D-Link 52-Port Gigabit Stackable POE Smart Managed Switch including 4 x 10G SFP+

The D-Link DGS-1510-52XMP/E is a managed 52-port Gigabit Ethernet switch with 48 PoE-enabled RJ-45 ports and 4 x 10G SFP+ fibre ports for uplinks or physical stacking. Designed for small to medium enterprise networks, it combines Layer 2 switching with Layer 3 features, a 128 Gbit/s switching capacity and flexible PoE power options to support IP phones, wireless access points and other powered devices.

Advantages

The switch offers 10G SFP+ stacking of up to six units for simplified physical consolidation, an Industry Standard CLI plus web and serial management interfaces, and advanced traffic management including VLANs, MSTP, LACP and static routing. Built-in security features include IGMP snooping, access control lists, port security and D-Link Safeguard Engine for protection against denial-of-service flooding. Energy-saving design and a smart fan reduce power consumption.

Suitable for

• Small and medium enterprise network cores and distribution layers
• PoE deployments such as IP telephony and wireless access point installations
• Environments requiring 10G uplinks or physical stacking between switches
• Networks needing Layer 3 static routing with centralized management

Key specifications

• Standards: IEEE 802.3, 802.3u, 802.3ab, 802.1p, 802.3x
• Color and weight: black, 5.41 kg

How to use

Install the switch in a standard 19" rack and connect power. Use the web-based UI, serial console or CLI to configure basic settings: assign IP, create VLANs, configure MSTP and static routes, and set up LACP groups as needed. Connect SFP+ modules or DAC cables for 10G stacking or uplinks to core switches or servers. Configure PoE priority and budgets for powered devices and verify security settings such as ACLs and port security.

Recommendations

For reliable PoE operation when using many high-power devices, add the compatible redundant power supply (DPS-700) to reach the 740 W PoE budget. Use SFP+ direct attach cables or certified SFP+ transceivers for stacking, and deploy D-View 8 for centralized monitoring and configuration backup.
