Unmanaged Switch D-Link DMS-108P/E 8-Port 2.5G PoE++ 40 Gbit/s

The D-Link DMS-108P/E is an unmanaged 8-port 2.5G Ethernet switch with a 40 Gbit/s switching capacity and a 230W PoE budget. Designed for small to medium networks, it supports IEEE 802.3bt (PoE++) providing up to 90W per port, IGMP snooping for multicast efficiency, and a fanless metal housing for silent and reliable operation. The switch includes features such as 802.1p QoS, IEEE 802.3x flow control and Energy Efficient Ethernet (802.3az) to optimize performance and power consumption.

Advantages

The DMS-108P/E delivers multi-gigabit connectivity through eight 2.5G RJ-45 ports, enabling higher throughput without re-cabling. Its IEEE 802.3bt PoE++ support and 230W total power budget allow powering of high-demand devices such as Wi‑Fi 6 access points and PTZ cameras. IGMP snooping and QoS reduce network congestion and prioritize time-sensitive traffic, while the fanless metal design ensures silent operation and durable build quality.

Suitable for

• Deployments with Wi‑Fi 6 access points requiring 2.5G backhaul
• IP surveillance with PTZ or high-power cameras
• Small to medium enterprise or branch office networks
• PoE-powered kiosks, LED lighting systems, and networked devices

How to use

Place the switch on a stable surface or mount it according to site requirements and connect power using the included DC power supply. Connect network devices to the 2.5G RJ-45 ports; PoE-capable ports will automatically provide power to compatible PDs following IEEE PoE standards. The switch is unmanaged and requires no configuration—devices obtain connectivity immediately after cabling. For Wi‑Fi 6 APs, connect the AP uplink to a 2.5G port to avoid Gigabit bottlenecks.

Recommendations

For optimal performance with Wi‑Fi 6 access points, connect AP uplinks to the 2.5G ports and verify attached devices support the required PoE class. Use IGMP snooping for multicast-heavy deployments (IPTV, surveillance) and enable QoS on connected devices where applicable to prioritize latency-sensitive traffic.
