D-Link DES-1008C 8-Port 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet Unmanaged Switch
Product Features
8-Port Fast Ethernet Connectivity: The D-Link DES-1008C provides eight 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet ports for expanding wired networks in homes, small offices, retail environments, and small to medium business installations.
Up to 200Mbps Full-Duplex Performance: Each Fast Ethernet port can provide up to 200Mbps aggregate throughput in full-duplex operation, supporting everyday file transfers, Internet access, multimedia streaming, and other wired network applications.
1.6Gbps Switching Capacity: With a total switching capacity of 1.6Gbps, the DES-1008C efficiently manages network traffic between connected Ethernet devices.
Unmanaged Plug-and-Play Operation: The switch requires no software installation or network configuration. Connect the power supply and Ethernet cables to quickly expand an existing wired network.
Auto MDI/MDIX: Automatic MDI/MDIX detection eliminates the need to distinguish between crossover and straight-through Ethernet cables when connecting compatible devices.
Automatic Speed Negotiation: The switch automatically negotiates supported Ethernet speeds with connected devices, simplifying deployment across compatible 10/100Mbps network equipment.
Store-and-Forward Switching: Store-and-forward technology helps improve network reliability by checking Ethernet frames before forwarding them to their intended destination.
802.3x Flow Control: IEEE 802.3x flow control helps reduce packet loss when a receiving port becomes congested, providing more reliable communication between connected network devices.
Energy Efficient Ethernet: Support for IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet helps reduce unnecessary power consumption when network activity is low.
Intelligent Power Saving: The switch can detect inactive links and reduce power usage accordingly. Power consumption can also be optimized according to the length of connected Ethernet cables.
Fanless Operation: The DES-1008C uses a fanless design for quiet operation, making it suitable for offices, workspaces, reception areas, classrooms, and home networking environments.
Compact Desktop Design: Measuring approximately 131 × 54 × 21mm, the compact enclosure can be conveniently positioned on desks, counters, shelves, and other limited-space installations.
LED Port Indicators: Individual port indicators provide convenient visual information about Ethernet link status, making basic network monitoring and troubleshooting easier.
2,000-Entry MAC Address Table: The switch supports a MAC address table of up to 2,000 entries for identifying and forwarding network traffic between connected devices.
Suitable for Network Expansion: The DES-1008C is a practical solution for adding additional Ethernet connections for desktop PCs, printers, network storage, IP-based equipment, and other compatible wired devices.
