D-Link DES-1008C/E - 8-Port Fast Ethernet Unmanaged Desktop Switch, White

The D-Link DES-1008C/E 8-Port Fast Ethernet Unmanaged Desktop Switch is a plug-and-play device designed to expand wired networks. Setup requires only connecting the unit to a router and plugging it into a power source. It features eight Fast Ethernet RJ45 ports operating at 10/100 Mbps. Each port uses auto-negotiation to match the link speed of the connected hardware. The switch manages network traffic automatically by learning the MAC addresses of active clients. No additional software or configuration is required to add this device to an existing local area network.

The 8-port switch is housed in a white desktop chassis, measuring 131 x 54 x 21 mm and weighing 74.8 grams. Its fanless design ensures silent operation, suitable for noise-sensitive residential or office environments. External LEDs provide visual status indicators for power, link, and activity. The device has a mean time between failures (MTBF) of 1,579,582 hours. Power is supplied via a standard DC-in jack, with a maximum consumption of 1.55 W. These specifications allow for continuous operation with a minimal energy footprint.

• 1.6 Gbit/s switching capacity handles simultaneous data transfers across all active connections.
• Auto-MDI/MDIX functionality automatically detects the connection type, eliminating the need for crossover cables.
• 2000-entry MAC address table provides memory for efficient traffic routing in small networks.
• IEEE 802.3x flow control manages data transmission during heavy network loads to prevent packet loss.
• IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet support reduces power usage during periods of low link utilization.
• 1.19 Mpps forwarding rate processes and distributes incoming network packets.
• Jumbo frame support accommodates larger data payloads to improve throughput during bulk file transfers.
