CUDY 8-PORT GIGABIT PoE(120watts) + Switch

The Cudy GS1010P (often referred to as the 8-port PoE + 2 Uplink model) is a robust networking solution designed to handle multiple high-bandwidth devices simultaneously. By offering 8 dedicated PoE+ ports and 2 additional Gigabit Uplink ports, it allows you to connect your entire surveillance or access point array while maintaining a high-speed connection to your main router and NVR. The Cudy 8-Port Gigabit PoE (120W) Switch Price in Kenya is KSh 8,640.

Who Should Buy This Switch? This is the "Gold Standard" for medium-sized IP CCTV installations and small office Wi-Fi deployments in Kenya. With a total power budget of 120W, it can comfortably power 8 IP cameras or a mix of heavy-duty Access Points (like the AP1300) without breaking a sweat. At KSh 8,640, it provides the essential "Uplink" ports that cheaper 8-port switches lack, ensuring you don't waste a PoE port just to connect to your internet.

Key Professional Features

• Dual Gigabit Uplinks: Having two dedicated uplink ports is a game-changer. It allows you to daisy-chain another switch or connect both an NVR and a Router simultaneously without "consuming" your valuable PoE-enabled ports.

• Intelligent PoE Watchdog: This switch "monitors" your connected cameras. If a camera stops responding (hangs), the switch automatically detects the failure and restarts the specific PoE port to bring the camera back online—saving you a trip to the site for a manual reset.

• 250m Extend Mode: Ideal for large Kenyan compounds or warehouses. When enabled, it allows PoE and data to travel up to 250 meters (at 10Mbps), which is double the standard 100m limit of Ethernet.

• One-Key VLAN: With a simple flip of a switch, you can isolate the PoE ports from each other. This prevents a single infected device or "broadcast storm" from affecting the rest of your network.

• Surge Protection: Built-in 4KV lightning and surge protection helps safeguard your expensive network equipment against the frequent power fluctuations common in many areas.

Important Usage Notes

[!IMPORTANT]

Power Planning: While the total budget is 120W, remember that high-end PTZ cameras with heaters can draw up to 25W-30W each. If you are using such devices, calculate your total load to ensure it stays within the 120W limit.

• Mounting Flexibility: The GS1010P is designed for desktop use but includes mounting holes for wall installation.

• Standard Cables: To achieve the full Gigabit speeds and 120W delivery, always use Pure Copper Cat5e or Cat6 cables. Low-quality CCA (Copper Clad Aluminum) cables can cause power loss and heat buildup.

Pros and Cons

Conclusion

The Cudy GS1010P is a "workhorse" switch that balances high power delivery with high-speed data. For KSh 8,640, it provides the port density and reliability needed for a professional-grade security or networking setup.
