D-Link 8-Port Gigabit PoE+ Smart Managed Switch

Overview

The D-Link DGS-1100-08PV2 is an 8-port Gigabit switch designed to provide both data connectivity and Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+) on every port, delivering up to 30 watts of power per device through a single Ethernet cable. With a total PoE budget of 64 watts, it supports powering multiple IP cameras, VoIP phones, wireless access points, and other PoE-enabled devices without requiring separate power adapters. Its fanless metal housing ensures quiet operation and reliable cooling, making it suitable for small to medium offices, retail environments, classrooms, and other spaces where noise and heat need to be minimized.

Key features

• Power over Ethernet Plus on all eight ports simplifies installation by combining data and power delivery over one cable.
• Fanless metal design keeps the switch silent and cool, ideal for noise-sensitive work areas.
• Intuitive web-based interface allows easy setup and management without complex configurations.
• VLAN support enables network segmentation to separate departments or device types for improved security and traffic control.
• Quality of Service (QoS) controls prioritize voice and video traffic to maintain smooth communication and streaming.
• IGMP Snooping efficiently manages multicast traffic, reducing unnecessary bandwidth use.
• D-Link Green technology automatically adjusts power consumption based on cable length and port activity, lowering energy costs.
• NDAA compliance ensures suitability for government procurement and secure environments.
• Limited lifetime warranty provides long-term reliability and peace of mind.
