Product Features
Technical Overview
This switch operates at Layer 2 of the OSI model, supporting essential switching functions including VLANs, QoS, and port-based traffic management. All eight ports deliver Gigabit Ethernet performance using standard twisted pair cabling (1000Base-T), supporting data transfers at up to 1000 Mbps per port.
The management interface provides web-based configuration options for network administrators who need control over their network segmentation and traffic prioritization. While it doesn't include PoE capabilities or SFP uplinks, it offers solid foundational switching for basic network expansion needs.
Relevant factors for this section include Total Number of Network Ports, Port/Expansion Slot Details, Media Type Supported, Ethernet Technology. When those points are considered together, they give buyers a clearer picture of how the product is equipped, how it fits into deployment, and what kind of day-to-day role it is meant to support.

FAQ
How many devices can I connect to this switch?
The DGS-1100-08V2 provides eight Gigabit Ethernet ports, allowing you to connect up to eight wired devices directly. You can further expand connectivity by connecting additional switches to any of these ports, though the total number of devices should consider your network's overall bandwidth requirements and the switch's 16 Gbps switching capacity.
What management features does this Layer 2 switch offer?
As a Layer 2 managed switch, the DGS-1100-08V2 supports VLAN configuration for network segmentation, Quality of Service (QoS) for traffic prioritization, port configuration settings, and basic monitoring through its web-based management interface. These features provide control over network traffic flow without the complexity of enterprise-level switching platforms.
Does this switch support Power over Ethernet (PoE)?
No, the DGS-1100-08V2 does not include Power over Ethernet capabilities. All eight ports provide data connectivity only and require connected devices to have their own power sources. For PoE requirements, consider D-Link's PoE-enabled switch models within the same product family or higher series.
What type of cabling does this switch require?
This switch uses standard twisted pair Ethernet cabling (Category 5e, 6, or higher) with RJ45 connectors. It supports the 1000Base-T standard for Gigabit Ethernet over copper, with a maximum cable length of 100 meters (328 feet) per connection. The switch automatically negotiates speed and duplex settings with connected devices.
Can this switch be rack-mounted?
The DGS-1100-08V2 is designed as a desktop switch and does not include built-in rack mounting brackets. Its compact dimensions (5.71" wide × 3.23" deep × 1.10" high) make it suitable for placement on desks, shelves, or other flat surfaces. For rack deployment, consider D-Link's rack-mountable switch models with similar port counts and features.
What is the power consumption of this switch?
The DGS-1100-08V2 consumes approximately 4.94 watts under typical operating conditions. This low power draw makes it energy-efficient for continuous operation, reducing electricity costs compared to higher-power switches. The switch uses an external power supply (included) that converts AC power to the required DC voltage for switch operation.
