The D-Link DGS-1008MP 8-Port Desktop Switch with 8 PoE Ports is an ideal solution for small office or enterprise environments looking to easily connect and supply power to Power over Ethernet (PoE) devices such as wireless Access Points (APs), IP cameras, and IP phones while adding more Ethernet devices like computers, printers, and Network Attached Storage (NAS) onto a network. Built with small business and enterprise users in mind, this rack mountable PoE switch operates quietly, making it ideal for use in virtually any room or office.

Power over Ethernet
The DGS-1008MP features 8 10/100/1000BASE-T ports that support the IEEE 802.3at PoE protocol. Each of the 8 PoE ports can supply up to 30 watts, for a total PoE budget of 140 watts, allowing users to attach an IEEE 802.3at-compliant device to the DGS-1008MP without requiring additional power. PoE is especially suitable for devices that are far from power outlets or when you want to minimize the clutter of extra cables. If a device is not PoE-compatible, the D-Link DPE-301GS PoE Adapter can turn any regular Ethernet port into a PoE Ethernet port.

Superior Performance
No configuration is required and installation is quick and easy. Support for Auto MDI/MDIX on all ports eliminates the need for crossover cables when connecting to another switch or hub. Auto-Negotiation on each port senses the link speed of a network device (either 10, 100, or 1000 Mbps) and intelligently adjusts for compatibility and optimal performance. The switch has been designed without fans so you can be sure of quiet operation wherever it is installed. With wire-speed filtering and store-and-forward switching, the DGS-1008MP also maximizes network performance while minimizing the transmission of bad network packets. Combining the convenience of PoE, superior performance, and ease of use, the 8-Port Desktop Switch with 8 PoE Ports is the ideal choice for adding PoE devices to a small business or enterprise network.

Hassle-free Setup
The 8-Port Desktop Switch with 8 PoE Ports is a Plug-and-Play device that requires no configuration, so setup is simple and hassle-free. But we know that setting up your switch is only the beginning; you may want to connect multiple computers, share files, music, and video across your home or small office network, or even create a multi-player gaming environment. That’s why D-Link provides a support website to answer all of your questions and help you get the most out of your network.

Compact and Silent
The DGS-1008MP has a sleek and compact design, so that you can place it in any easily accessible location and have it stay out of your way. The power connector and ports are all located at the rear of the switch allowing you to tuck the cables away conveniently. The DGS-1008MP does not use a fan, so the switch operates silently but effectively, letting you watch movies streamed off the Internet without distraction, or browse the Web in peace.

D-Link Green Ethernet 3.0 Technology
DGS-1008MP switches feature both D-Link Green 3.0 Technology and IEEE802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) to cut operating costs without sacrificing operational performance or functionality. With D-Link Green technology, the switches constantly monitor the link status and network utilization of every port. The switches also automatically detect cable length and can reduce transmission power usage for shorter cables. By pairing EEE capable devices with DGS-1008MP switches organizations can drastically reduce power consumption by automatically putting ports into a sleep mode when not being used
