D-Link DGS-1008D/E - unmanaged 8-port Gigabit Ethernet desktop switch, White

The D-Link DGS-1008D/E is an 8-port unmanaged gigabit desktop switch that allows you to expand your wired network without configuration. It features eight 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ-45 ports for connecting computers, access points, and network storage. As a plug-and-play device, it begins forwarding traffic as soon as cables are attached. Its 16 Gbit/s switching capacity allows multiple connected devices to exchange data simultaneously, with each port supporting up to 2 Gbit/s in full-duplex mode.

The unit is housed in a compact white chassis measuring 164.5 x 112.4 x 35 mm. Front-facing LEDs show activity, link, and power status. Weighing 300 g, the switch is designed to sit on a shelf or desk. It has a mean time between failures (MTBF) of 1,150,500 hours. Since the device lacks rack-mounting hardware, it is intended for use on flat surfaces only.

• Auto-MDI/MDIX detects the required connection type on all ports, eliminating the need for crossover cables.
• The 4000-entry MAC address table manages traffic across local networks.
• Support for jumbo frames allows for larger data packets, optimising throughput during large file transfers.
• Flow control regulates data transmission to minimise packet loss during heavy network traffic.
• It is compatible with 10Base-T, 100Base-TX, and 1000Base-T copper standards, ensuring it works with both legacy and modern hardware.
