DGS-108 8-Port Gigabit Switch

DGS-108 Overview

The DGS-108 is an 8-port Gigabit unmanaged switch. It is made for small offices and home offices. This switch offers a simple and affordable way to build a reliable network. You don’t need any complicated setup or technical skills. Whether you want to connect computers, wireless access points, IP cameras, or network printers, the DGS-108 makes setup quick and easy.

DGS-108 Port Speeds and Performance

Each of the eight ports supports speeds of 10, 100, or 1000 Mbps. The switch automatically detects the best speed for each device. This helps your network run at its best. The switch uses a store-and-forward method. This means it checks data for errors before sending it on. This keeps your connection stable and error-free.

DGS-108 Quality of Service (QoS)

The DGS-108 also supports Layer 2 Quality of Service (QoS). This feature gives priority to important traffic like voice calls and video streaming. As a result, these applications run smoothly even when the network is busy. The switch can store up to 4,000 device addresses in its MAC address table. This helps manage network traffic efficiently and reduces delays.

DGS-108 Energy Efficiency and Durability

Power saving is another important feature of the DGS-108. It meets IEEE 802.3az Energy-Efficient Ethernet (EEE) standards. This means it uses less power when the network is idle or busy with low activity. Despite saving energy, the switch has a strong metal case. This makes it durable and protects it in different environments.

Network Ports & Connectivity

The DGS-108 comes with 8 Gigabit Ethernet ports. Each port supports speeds of 10, 100, or 1000 Mbps. All ports have Auto MDI/MDIX crossover. This means you don’t need special crossover cables. The switch also supports Jumbo Frames up to 9,000 bytes. This helps when you transfer large files. Plus, it is plug-and-play, so setup is quick and easy.

Performance & Management

Moreover, the switch has a 16 Gbps switching fabric, allowing it to handle lots of network traffic smoothly. It uses store-and-forward switching to reduce errors. Both full and half duplex modes are supported for Ethernet and Fast Ethernet. Importantly, it supports IEEE 802.1p QoS with 4 priority queues, which helps manage network traffic better. Also, there is a cable diagnostics feature to help you find and fix cable problems easily.

Security & VLAN Features

The DGS-108 supports IEEE 802.3x Flow Control, keeping data flowing smoothly without packet loss. Likewise, Layer 2 Quality of Service (QoS) prioritizes important traffic on your network.

Physical & Environmental Specs

This switch is RoHS compliant, so it meets environmental standards. Its metal housing is strong and durable. It works well in temperatures from 0 to 45 °C (32 to 104 °F). For storage, it can handle -10 to 70 °C (14 to 158 °F). It also tolerates humidity between 0% and 95%, without condensation.

Conclusion

In summary, the DGS-108 is a great choice for small offices and home offices. It is easy to set up and reliable. Thanks to its fast ports, power-saving features, and sturdy build, it can support your network needs with no fuss. Whether you’re streaming videos, making VoIP calls, or transferring large files, this switch can support your needs while keeping costs and complexity low.
