Dahua Technology DH-CS4010-8ET-110 network switch Managed L2 Fast Ethernet (10/100) Power over Ethernet (PoE) Black

The DAHUA DH-CS4010-8ET-110 is a managed L2 switch offering eight Fast Ethernet (10/100) RJ-45 ports with PoE support. Designed for compact deployments, this black switch delivers a switching capacity of 5.6 Gbit/s and a MAC address table that holds up to 8,000 entries. Compliance with IEEE 802.3 standards ensures interoperability with a wide range of network devices. The unit is suitable for small offices, retail locations and branch environments that require centralised power delivery to IP cameras, VoIP phones and wireless access points while maintaining Layer 2 management features.

Advantages

The switch combines managed L2 features with Power over Ethernet across all eight ports, simplifying deployment of powered devices without separate power adaptors. A compact metal housing and 0.5 kg net weight make it suitable for confined rack or shelf spaces. With a forwarding rate around 4.17 Mpps and 5.6 Gbit/s switching capacity, it supports typical small-network traffic loads while the 8,000‑entry MAC table reduces the need for manual address management. Conformance to common IEEE standards ensures predictable behaviour with cameras, access points and phones.

Suitable for

• Small office networks requiring PoE for IP phones and access points
• Retail or branch locations deploying IP surveillance cameras
• Edge connectivity for wireless access points and low-density device aggregation
• Environments that need Layer 2 management and simple VLAN or traffic control

How to use

Mount the DAHUA DH-CS4010-8ET-110 on a shelf or in a small cabinet and connect its external power supply. Use standard Ethernet patch cables to connect IP cameras, VoIP phones and access points to the RJ-45 ports; powered devices will receive PoE according to the negotiated standard. Access the switch management interface via its IP address to configure VLANs, port settings, QoS and other Layer 2 features. Monitor MAC table entries and link status through the management UI to verify device connectivity and troubleshoot link issues.

Recommendations

Place the switch in a ventilated area and avoid direct heat sources. Ensure the external power adapter matches the device’s required input and that connected PoE devices remain within the switch’s total power budget. For camera deployments, separate VLANs and enable QoS to prioritise video traffic; for voice, enable appropriate voice VLAN settings. Regularly update firmware from the manufacturer to maintain interoperability and security.
