D-Link DGS-F1010P-E 10-Port Long Range PoE Switch

Deploying IP cameras and wireless access points across large premises demands a switch that goes beyond standard Ethernet limits. The D-Link DGS-F1010P-E 10-Port Long Range PoE Switch delivers Gigabit data and PoE power across cable runs of up to 250 metres — tripling the distance of conventional PoE switches. Built for surveillance, business, and campus environments, it combines long-range reach with surge protection and intelligent operating modes in a compact, fanless chassis.

What Is the D-Link DGS-F1010P-E?

The DGS-F1010P-E is a 10-port Gigabit PoE+ switch with eight PoE downlink ports and two Gigabit uplink ports. It supports IEEE 802.3af and 802.3at standards, delivering up to 30W per port with a total PoE power budget of 96W. The switch is fully plug-and-play — requiring zero configuration for standard operation — and features a fanless metal design for silent deployment in any environment.

Why the D-Link DGS-F1010P-E Stands Out

D-Link DGS-F1010P-E Extends PoE Reach to 250 Metres

Standard PoE switches cap out at 100 metres. In Extend Mode, the DGS-F1010P-E pushes that limit to 250 metres on ports 1 through 8 — using nothing more than standard Cat5e or Cat6 cable. This is critical for perimeter surveillance, large compounds, and multi-building campuses where devices must be mounted far from the central networking equipment.

D-Link DGS-F1010P-E Offers Built-In 6kV Surge Protection

Power instability is a real concern in Kenya. The DGS-F1010P-E includes 6kV surge protection across all PoE ports, shielding connected devices from lightning strikes and voltage spikes. This protection level is not standard in switches at this price point and directly reduces the risk of costly equipment replacements.

Four DIP Switch Modes for Instant Configuration

Without accessing any management interface, users can switch between four operating modes using the on-unit DIP switch. VLAN Mode isolates ports to prevent broadcast storms. QoS Mode prioritises video traffic for smoother surveillance feeds. PoE Mode automatically reboots unresponsive powered devices — eliminating the need for manual intervention when a camera or access point locks up.

D-Link DGS-F1010P-E Use Cases and Regular Users

IP Surveillance and CCTV Installers

Security integrators deploying cameras across large properties — estates, warehouses, schools, and hospitals — need PoE switches that reach devices at the perimeter without intermediate switches. The DGS-F1010P-E’s 250-metre Extend Mode places cameras at their optimal location without extra power cabling, while the 6kV surge protection safeguards outdoor-facing ports.

SMEs and Campus Wireless Deployments

Businesses installing wireless access points across open-plan offices or multi-room facilities benefit from PoE delivery over a single cable per device. Schools, churches, and community organisations operating across compound layouts can connect multiple buildings to a central router with no IT expertise required — the plug-and-play design handles the rest.

Network Integrators and IT Administrators

For professionals managing structured network deployments, the DGS-F1010P-E provides reliable Layer 2 switching with intelligent PoE management. The auto-reboot PoE Mode minimises downtime at unmanned remote installations, while VLAN isolation keeps surveillance traffic segmented from general data traffic across the same switch.
