Feeds electricity and video through one cable to each camera, with remote control from your phone.
Condition: New

The Dahua CS4006-4ET2GT-36 is available at Mascom International for KSh 3,500, brand new and sealed. This 6-port desktop switch carries four 10/100 Mbps PoE ports and two Gigabit uplink ports, with a total PoE budget of 36W. PoE, short for Power over Ethernet, sends electricity and data down one network cable, so each camera needs no separate power socket. The Dahua CS4006-4ET2GT-36 also works with Dahua's DoLynk Care app for remote checks. You can inspect it at our store in the Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD.
Built for homeowners, small shop owners and CCTV installers across Kenya, the Dahua CS4006-4ET2GT-36 solves a common headache: running a power cable to every camera. A four-camera job at a Kilimani home or an Eldoret hardware store usually means four adapters, four extension leads and four points of failure. With the Dahua CS4006-4ET2GT-36, one cable per camera carries both power and video back to the recorder. The two Gigabit ports then link the switch to your NVR, the recorder that stores footage, and to your internet router. Managed Mode lets you watch every port from your phone.
Where most Nairobi electronics shops sell unbranded PoE boxes with no management at all, Mascom International stocks the Dahua CS4006-4ET2GT-36 with a full Dahua specification sheet behind it. You get port monitoring, fault alarms and loop prevention, features usually found on larger switches. Customers across Nairobi tell us the phone alerts save them a trip when a camera drops offline. At Mascom International, we're seeing installers pick this model for four-camera kits because it fits behind a TV cabinet or on a wall. Walk into our Kimathi Street store to see it, or order for pay-on-arrival delivery.
Common Questions About the Dahua CS4006-4ET2GT-36
How much is the Dahua CS4006-4ET2GT-36 in Kenya?
The Dahua CS4006-4ET2GT-36 costs KSh 3,500 at Mascom International in Nairobi, sold as a factory-sealed unit. That price covers the switch, its power adapter and power cord, a quick start guide and a 12-month warranty against manufacturing defects. Delivery is pay-on-arrival, so you pay only after the box is in your hands. If you need more camera ports, the Dahua CS4010-8ET2GT-60 sits KSh 2,000 higher with eight PoE ports and a 60W budget.
How many CCTV cameras can the Dahua CS4006-4ET2GT-36 power?
The Dahua CS4006-4ET2GT-36 powers up to four PoE devices, one on each of ports 1 to 4. Each port can supply up to 30W, but the shared total is capped at 36W. Most fixed dome and bullet cameras draw well below the per-port limit, so four of them usually fit. Add up the power figure printed on each camera's label before installing. If the total passes 36W, the switch turns PoE off on overload to protect itself, so plan a larger model instead.
Should I buy the Dahua CS4006-4ET2GT-36 or the CS4010-8ET2GT-60?
Choose the Dahua CS4006-4ET2GT-36 for up to four cameras and the CS4010-8ET2GT-60 for five to eight. The smaller switch offers four PoE ports, a 36W budget and a compact 115 by 84 mm body for KSh 3,500. The CS4010-8ET2GT-60 doubles the PoE ports, raises the budget to 60W and adds one Hi-PoE port rated up to 60W for a pan-tilt-zoom camera, at KSh 5,500. Both carry two Gigabit uplinks. Pick the bigger one if you expect to add cameras within a year.
Can the Dahua CS4006-4ET2GT-36 handle Kenyan heat, humidity and lightning surges?
The Dahua CS4006-4ET2GT-36 is rated to run from -10°C to 55°C, which covers a hot store room in Garissa or a shop in Mombasa. It tolerates 10% to 90% humidity as long as moisture does not condense on it. Its ports carry 6kV lightning protection and static discharge protection up to 8kV, useful during the long rains. For KPLC power cuts, plug the adapter into a small UPS so cameras stay on. Mount the switch indoors, away from direct rain and dripping water.
Who should buy the Dahua CS4006-4ET2GT-36, and who should skip it?
The Dahua CS4006-4ET2GT-36 suits homes, small shops, clinics and kiosks running up to four IP cameras or Wi-Fi access points. Installers on a tight budget like it because it still offers cloud monitoring. Skip it if you run more than four PoE devices, need a camera drawing over 30W, or plan to grow fast. In that case, the Dahua CS4010-8ET2GT-60 or the larger Dahua CS4218-16ET-135-V2 is the better fit, and both are in stock at Mascom International.
Can I manage the Dahua CS4006-4ET2GT-36 from my phone?
Yes, the Dahua CS4006-4ET2GT-36 connects to Dahua's DoLynk Care cloud platform when Managed Mode is on, which is the factory setting. From the app you can see which ports are live, switch PoE on or off for a single camera and receive fault alarms. It also draws a map of your network automatically, showing what is plugged in where. A business owner in Westlands can restart a frozen camera at a branch in Nakuru without sending a technician. A local web page offers the same controls.
How far from the Dahua CS4006-4ET2GT-36 can a camera sit?
Standard Ethernet reaches 100 metres, but the Dahua CS4006-4ET2GT-36 stretches ports 1 to 4 to 250 metres in Extend mode. The trade-off is speed: the link drops to 10 Mbps, which is often enough for a single camera stream at a far gate. Extend mode and the PoE watchdog work only after you flip the DIP switch to Unmanaged Mode, which turns cloud control off. The watchdog restarts a PoE port after two minutes without traffic. Choose remote management or long reach for each site.
Does the Dahua CS4006-4ET2GT-36 work with Hikvision or other camera brands?
Yes, the Dahua CS4006-4ET2GT-36 follows the IEEE 802.3af and 802.3at PoE standards, which most IP cameras, VoIP desk phones and Wi-Fi access points use. Hikvision, Uniview and Dahua cameras that accept standard PoE will power up from it. Avoid passive 24V devices, which use a different, non-standard power method. The two Gigabit uplinks connect to any brand of NVR or router, including the fibre routers Safaricom installs in homes. Check each device's label for 802.3af or 802.3at before buying.
Technical Specifications
Core Function and Switching Performance
- Six RJ-45 ports in total — four 10/100 Mbps PoE ports for cameras plus two 10/100/1000 Mbps uplinks for the recorder and router.
- 36W total PoE budget with up to 30W on any single port — headroom for four typical fixed dome or bullet cameras.
- 4.8 Gbps switching capacity and a 3.57 Mpps forwarding rate — every port can run at full speed at once without slowing video.
- 2K MAC address table and 4 Mbit packet buffer — the switch remembers enough devices and holds enough data for a home or shop network.
- 9216-byte jumbo frame support — larger data packets move between cameras and the NVR with less overhead and fewer interruptions.
- Layer 2 managed design with 32 IEEE 802.1Q VLANs — camera traffic can stay separate from office computers and guest Wi-Fi users.
Compatibility and Management
- IEEE 802.3af and 802.3at PoE — the common standards used by IP cameras, VoIP phones and Wi-Fi access points from most brands.
- Ethernet standards IEEE 802.3, 802.3u, 802.3x, 802.3ab and 802.3az — the last one trims power use on idle ports automatically.
- DoLynk Care cloud management with automatic topology maps — see every connected device and its status from a phone with mobile data.
- Local web management, system logs and fault alarms — an installer can configure the switch on site without any internet connection.
- N:1 and local port mirroring — copies traffic to one port so a technician can trace a camera that keeps dropping its feed.
- DHCP client and LLDP support — the switch takes an address from your router and identifies neighbouring network devices on its own.
Build, Power and Protection
- Sheet-metal casing measuring 115 × 84 × 27 mm and weighing 0.2 kg — small enough to sit inside a TV cabinet or cupboard.
- Desktop or wall mounting — screw it beside the NVR in a store room, or set it flat on a shelf near the router.
- External 53V DC, 0.8A power adapter — idle draw is 3W or less, rising to 42.4W at full load with all cameras running.
- 6kV common-mode lightning protection plus 8kV air and 6kV contact ESD protection — ESD, electrostatic discharge, is the static spark that kills ports.
- Operating range of -10°C to 55°C and 10% to 90% humidity, non-condensing — comfortable in most indoor rooms, store rooms and server corners.
- Dahua lists an MTBF of 232.62 years — MTBF, mean time between failures, is a lab reliability estimate rather than a lifespan promise.
Inclusions and Software Features
- DIP switch with Managed Mode on by default — flip it off for plug-and-play Unmanaged Mode with no setup at all.
- Extend mode on ports 1 to 4 reaches 250 metres at 10 Mbps — useful for a gate or perimeter camera beyond normal cable range.
- PoE watchdog restarts a port after two minutes without traffic — a frozen camera reboots itself without a site visit from the installer.
- PoE management switches single ports on or off and cuts power on overload — protects the switch and adapter from drawing too much.
- Loop prevention, storm control and MAC plus port binding — stops a wrongly plugged cable or an unknown device from flooding the network.
- Port isolation and one reset button — isolated ports cannot see each other's traffic, and the reset button restores factory settings quickly.
