Cudy GS1005PTS1 | 4 Gigabit PoE Ports Plus 1 Uplink | 120W PoE Budget | 1 SFP Slot
Runs four IP cameras or Wi-Fi units from one compact metal box, with a fibre option for a distant building.
Condition: New
Note: price and availability are subject to change without prior notice
The Cudy GS1005PTS1 is in stock at Mascom International, priced at KSh 6,500, brand new and sealed. This unmanaged switch gives you four gigabit PoE ports, one gigabit uplink port and a 1.25G SFP slot for fibre, all sharing a 120W PoE budget. Port 1 can push up to 60W for a demanding device such as a PTZ camera, while ports 2 to 4 supply up to 30W each. The power supply sits inside the metal case, so there is no external brick to lose. You can collect the Cudy GS1005PTS1 from our shop on Kimathi Street in Nairobi CBD or order it for delivery.
Built for CCTV installers, small business owners and IT support staff across Kenya, the Cudy GS1005PTS1 solves a common headache: running a separate power socket to every camera, access point or VoIP desk phone. With PoE, one Ethernet cable carries both data and power, so a shop in Eastleigh can mount cameras under the awning without an electrician. A SACCO branch office can power four desk phones from a single wall socket. Put the Cudy GS1005PTS1 on a UPS and KPLC power cuts no longer black out your cameras, because every powered device rides on that one backed-up supply.
Where most Nairobi electronics shops sell PoE switches without explaining the power maths, Mascom International helps you check that your cameras fit within the 120W budget before you pay. At Mascom International, we're seeing installers choose the Cudy GS1005PTS1 for four-camera jobs because the SFP slot lets them reach a gate house or second building over fibre later. Customers across Nairobi tell us the built-in power supply makes mounting inside a wall cabinet much tidier. Walk in to see it, or order on WhatsApp and pay when the switch arrives at your door.
Common Questions About the Cudy GS1005PTS1
How much is the Cudy GS1005PTS1 PoE switch in Kenya?
The Cudy GS1005PTS1 costs KSh 6,500 in its sealed retail box at Mascom International on Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD. That price includes the built-in power supply, the power cord and a 12-month warranty, with pay-on-arrival delivery to all 47 counties. Spread across its four PoE ports, you pay about KSh 1,625 per powered port. If you need many more powered ports, the Cudy GS1018PS2 costs KSh 11,000 more and gives you sixteen.
Can the Cudy GS1005PTS1 power a PTZ camera that needs more than 30 watts?
Yes, port 1 on the Cudy GS1005PTS1 delivers up to 60W, enough for most PTZ cameras with heaters or long zoom motors. Ports 2 to 4 supply up to 30W each under the IEEE 802.3at standard, which covers fixed IP cameras, Wi-Fi access points and VoIP phones. The whole switch shares a 120W budget, so one 60W camera leaves 60W for the other three ports. Check each device's rated draw on its label before you plug in.
Should I buy the Cudy GS1005PTS1 or a Cudy POE200 injector?
The Cudy GS1005PTS1 powers four devices from one box, while the Cudy POE200 is a single-port PoE injector that powers one device. At KSh 3,000, the POE200 suits a home with one access point or one camera. From three powered devices upward, the GS1005PTS1 at KSh 6,500 costs less than three injectors at KSh 9,000 and needs one wall socket instead of three. It also adds an SFP fibre slot and a dedicated uplink port, which an injector cannot offer.
Will the Cudy GS1005PTS1 keep my CCTV running during KPLC power cuts?
The Cudy GS1005PTS1 keeps cameras running through KPLC power cuts when you plug it into a UPS, because every camera draws its power through the switch. Without a UPS, the switch and all four cameras go dark together the moment the grid drops. Size the UPS for the switch, your cameras' combined draw and your NVR if it sits beside it. Cudy rates the switch itself at about 5W without PoE loads, so most UPS capacity goes to the cameras.
How far can I run cable from the Cudy GS1005PTS1 to a camera at the gate?
Standard Ethernet reaches 100 metres, but Extend Mode on ports 3 and 4 of the Cudy GS1005PTS1 stretches PoE and data to 250 metres at 10 Mbps. That slower speed still carries a typical IP camera stream, which helps on large compounds in Karen or long warehouse rows in Industrial Area. For distances beyond that, use the SFP slot with a fibre module and a media converter at the far end. Fibre modules are sold separately.
What does the watchdog button on the Cudy GS1005PTS1 do?
The watchdog on the Cudy GS1005PTS1 cuts and restores power to a PoE device that stops responding for five minutes. IP cameras and access points occasionally freeze, and the watchdog reboots them without anyone climbing a ladder. That matters for traders in Gikomba or Eastleigh who are not on site at night but still want recordings. A button on the switch turns the feature on or off, so you can disable it for devices that go quiet on purpose.
Do I need to configure the Cudy GS1005PTS1 before use?
No, the Cudy GS1005PTS1 is an unmanaged switch, so it works as soon as you connect power and cables. There is no app, login or web page to set up. Connect your router or NVR to the uplink port, plug cameras or phones into ports 1 to 4, and power reaches each device automatically. VLAN Mode isolates ports 1 to 4 from each other while each still reaches the uplink, which keeps cameras from seeing one another's traffic.
Who should buy the Cudy GS1005PTS1, and who should skip it?
Buy the Cudy GS1005PTS1 if you run up to four PoE devices: a small CCTV kit, two Cudy AP1300 access points with two desk phones, or a clinic reception desk. Skip it if your devices all have their own power adapters, because the Cudy GS108 at KSh 3,000 gives eight gigabit ports without PoE. Skip it too if you plan more than four cameras; the Cudy GS1018PS2 or Cudy GS1026PS2 handle bigger sites from a rack.
Technical Specifications
Core Function and Switching
- Five gigabit RJ45 ports in total — four supply PoE and one serves as a non-PoE uplink to your router or NVR.
- One 1.25G SFP slot — accepts a fibre module, so you can link a second building or gate house far beyond copper range.
- 12.5 Gbps switching capacity — every port can send and receive at full gigabit speed at once without slowing the others.
- 8.929 Mpps forwarding rate — the number of data packets moved each second, ample for camera streams and office traffic.
- 2,048-entry MAC address table — the switch remembers up to that many connected devices, far more than a small network needs.
- 16 KB jumbo frame support — larger data packets cut overhead when copying big video files to a network recorder.
PoE Power Delivery
- 120W total PoE budget — the combined power all four PoE ports share; plan your device list against this figure.
- Port 1 delivers up to 60W — enough for PTZ cameras, outdoor access points with heaters, or similar high-draw devices.
- Ports 2 to 4 deliver up to 30W each — covers IEEE 802.3at devices such as fixed IP cameras and Wi-Fi access points.
- IEEE 802.3af and 802.3at standards — works with any standards-based PoE camera, phone or access point, whatever the brand.
- Standard PoE detection — devices that do not accept PoE, like laptops, receive data only, so no stray power reaches them.
- Watchdog auto-reboot — restarts power to a PoE device that goes silent for five minutes, with an on/off button.
Compatibility and Operating Modes
- Extend Mode on ports 3 and 4 — carries data and power up to 250 metres at 10 Mbps, well past the usual 100 metres.
- VLAN Mode on ports 1 to 4 — isolates the PoE ports from each other so each device talks only to the uplink.
- Unmanaged plug-and-play operation — no software, login or IP address to set; connect the cables and it starts working.
- Works with any router or NVR — standard gigabit Ethernet means any brand of IP camera or recorder connects directly.
- Desktop or wall placement — Cudy supports both, so it fits on a shelf or inside a small wall cabinet.
Build, Cooling and Mounting
- SPCC steel casing — a cold-rolled steel shell that resists knocks and helps draw heat away from the internal parts.
- Built-in 120W power supply — no external adapter brick, just a standard power cord to the wall socket or UPS.
- 200 x 118 x 44 mm footprint — small enough for a shelf, the top of an NVR or a compact wall cabinet.
- Quiet cooling design — Cudy describes a silent cooling system, so it suits reception desks and offices where noise matters.
- About 5W own consumption without PoE loads — the switch itself sips power, leaving most UPS capacity for your cameras.
Inclusions and Setup
- Power cord included — connects the internal supply directly to a wall socket, extension board or UPS output.
- Printed installation guide — explains the port roles, Extend Mode and VLAN Mode in short, plain steps.
- No SFP module included — buy a fibre module that matches your cable type once you need the fibre link.
- No Ethernet cables included — plan one patch or outdoor-rated cable per device, plus one more for the uplink.
- Ready out of the box — power on, connect the uplink and devices, and PoE reaches them within moments.
