Product Features
Technical Overview
This switch operates across Gigabit Ethernet and 10 Gigabit Ethernet technologies, supporting both 1000Base-T over twisted pair cabling and 10GBase-X over optical fiber via its SFP+ slots. The media flexibility allows network architects to use cost-effective copper for desktop connections while leveraging fiber for long-distance or high-bandwidth uplinks to core switches or servers.
The integrated power supply ensures stable voltage delivery across all 24 PoE ports, supporting IEEE 802.3af/at compliant devices such as wireless access points, IP phones, and security cameras. The switch's modular design includes four dedicated SFP+ slots, providing a clear upgrade path for future bandwidth demands without requiring a hardware replacement.

Key Product Advantages
The DGS-1250-28XMP stands out by merging high port density with future-ready uplink capabilities in a single rack unit. Its 24 PoE ports eliminate the need for separate power injectors, simplifying cabling and reducing installation costs for PoE-dependent devices. The four 10GbE SFP+ slots offer substantial headroom for aggregating traffic from multiple Gigabit segments or connecting to high-speed storage and server infrastructure.
Scalable Uplink Strategy
With four SFP+ slots, this switch can be configured with 10GbE fiber or DAC cables to create resilient uplinks to core switches, ensuring that access-layer traffic does not become a bottleneck as network demands grow.
- Supports 10GBase-X fiber optics
- Compatible with SFP+ direct-attach copper
- Allows link aggregation for redundancy
Unified PoE Management
The integrated PoE management allows administrators to monitor power consumption per port, schedule power cycles, and prioritize critical devices like VoIP phones or security cameras during power budget constraints.
- IEEE 802.3af/at compliance
- Per-port power monitoring
- Configurable power prioritization
Deployment / Use Cases
This switch is ideal for medium to large office networks, educational campuses, and retail environments where a mix of wired devices and wireless access points must be powered and connected reliably. The PoE capabilities make it particularly effective for deploying IP surveillance systems, as cameras can be placed in optimal locations without nearby power outlets.
In VoIP deployments, the DGS-1250-28XMP provides both connectivity and power to IP phones, while its Layer 3 features enable quality of service (QoS) policies to prioritize voice traffic. For IT rooms or data closets, the 1U rack-mountable design conserves space, and the 10GbE uplinks ensure smooth connectivity to aggregation or core layers without performance degradation.
IP Surveillance Hub
Deploy this switch as the central connectivity point for IP cameras, using PoE to simplify installation and Layer 3 features to segment camera traffic from other network segments for security and performance.
High-Density Office Network
Use the 24 PoE ports to connect and power desktop computers, VoIP phones, and wireless access points, while the SFP+ uplinks aggregate traffic to the network core, maintaining low latency for business applications.
Physical Profile
The DGS-1250-28XMP features a compact 1U rack-mountable chassis measuring 1.73" (44 mm) in height, 17.32" (440 mm) in width, and 9.84" (250 mm) in depth, with an approximate weight of 7.63 lb (3460 g). This form factor is designed for standard 19-inch racks, making it easy to integrate into existing network cabinets or server rooms without occupying excessive space.
The built-in power supply and passive cooling design contribute to a clean installation, reducing cable clutter and minimizing audible noise in office environments. The front-panel layout clearly separates the 24 Gigabit RJ-45 ports from the four SFP+ slots, simplifying cable management and visual port identification during maintenance or troubleshooting.
