The DGS-1008P PoE Gigabit Desktop switch 
provides a cost-effective way for office 
users to easily connect and supply power to 
Power over Ethernet (PoE) devices such as 
wireless access points (APs), IP cameras, and 
IP phones. It also provides the opportunity 
to add additional Ethernet devices like 
computers, printers, and Network Attached 
Storage (NAS) onto a network. This compact 
PoE switch is equipped with Gigabit ports for 
faster speeds and operates quietly, making it 
ideal for use in virtually any room or office.  
In addition, D-Link’s Green Ethernet 
technology saves power when the switch  
is active and inactive.  
Plug and Play Power over Ethernet (PoE)
The first four ports of the DGS-1008P support 
the IEEE 802.3af PoE standard. Each of these 
four ports can supply up to 15.4 Watts, 
making it a very convenient solution for 
applications that are far away from power 
outlets, or when it is necessary to minimise 
the clutter of extra power supplies. The 
switch will automatically detect the power 
that a connected PoE device requires so 
no configuration is needed. A failsafe 
mechanism will cut off the power in case of 
an unexpected PoE overload, protecting both 
the switch and the connected device.
Cable diagnostics function
Every time the DGS-1008P is powered up, 
it runs a micro diagnostics routine to check 
the integrity of the connected Ethernet 
cables. If a failure is detected, the switch 
will flag it by means of its front panel LEDs, 
making it easy for the user to troubleshoot 
wiring problems.
QoS (Quality of Service)
Despite being an unmanaged, Plug and  
Play switch, the DGS-1008P is able to classify 
network traffic by assessing the existing 
802.1p and DSCP fields in the Ethernet 
frames and IP packets respectively, and 
forward traffic from its ports depending 
on their priority.  This allows for a smooth 
integration of video, voice and data traffic 
without delays or loss of quality.
Auto MDI/MDIX crossover 
All ports support automatic MDI/MDIX 
crossover, eliminating the need for crossover 
cables or uplink ports. Each port can be 
plugged directly to a server, hub, router,  
or switch using regular straight-through 
twisted-pair Ethernet cables.
 
Power-saving technology
The DGS-1008P 8-Port Gigabit Switch 
makes use of D-Link Green™ eco-friendly 
technology, providing energy savings, 
reduced power consumption, and a 
longer product life without sacrificing 
operational performance or functionality. 
This switch helps to conserve energy through 
methods such as Link Status and Cable 
Length Detection. The Link Status feature 
automatically powers down ports that 
have no activity on their links, allowing 
the switch to save substantial amounts of 
energy by cutting power for unused ports 
or ports connected to computers that 
have been shut down. It can also detect 
connected cable lengths, and adjust power 
usage accordingly, helping you save energy 
without affecting networking performance. 
In addition, the fan-less design extends the 
product’s lifespan and also reduces noise.
