D-Link 18-Port Gigabit Unmanaged PoE Switch DGS-1018P/E — 16 x Gigabit RJ-45, PoE (IEEE 802.3af/at), 36 Gbit/s switching capacity

16-port unmanaged Ethernet switch with Power over Ethernet (PoE) support and 36 Gbit/s switching capacity. The device provides basic RJ-45 connectivity for small networks and includes AC power supply. QoS support helps prioritise traffic for essential services.

Advantages

The unmanaged design requires no configuration, simplifying installation and maintenance. Built-in PoE capability powers compatible devices over the network cable, reducing the need for separate power adapters. A switching capacity of 36 Gbit/s ensures sufficient throughput for typical small office or branch applications, while QoS support improves performance for voice and video traffic.

Key specifications

• Management: Unmanaged
• Ports: 16 x RJ-45 Ethernet
• Switching capacity: 36 Gbit/s
• Power: AC power supply included
• Power over Ethernet: Supported
• Quality of Service: Supported

How to use

Place the switch on a stable surface or mount it according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Connect devices using standard Ethernet cables to the RJ-45 ports. If using PoE-powered devices, connect them to PoE-capable ports to receive power and data over a single cable. Connect the included AC power supply to power the switch. No configuration is required for basic operation; monitor connected devices as needed.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, install the switch in a well-ventilated area and use quality Ethernet cables. Verify PoE power budget against the requirements of connected devices to ensure all PoE endpoints receive adequate power.
