The D-Link DGS-1008P switch with 8 10/100/1000Base-T ports (4 ports support Power over Ethernet (PoE)) is designed for home users as well as small businesses and allows you to connect and supply power over Ethernet cables to devices such as PoE-compatible wireless access points, network cameras or IP phones. This switch has a passive cooling system that makes the device quiet, allowing it to be placed in almost any room or office.
Power over Ethernet 4 ports DGS-1008P supports standard IEEE 802.3at PoE. Each PoE port supplies up to 30 watts of power for a total switch budget of 80 watts, allowing users to connect devices compatible with the 802.3at standard to the DGS-1008P. This allows equipment to be placed in hard-to-reach locations regardless of the location of electrical outlets and minimizes cabling. If your device does not support PoE, use the DPE-301GS PoE adapter which can convert any Ethernet port into a PoE-enabled port.
High performance DGS-1008P supports Plug-and-play technology which allows you to connect devices without having to make any additional settings. Support for automatic MDI/MDIX polarity detection on all ports eliminates the need to use crossover cables when connecting to another switch. An auto-negotiation feature on each port determines speed and duplex of the connected device for optimal compatibility and performance.
Power Saving The DGS-1008P switch supports IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) technology, which can detect when the connected computer is off, and therefore reduce power consumption on inactive ports, which saves a significant amount of energy. In addition, the DGS-1008P detects the length of Ethernet cables connected to the ports and adjusts the power consumption on those ports accordingly, using only the necessary amount of energy.
Compact size and quiet operation The compact size of the enclosure allows the DGS-1008P to fit almost anywhere. The switch has a passive cooling system that makes it silent.
