The D-Link DES-1008P 8-port switch with 4 PoE ports allows users to easily connect and supply power over Ethernet (PoE) to devices such as wireless access points (APs), IP cameras or IP phones. The switch also allows you to connect additional Ethernet devices such as computers, printers and network attached storage (NAS) to your network. Designed specifically for home users and small businesses, this compact PoE switch operates quietly, allowing it to fit in almost any room or office.
Power over Ethernet The 4 ports of the DES-1008P switch support the IEEE 802.3af PoE standard. Each PoE port supplies up to 15.4 watts of power for a total switch budget of 58 watts, allowing users to connect 802.3af compliant devices to the DES-1008P. This allows equipment to be placed in hard-to-reach locations regardless of the location of electrical outlets and minimizes cabling. If the device does not support PoE, use the adapter DWL-P50, which can convert any Ethernet port into a port that supports PoE.
High performance Installation of the DES-1008P switch is quick and easy as it requires no configuration. Support for automatic MDI/MDIX polarity detection on all ports eliminates the need for cross cables when connecting to another switch or hub. The auto-negotiation feature on each port allows you to determine the connection speed to a network device (10 or 100Mbps) and perform intelligent tuning for optimal compatibility and performance. The DES-1008P features a passive cooling system to ensure quiet operation. The DES-1008P is also equipped with diagnostic indicators that display the status and activity of the connection, allowing you to quickly locate and solve problems that arise on the network. Combining the benefits of PoE technology, high performance and ease of use, this unmanaged switch is an excellent choice for connecting PoE-enabled devices to your small business or home network.
Easy installation With support for Plug-and-Play technology, the switch requires no configuration, so installation is easy and straightforward. But beyond that, you may need to connect multiple computers, share files, music and videos, or play multi-player online games. For more information about this, visit the D-Link Web site.

Compact size and quiet operation The stylish design and compact size of the housing allows the switch to fit almost anywhere. The power connector and ports are on the back of the switch, which allows you to hide cables neatly and avoid inconvenience. The DES-1008P switch is equipped with a passive cooling system that ensures silent operation. At the same time the switch maintains effective performance, allowing you to watch streaming video without delay or browse Web pages.
