera security setups, yet pulling a power line to every camera on a wall or ceiling is slow and costly. The GS1010PE solves this by carrying power through the same network cable, so one AC socket runs the whole system. This cuts installation time and removes the tangle of adapters behind the counter.
At Mascom International, we're seeing steady demand from security firms and cyber businesses fitting out new premises. Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya that sell networking gear without support, Mascom International tests each CUDY GS1010PE before handover and explains setup at the counter. Buyers throughout Kenya tell us the plug-and-play design saves a technician visit. Order the CUDY GS1010PE by phone, WhatsApp, or through our website, or walk into our Kimathi Street shop to see it working before you pay.
Common Questions About the CUDY GS1010PE
What is the CUDY GS1010PE 10-Port Gigabit PoE+ Switch used for?
The CUDY GS1010PE connects and powers up to eight devices over Ethernet cable, plus two extra ports for internet uplink. It is made for IP security cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP desk phones that need both a network link and power. Instead of plugging each camera into a wall socket, the switch feeds electricity through the network cable itself. Small offices, retail shops, cyber cafes, and homes across Kenya use it to build a tidy wired network from one power point, with a router or NVR connected to the uplink ports.
How many devices can the GS1010PE power over Ethernet?
The GS1010PE powers up to eight PoE devices at once, using its eight dedicated PoE+ ports numbered one through eight. The switch shares a 120W total power supply across these ports, and each port can push up to 30W to a single device. Most IP cameras draw 4 to 7 watts, so a full eight-camera setup fits comfortably inside the budget. Heavier devices like dual-band wireless access points draw 15 to 25 watts, meaning you can still run several APs together. The two uplink ports carry data only and do not supply power.
Is the CUDY GS1010PE switch good for CCTV and IP cameras in Kenya?
Yes, the CUDY GS1010PE is well suited to CCTV work, which is its most common use in Kenya. Security installers fitting shops along Moi Avenue, homes in Runda and Karen, or godowns in Industrial Area use it to run eight cameras from one switch. The PoE+ ports match the IEEE 802.3at standard that most IP cameras and NVR brands expect. Because power travels through the network cable, cameras can sit on high walls or ceilings far from any socket. Connect the NVR or router to an uplink port and the footage flows to your recorder.
Does the GS1010PE need configuration or is it plug-and-play?
The GS1010PE works straight out of the box with no login, app, or setup screen. Plug in the power cord, connect your cameras or access points to ports one through eight, link your router or NVR to an uplink port, and the network runs. This unmanaged design suits users who want a working system without IT knowledge. For those who need extra control, three physical DIP switch modes on the body change how ports behave. You never open a web page or type an IP address, which is why installers finish jobs faster.
What is the difference between VLAN, Default, and Extend modes?
The GS1010PE offers three modes chosen by a small DIP switch on the casing. Default mode lets every port talk to every other port, the normal setting for most networks. VLAN mode isolates ports one through eight from each other so each camera or device only reaches the uplink, which blocks one hacked camera from reaching the rest. Extend mode stretches the reach of ports seven and eight to 250 metres by dropping their speed to 10Mbps, useful for a far gate camera. A watchdog also reboots frozen devices automatically.
How far can the GS1010PE send power and data over one cable?
The GS1010PE reaches 100 metres at full Gigabit speed using Cat 5e or better cable, matching the standard Ethernet limit. When you flip ports seven and eight into Extend mode, those two ports stretch to 250 metres, though speed drops to 10Mbps to hold the signal steady. This longer reach helps Kenyan installers cover a distant perimeter camera, a gate, or an outbuilding without adding a repeater. For most indoor and compound runs, the standard 100-metre limit already covers the full building comfortably.
Does the CUDY GS1010PE make noise or need a fan?
No, the CUDY GS1010PE runs silently because it has no fan. The metal casing spreads heat on its own, a design called fanless cooling, so the switch stays quiet on a reception desk, in a shop, or inside a home cabinet. This also removes the fan as a part that can fail or clog with dust, which matters in dusty Kenyan environments along Thika Road or in upcountry towns. The switch runs on standard 100 to 240 volt mains through a three-prong plug, matching Kenyan wall sockets and handling normal voltage swings.
Is the CUDY GS1010PE worth KSh 10,000 in Kenya's market?
At KSh 10,000, the CUDY GS1010PE gives eight PoE+ ports and a 120W supply for less than many single-brand rivals charge. A separate PoE injector for each of eight cameras would cost far more and clutter the wiring. Users consistently report that one switch replaces a shelf of adapters and cuts labour on a job. For a shop owner, cyber business, or homeowner building an eight-camera system, the price covers both the network and the power in one metal box. Mascom International backs it with a store warranty and setup help.
