Product Introduction
The DGS-1008P Switch provides 8 Gigabit Ethernet ports, 4 of which support Power over Ethernet (PoE) for
PoE applications such as powering wireless Access Points (APs), IP cameras, and IP phones. The remaining
4 non-PoE ports can be used to connect devices such as computers, printers, and Network Attached Storage
(NAS) to the network. With wire-speed Gigabit throughput, the DGS-1008P provides non-blocking switching
for both home and office environments.
IEEE 802.3af/at Power over Ethernet
The first four ports of the DGS-1008P support the IEEE 802.3af and IEEE 802.3at PoE protocols. Each of
these four ports can directly supply up to 15.4 watts of power to an IEEE 802.3af-compliant Powered Device
(PD) or up to 30 watts of power to an IEEE 802.3at-compliant Powered Device (PD). This effectively minimizes
the clutter of extra cables and is especially suitable for expanding the network with remote devices that are
otherwise too far away from a power outlet.
Easy to Use, Safe, and Excellent Performance
The DGS-1008P is a plug-and-play device that requires no additional configuration after installation. Support
for auto-MDI/MDI-X on all ports eliminates the need for crossover cables when connecting to other switches
or hubs. Auto-negotiation on each port senses the link speed (either 10, 100, or 1000 Mbps) of a connected
network device and intelligently adjusts for improved compatibility and optimal performance. The fanless
design of the DGS-1008P extends the device's lifetime while also significantly reducing noise when operating.
The DGS-1008P also features a set of diagnostic LEDs which display the status and activity of each port on
the device, allowing the user to quickly detect and correct problems if they occur.
The DGS-1008P features several safety functions to prevent an unexpected overload of PoE power. In the
event of such an overload, the Switch will immediately cut off the power supply to any connected powered
device, protecting both the PoE device and the Switch from being damaged.
All ports on the DGS-1008P are Gigabit-capable, providing a larger bandwidth for high-speed network
applications, especially IEEE 802.11n access points, high-resolution video cameras, and IP phones.
Combining the convenience of PoE, superior performance, and ease of use, the DGS-1008P is the ideal PoE
solution for expanding both home and small business networks.
