D‑Link DGS‑1210‑10P 8‑Port Gigabit PoE Switch

The D-Link DGS-1210-10P is an 8‑port Gigabit PoE smart switch that helps you connect and power network devices using a single cable. In other words, it not only sends data but also delivers Power over Ethernet (PoE) to devices such as IP cameras, VoIP phones, and Wi‑Fi access points. Additionally, it offers easy management tools so you can control your network without complicated settings. This makes it a great choice for small offices, shops, and growing networks.

Functionality

The DGS‑1210‑10P lets you connect devices like computers, VoIP phones, cameras, and access points to your network using its eight Gigabit Ethernet ports. Because these ports support PoE, the switch sends both power and data through the same cable. First, plug an Ethernet cable from your router or modem into the switch’s uplink port. Then, connect your PoE devices to the remaining ports. After that, you can use the switch’s smart management interface to set up features like VLANs to organize network groups, QoS to prioritise important traffic, and security filters to help protect your network.

Furthermore, the switch helps keep your network efficient by saving power when traffic is low, which can reduce energy costs.
