An energy-efficient power adapter (Energy Star Level V qualified), minimised use of harmful substances (RoHS compliant), and recyclable packaging make this switch truly environmentally friendly.

Fast and Reliable Networking

The D-Link DGS-1008D 8-Port Gigabit Desktop Switch creates a blazing fast network for your office, as its Gigabit Ethernet ports provide high-speed wired connections for up to eight PCs or other devices. The DGS-1008D also features QoS, which prioritises network traffic so that time-sensitive data is delivered efficiently, even during bursts of high data traffic. It’s stylish, easy-to-use, and comes IPv6-ready for a reliable network today and tomorrow.

Conserve Energy

The 8-Port Gigabit Desktop Switch helps you conserve energy automatically through several methods. It automatically powers down ports that have no link, allowing the switch to save a substantial amount of power by cutting power usage for unused ports. It also adjusts the amount of power supplied to a port according to the length of the connected Ethernet cable.

Environmentally-friendly

The 8-Port Gigabit Desktop Switch was designed with the environment in mind, and is compliant with Energy Star Level V, as well as with the stringent CEC and MEPS regulations that require the use of energy efficient power adapters. The switch is also built to follow RoHS standards to minimise the use of hazardous materials, and uses recyclable packaging that helps reduce waste, complying with the WEEE directive.

How to use

Place the switch on a stable, ventilated surface near your router or network devices. Connect the power adapter to the switch and an electrical outlet, then use Ethernet cables to connect your router and up to eight devices. The switch is plug-and-play; connected devices will obtain wired network access automatically. No configuration is required for basic operation, but ensure cables are properly seated and check link LEDs for connection status.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use Cat5e or higher Ethernet cables and place the switch in a location with adequate airflow. Disable power-saving features only when troubleshooting specific connectivity or compatibility issues. Recycle the packaging and dispose of the product according to local electronic waste regulations.
