More ports. Multi-Gigabit Ethernet.
Maximise network throughput with 2.5Gbps Multi-Gigabit Ethernet on each port of this compact 8-port switch. Whether it’s to connect to your core or create a network between devices, now you can easily start sharing an internet connection, files, music, and video, or for gaming without bottlenecks.

2.5 Gigabit Ethernet
Save time transferring large files and improve sharing and productivity

Effortless multi-Gigabit networking
Easily upgrade or extend your home or small business network

Compact Metal Housing
Sturdy, compact metal housing with fanless design for silent operation

Energy Efficient Design
Automatic power saving features to reduce power usage

Plug-and-pay convenience.
The DMS-108 is a plug-and-play device that requires no configuration to get started. Plug-and-play makes it easy to instantly create a network without any technical knowledge.

Effortless traffic optimisation.
With 2.5 Gigabit transfer speeds from every port, you can rapidly transfer files between connected servers and network attached storage (NAS) to computers. The Quality of Service (QoS), and Flow Control features automatically prioritises important data for efficient delivery. And the IGMP Snooping function reduces unwanted multicast traffic so you can enjoy seamless video streaming and IPTV viewing experiences.

Designed for life, built to last.
The DMS-108 has a sturdy and compact metal housing to ensure the product can withstand wider operating temperatures by helping to dissipate heat and reduce stress on internal components.

Energy Saving.
The DMS-108 is designed with energy efficiency in mind. The fanless design eliminates a common point of failure and means the switch can be placed virtually anywhere and operate silently. The Link Status detection feature of the switch saves power by automatically powering down ports that are inactive or not connected, and it supports the IEEE 802.3az Energy-Efficient Ethernet standard.

Ready for Wi-Fi 6.
You can add a Wi-Fi 6 Access Point to your network to any of the 2.5 Gbps ports to maximise throughput and speed. Multi-Gigabit Ethernet eliminates potential bottlenecks with Wi-Fi 6 Access Points, allowing your network to take full advantage of the efficiency and speeds provided by Wi-Fi 6.

How to use

Place the switch in a well-ventilated area and connect each device using standard Ethernet cables to any of the eight 2.5Gbps ports. Connect one port to your router or core network to share internet access across connected devices. Plug power in and let the switch operate automatically; no configuration is required for basic operation. For best performance with Wi‑Fi 6 access points, connect the AP to a 2.5Gbps port to avoid bottlenecks.

Recommendations

Use quality Cat5e or Cat6 cables for optimum 2.5Gbps performance, connect NAS and servers to dedicated 2.5Gbps ports for faster transfers, and ensure the switch is powered on continuously for uninterrupted network services.
