- D-Link Green™ technology, saves energy & increases the product′s lifespan D-Link′s DES-108 Fast Ethernet switch provides a cost-effective way for SOHO & SMB to create a small network & connect computers, wireless Access Points, IP cameras, network printers & other Ethernet devices quickly & easily without complicated configurations. This switch comes with 8 Fast Ethernet ports with an auto-sensing function to detect the maximum speed of the connected devices, allowing you to run your network with the best possible performance. Its fanless design makes the DES-108 completely silent so it is ideal for offices, libraries or meeting rooms. Robust design The DES-108 is designed with durability & performance in mind. The sturdy metal housing will protect it against accidental harm, while helping to dissipate heat & to reduce stress on internal components. The visible LEDs allow for an easy reading of each port status, helping to troubleshoot connectivity problems. For a convenient placement, this switch comes with a wall mounting kit & a slot for a Kensington security lock to protect it from theft. Qo S (Quality of Service) Despite being an unmanaged, Plug & Play switch, the DES-108 is able to classify network traffic by assessing the 802.1p field in the Ethernet frames, & forward them out of its ports depending on their priority. This allows for a smooth integration of video, voice & data traffic without delays or loss of quality. Power-saving technology The DES-108 is part of D-Link Green™, D-Link′s eco-friendly technology, providing energy savings, reduced power consumption, & a longer product lifespan without sacrificing operational performance or functionality. This switch implements the 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) standard, which can save a substantial amount of energy by detecting the port status, putting them in low-power, st&-by mode when no network traffic is detected. This helps businesses to save money by reducing their electricity bills with no compromise on performance.
