Descreption
The D-Link DGS-1008MP 8-Port Desktop Gigabit Max PoE Switch is an ideal solution for small
offices and enterprise environments looking to expand the network with a set of Power over
Ethernet devices such as wireless access points, IP cameras, and IP phones. Built with small
business and enterprise users in mind, the DGS-1008MP is a high-speed, flexible switch
that features a fanless, quiet design so it can be conveniently placed anywhere in a working
environment.
Power Over Ethernet
The DGS-1008MP features eight 10/100/1000BASE-T ports that support the IEEE 802.3at Power
over Ethernet (PoE) standard. Each of the eight PoE ports can supply up to 30 W, with a total
combined PoE budget of 125 W, allowing users to power up to eight IEEE 802.3at-compliant
devices without requiring an additional power supply. This allows devices to be installed in
locations without their own power outlet, saving on installation costs and reducing the time it
takes to install new devices.
Superior Performance
The DGS-1008MP is a plug-and-play device, meaning installation is quick and easy and requires
no additional configuration. Support for Auto MDI/MDI-X on all ports eliminates the need for
crossover cables when connecting to another switch or hub. Auto-Negotiation on each port
senses the link speed of a network device (either 10, 100, or 1000 Mbps) and intelligently
adjusts for optimal compatibility and performance. With store-and-forward switching, the
DGS-1008MP also maximises network performance while minimising packet loss during data
transmission. Combining the convenience of PoE, superior performance, and ease of use, the
DGS-1008MP is the ideal choice for flexibly expanding your network while remaining costefficient.
Compact and Silent Design
The DGS-1008MP has a compact 11” design, so that it can be deployed in
any accessible location on the work floor, allowing you to power a set of
PoE-powered devices while avoiding additional cable clutter. Alternatively,
the standardised 1U-sized housing means the switch can also be mounted
in a standard 19” rack and be integrated into the server infrastructure. The
DGS-1008MP is furthermore built around a fanless design. This makes the
switch suitable to be used closer to, or in populated areas where it works
efficiently while guaranteeing a quiet working environment.
Green Technology
The DGS-1008MP supports IEEE 802.3az Energy-Efficient Ethernet (EEE),
reducing the power consumption of the switch when network utilisation is
low and minimising operating costs during periods of inactivity. By using
EEE-compliant devices with the DGS-1008MP, organisations can noticeably
reduce power consumption by having the switch automatically put ports into
sleep mode when they are not being used.
