D-Link DGS-1008D

This desktop switch offers a cost-effective solution for SOHO and small to medium-sized businesses to benefit from increased Gigabit Ethernet bandwidth. It offers 8 Gigabit ports for rapid deployment of servers that encounter increasing network load. With Plug-and-Play installation and copper Gigabit ports capable of connecting to your existing Cat. 5 twisted pair cable, this product will instantly boost the performance of your workgroups without the need to install expensive fiber cables or perform complex reconfiguration.

8 copper Gigabit ports

Gigabit ports provide a cost-effective alternative to fibre. Using your low-cost Cat.5 twisted pair copper cables as the transmission medium, these ports allow you to instantly upgrade your servers to Gigabit capacity without the need to install expensive new fibre cables. All ports support automatic 10/100/1000Mbps network speed detection and automatic full/half duplex negotiation.

Gigabit Full Duplex Access Server

The Gigabit ports provide dedicated bandwidth so that your server operates at 2000Mbps full duplex. This avoids bottlenecks and allows workstations to connect to the data server simultaneously.

IEEE 802.3x Flow Control

This feature allows servers to connect directly to the switch for fast and efficient data transfers. At 2000Mbps full duplex, these switches support high-speed data transport to your servers with minimal data transfer loss.

Self-adjusting ports in MDI/MDI-X

All ports automatically adjust to MDI/MDI-X crossover or straight-through, eliminating the need for crossover cables or uplink ports. Any port can be connected to the server, a hub or another switch using traditional twisted pair straight-through cable.

Easy integration

The switch integrates seamlessly into your existing network, whether it's Ethernet, Fast Ethernet or Gigabit Ethernet, eliminating the need to replace your active network hardware or software.

Plug-and-Play Installation

With 10/100/1000Mbps auto-sensing, autonegotiation on all ports plus the ability to keep your existing Category 5 cabling, network installation is a breeze. All you have to do is plug the cables into the switch and your network will be up and running in minutes.

Green Ethernet Switch

Designed to help SMBs reduce energy costs and optimise power consumption, these switches take advantage of the potential of Green Ethernet technology, saving up to 45% in energy costs. Thanks to Green Ethernet technology, the switch identifies when one or more devices are inactive. As soon as this inactivity is detected, the switch responds by reducing the flow to the relevant port and putting it on standby automatically, thus reducing the energy used for the device.
