Key Product Advantages
The DGS-1100-08PV2 combines managed switching capabilities with PoE support in a compact desktop design, making it particularly valuable for environments where space is limited but network control and device powering are essential.
PoE Efficiency
The 64W PoE budget intelligently distributes power across all 8 ports, eliminating the need for separate power adapters for connected devices and simplifying cable management.
- Power over Ethernet on all ports
- 64W total budget for flexible allocation
- Reduces cable clutter and power outlets
Managed Features
Layer 2 management provides network administrators with tools for traffic prioritization, VLAN segmentation, and security policies, offering greater control than unmanaged switches.
- VLAN support for network segmentation
- QoS for traffic prioritization
- Enhanced network security controls
Deployment / Use Cases
This switch is well-suited for small office networks, retail environments, and educational settings where multiple devices require both network connectivity and power. The desktop form factor makes it particularly appropriate for locations without dedicated network racks or closets.
Common deployment scenarios include powering and connecting IP phones in office environments, supporting wireless access points in retail spaces, and linking security cameras in small surveillance systems. The switch can also serve as the central connectivity point for workgroup networks where multiple computers, printers, and peripherals need to share resources.
Small Office Networking
Ideal for connecting computers, printers, and VoIP phones in offices with 8 or fewer wired devices, providing both data and power through a single cable solution.
Retail & Hospitality
Perfect for point-of-sale systems, digital signage, and guest Wi-Fi access points where clean desktop installation is preferred over rack mounting.

FAQ
How many devices can this switch power simultaneously?
The DGS-1100-08PV2 has a total PoE budget of 64W that can be distributed across all 8 ports. The actual number of devices powered simultaneously depends on each device's power requirements. For example, it could power approximately 8 standard IP phones (each typically drawing 5-7W) or 4 wireless access points (each typically drawing 12-15W) within the 64W total budget.
What management features does this Layer 2 switch offer?
As a Layer 2 managed switch, the DGS-1100-08PV2 supports VLAN creation for network segmentation, Quality of Service (QoS) for traffic prioritization, port mirroring for monitoring, and security features like port-based access control. These features provide network administrators with greater control over traffic flow, security policies, and network organization compared to unmanaged switches.
Can this switch be rack-mounted?
No, the DGS-1100-08PV2 is designed as a desktop switch with a compact form factor measuring 6.73" wide × 3.85" deep × 1.13" high. It includes rubber feet for stable placement on desks or shelves but does not include rack ears or support for standard rack mounting. It's ideal for deployments outside traditional wiring closets where rack space isn't available.
What type of cables does this switch support?
The switch supports standard twisted-pair Ethernet cables (Cat5e, Cat6, or higher) using 1000Base-T network technology. It's compatible with cables up to 100 meters in length for Gigabit Ethernet connections. All 8 ports support both data transmission and Power over Ethernet over these standard cables, eliminating the need for separate power cables for connected PoE devices.
What is the power consumption of this switch?
The DGS-1100-08PV2 has a maximum power consumption of 77.90W. This includes both the switch's operational power and the PoE power delivered to connected devices. The built-in power supply ensures efficient power delivery, and the switch automatically manages power allocation to connected PoE devices based on their requirements and the available 64W PoE budget.
Does this switch support fiber optic connections?
No, the DGS-1100-08PV2 features 8 copper Gigabit Ethernet ports (RJ-45 connectors) that support twisted-pair cabling only. It does not include SFP slots or support for fiber optic connections. For environments requiring fiber uplinks, you would need to consider switches with SFP expansion slots or use media converters between this switch and fiber network segments.
