D-Link DGS-1008P/E nem menedzselt switch, L2, 8 port, PoE

The D-Link 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet PoE Switch (DGS-1008P) provides small offices with eight Gigabit ports to connect computers, printers, NAS and high-speed devices, while powering PoE-compatible equipment such as IP cameras, IP phones and wireless access points. Its compact, fan-less design enables quiet placement in offices or rooms and reduces network bottlenecks for applications that require consistent throughput.

Advantages

The first four ports support the IEEE 802.3af PoE standard, supplying up to 15.4 W per port with a total PoE budget of 52 W, so compliant devices can operate without separate power adapters. Auto MDI/MDIX eliminates the need for crossover cables or dedicated uplink ports, allowing direct connection to servers, routers and other switches. The switch is plug-and-play with no additional setup required and supports IEEE 802.1p QoS to prioritise time-sensitive traffic such as VoIP. Energy-saving D-Link Green features — Link Status and Cable Length Detection — reduce power consumption by powering down unused ports and adjusting power based on cable length.

Key specifications

• Model: DGS-1008P
• Ports: 8 × Gigabit Ethernet
• PoE: IEEE 802.3af on ports 1–4
• PoE power per port: up to 15.4 W

How to use

Place the switch in a dry, ventilated location and connect it to the mains power. Use standard straight-through Ethernet cables to connect devices to any of the eight Gigabit ports; ports 1–4 will automatically supply PoE to IEEE 802.3af-compliant devices. No configuration is required—the unit operates in plug-and-play mode. For optimal operation, connect time-sensitive devices such as VoIP phones to ports and rely on the built-in IEEE 802.1p QoS for traffic prioritisation. If a device is not powered or a port is unused, the Link Status feature reduces power consumption automatically.

Recommendations

For deployments requiring more PoE power or advanced management features, consider a managed or higher-budget PoE switch. For typical small-office use with a few IP cameras, phones and wireless access points, the DGS-1008P offers a compact, quiet and energy-efficient solution.
