D-Links DGS-1500 Smart Profamily switches are designed for small/medium businesses who require functions like L3 Static Routing & Single IP Management (Virtual Stacking) without upgrading to a managed switch. The family integrates advanced management & security functions that are similar to those of a managed switch, but less complex. The switches feature D-Link Green 3.0 technology, which provide the added benefit of significant power savings. The DGS-1500-20 & DGS-1500-28 are both fanless which allows them to emit less heat & noise than a standard switch, making them suitable for office environments. The DGS-1500-28P & DGS-1500-52 both feature smart fans that use a thermal sensor that can detect temperature change, the smart fans can react accordingly by utilizing different fan speeds for different temperatures. The Smart Fan feature enables the built-in fans to automatically turn on at a certain temperature, providing continuous, reliable & eco-friendly operation of the switch. D-Link is striving to take the lead in developing innovative & power-saving technology that does not sacrifice operational performance or functionality. The DGS-1500 Smart Pro family implements D-Link Green Technology, which
Includes:: a power saving mode, smart fan, reduced heat dissipation, & cable length detection. The power-saving features include being able to schedule when to turn off LEDs & ports when not in use, & when to make the switch enter hibernation mode. The switches can also detect the length of connected cables to automatically adjust power usage by saving energy on shorter cable connections of up to 20 meters. The switches can also support power-saving by link status, which drastically reduces power consumption by automatically toggling ports without a link to sleep mode. The DGS-1500 Smart Pro family features advanced features such as Virtual Stacking & Layer 3 features like Static Routing. Virtual Stacking reduces the number of IP addresses need
