Marketing description

The DGS-1008P offers an economical way for SOHO and small to medium businesses (SMB) to benefit from the increased bandwidth of Gigabit Ethernet. It provides 8 Gigabit ports for fast server deployment to meet increasing network loads. The Gigabit PoE ports provide a larger bandwidth for high speed network applications, especially IEEE802.11n Access Points, high resolution video cameras, and phones.

Key selling points

• Ultimate performance - connect more high-powered IP cameras, IP phones and wireless access points
• Power over Ethernet - transmit power and data through one cable using 802.af PoE standard
• Easy installation - quick, simple Plug and Play configuration

Product features

• 8-port desktop switch with 4 Power over Ethernet (PoE) ports
  The DES-1008P 8-port switch can convey power to up to four network devices via the usual network cables using Power over Ethernet technology. This provides a cost-effective entry-level solution for users wishing to make the most of their network. The DES-1008P enables users to easily connect and supply power to devices such as wireless Access Points (AP), IP cameras and IP phones via the common network cables.
• IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE)
  Four out of the eight ports on the DES-1008P support the IEEE 802.3af standard for Power over Ethernet (PoE). Each of these ports can supply up to 15.4W, up to a total PoE budget of 56W, allowing users to attach IEEE 802.3af-compliant devices without requiring an additional power source. Networking devices receiving power in this way do not need to be placed within close proximity of a power outlet, allowing greater flexibility for their placement. Compliance with IEEE 802.3af also means that when a compliant device is attached, the switch automatically adjusts the power supplied to that device.
• Superior performance
  The switch is completely unmanaged, so no configuration is required and installation is quick and easy. Support for auto-MDI/MDI-X on all ports eliminates the need for crossover cables for connection to another switch or hub. Auto-negotiation on each port senses the link speed of a network device and intelligently adjusts for compatibility and optimal performance. The DES-1008P also features diagnostic LEDs that display status and activity, allowing you to quickly detect and correct problems on the network. With wire-speed filtering and store-and-forward switching, the DES-1008P also maximizes network performance while minimizing the transmission of bad network packets. Combining the convenience of PoE, superior performance, and ease of use, the D-Link DES-1008P is the ideal choice for adding PoE devices to either a home or a small business network.
