D-Link DES-108 - 8-port unmanaged desktop switch, Black

This unmanaged switch works out of the box for quick network expansion. The D-Link 8-Port Unmanaged Desktop Ethernet Switch provides extra wired connections for computers, access points, and storage. It features eight RJ45 ports that deliver data transfer rates of 10/100/1000 Mbit/s. Each port automatically negotiates the highest speed for connected hardware. The device integrates into existing setups to increase total network capacity, functioning at Layer 2 to forward frames. As it acts as a simple distribution point, the unit is easy to deploy.

The switch is housed in a metal desktop chassis. The casing dissipates heat, keeping internal components at safe operating temperatures. The unit is fanless, ensuring silent operation in quiet environments. It measures 162 x 102 x 28 mm and weighs 412 g. The MTBF rating of 511,323 hours indicates long-term reliability under continuous use. Front-facing LEDs show power and link status, providing a visual check of active connections.

• 16 Gbit/s total switching capacity for high throughput across all ports.
• Auto-MDI/MDIX removes the need for crossover cables when connecting to other network hardware.
• Support for 1536-byte jumbo frames improves efficiency during large file transfers or backups.
• A 1000-entry MAC address table supports standard home or small office networks.
• Maximum power consumption of 4.5 W for energy-efficient, 24-hour operation.
• Integrated flow control manages data transmission during heavy traffic to minimise packet loss.
