The DGS-1008P PoE Gigabit Desktop switch
provides a cost-effective way for office
users to easily connect and supply power to
Power over Ethernet (PoE) devices such as
wireless access points (APs), IP cameras, and
IP phones. It also provides the opportunity
to add additional Ethernet devices like
computers, printers, and Network Attached
Storage (NAS) onto a network. This compact
PoE switch is equipped with Gigabit ports for
faster speeds and operates quietly, making it
ideal for use in virtually any room or office.
In addition, D-Link’s Green Ethernet
technology saves power when the switch
is active and inactive.
Plug and Play Power over Ethernet (PoE)
The first four ports of the DGS-1008P support
the IEEE 802.3af PoE standard. Each of these
four ports can supply up to 15.4 Watts,
making it a very convenient solution for
applications that are far away from power
outlets, or when it is necessary to minimise
the clutter of extra power supplies. The
switch will automatically detect the power
that a connected PoE device requires so
no configuration is needed. A failsafe
mechanism will cut off the power in case of
an unexpected PoE overload, protecting both
the switch and the connected device.
Cable diagnostics function
Every time the DGS-1008P is powered up,
it runs a micro diagnostics routine to check
the integrity of the connected Ethernet
cables. If a failure is detected, the switch
will flag it by means of its front panel LEDs,
making it easy for the user to troubleshoot
wiring problems.
QoS (Quality of Service)
Despite being an unmanaged, Plug and
Play switch, the DGS-1008P is able to classify
network traffic by assessing the existing
802.1p and DSCP fields in the Ethernet
frames and IP packets respectively, and
forward traffic from its ports depending
on their priority. This allows for a smooth
integration of video, voice and data traffic
without delays or loss of quality.
Auto MDI/MDIX crossover
All ports support automatic MDI/MDIX
crossover, eliminating the need for crossover
cables or uplink ports. Each port can be
plugged directly to a server, hub, router,
or switch using regular straight-through
twisted-pair Ethernet cables.
Power-saving technology
The DGS-1008P 8-Port Gigabit Switch
makes use of D-Link Green™ eco-friendly
technology, providing energy savings,
reduced power consumption, and a
longer product life without sacrificing
operational performance or functionality.
This switch helps to conserve energy through
methods such as Link Status and Cable
Length Detection. The Link Status feature
automatically powers down ports that
have no activity on their links, allowing
the switch to save substantial amounts of
energy by cutting power for unused ports
or ports connected to computers that
have been shut down. It can also detect
connected cable lengths, and adjust power
usage accordingly, helping you save energy
without affecting networking performance.
In addition, the fan-less design extends the
product’s lifespan and also reduces noise.
