Product Features
Technical Overview
This switch operates on Gigabit Ethernet technology, supporting network standards of 10/100/1000Base-T for twisted pair cables and 1000Base-X for optical fiber connections. The 24 copper ports handle standard Ethernet traffic, while the 4 SFP slots enable fiber uplinks or expansion to extend network reach and bandwidth.
Layer 2 switching capabilities include VLAN support, QoS prioritization, and spanning tree protocols, which help optimize traffic flow and enhance network stability. The built-in power supply ensures consistent voltage delivery to all switch components, supporting reliable operation without redundant power options.

FAQ
How many ports does the D-Link DGS-1210-28 switch have?
The DGS-1210-28 has 24 Gigabit Ethernet ports for connecting devices like computers, printers, and servers. Additionally, it includes 4 SFP slots for expansion, allowing fiber uplinks or additional network connections beyond the copper ports.
Is this switch manageable, and what management features does it offer?
Yes, the DGS-1210-28 is a Layer 2 managed switch. It offers features such as VLAN support for network segmentation, QoS for traffic prioritization, and spanning tree protocols for network stability. Management is accessible through a WebSmart interface, simplifying configuration and monitoring.
Can this switch be mounted in a rack?
Yes, the switch is designed for both desktop and rack-mountable installations. It has a 1U form factor, making it compatible with standard 19-inch server racks. This flexibility allows for organized deployment in wiring closets or convenient placement on a desktop.
Does the DGS-1210-28 support Power over Ethernet (PoE)?
No, this switch does not support Power over Ethernet. It uses a built-in power supply to operate its own components, so connected devices must have their own power sources. This makes it suitable for environments where PoE is not required for endpoints.
What types of cables and media does this switch support?
The switch supports twisted pair cables (like Cat5e or Cat6) for the 24 copper ports, with data transfer up to 100 meters. It also supports optical fiber through the SFP slots, enabling connections with 1000Base-X technology for longer distances or higher bandwidth needs.
What is the purpose of the SFP slots on this switch?
The 4 SFP slots provide expansion capabilities for connecting to other network devices via fiber optics. They can be used for uplinks to core switches, servers, or to extend network reach beyond copper limitations. SFP modules allow customization based on distance and speed requirements.
