D-Link 8-Port Gigabit Unmanaged Desktop Switch

About this product

The D-Link 8-Port Gigabit Unmanaged Desktop Switch offers an economical way for SOHO and small and medium businesses to benefit from the increased bandwidth of Gigabit Ethernet. It provides eight Gigabit ports for easy expansion of your network and a quick way to upgrade your network to Gigabit connectivity.

Smaller switches great for advanced home users that would prefer to not connect everything through WiFi and congesting their network. This switch functions like a powerstrip - one cable turns into multiple. Run a single cable from the router and then turn that cable to multiple gadgets.

Plug-and-play makes it easy to instantly create a network connected to the internet, without fiddling with any configurations whatsoever.

Gigabit Ethernet transfer speeds make it ideal for transferring files quickly and online gaming. With front, easy-to-access Ethernet ports with two colour LED light indicators per port to make it easy to distinguish the link status. The switch features QoS, which organizes and prioritizes time-sensitive and important data for efficient delivery, allowing for smooth streaming media, VoIP calling, and online gaming.

When Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) snooping is enabled, the DGS-108 listens to IGMP conversations between hosts and routers and maintains a map of exactly which links need IP multicast streams, resulting in greater efficiency and smoother performance.

Any links that do not need multicasts can be filtered, so you’re always in control of which ports specifically receive multicast traffic.

This switch saves energy and reduces heat, which in turn extends its product life without sacrificing performance or functionality.

The switch supports IEEE 802.3az Energy-Efficient Ethernet (EEE) which can detect when a connected computer is shut down or when there is no Ethernet traffic, and will proceed to power down the idle port, saving a substantial amount of power. In addition, the switch can also save energy by detecting the length of cable connected to a port and use only as much power as is required. Both of these features work together to help you save power automatically.

Designed with durability and performance in mind.

Its sturdy metal housing ensures the product can withstand wider operating by helping to dissipate heat and reduce stress on internal components.

The DGS-1008P features four PoE ports to connect and power several devices at once.

With the large PoE+ power budget, you can easily connect and power devices in your network, even if there’s no nearby power outlet.
