D-Link DGS-F1210-26MPS-E 26-Port Gigabit Smart Managed PoE+ Switch

Power and Network Control for a Larger Camera Installation The DGS-F1210-26MPS-E combines 24 Gigabit PoE+ ports with two Gigabit SFP uplinks for cameras, wireless access points and IP phones. Its 380W shared PoE budget provides a practical power base for a planned installation. Smart management adds VLANs, link aggregation and access controls, with a browser interface and CLI for administration. Eight ports support extended-distance PoE operation up to 250 m where suitable for the endpoint and cabling. Extended mode reduces data rate; it is not Gigabit Ethernet over 250 m. Highlights Ports and Power 24 × 10/100/1000Mbps PoE+ ports. 2 × Gigabit SFP slots; modules purchased separately. 380W shared PoE budget; up to 30W per port. Useful Installation Tools Long Reach PoE on eight ports, up to 250 m in reduced-speed mode. Port isolation, priority settings and PoE recovery functions. 6kV surge protection; appropriate grounding and protection remain required. Operation Managed VLAN, LACP and spanning-tree controls. Internal universal AC supply and rackmount design. 3-year warranty. Key Features Supply Data and Power Together IEEE 802.3af/at PoE+ can power compatible endpoints through the same cable used for network data. Up to 30W per port is available within a 380W shared budget. Add the actual endpoint demands and allow headroom rather than multiplying the maximum rating by every port. Keep Uplinks Separate Two Gigabit SFP slots connect to supported optical modules chosen for the required fibre and distance. These are 1Gbps uplinks, not SFP+ 10GbE ports. Transceivers and fibre patch leads are separate. Reach Appropriate Distant Endpoints Long Reach mode supports selected suitable PoE installations up to 250 m with appropriate cabling. The mode reduces the port data rate to 10Mbps, so check the camera or endpoint bandwidth and power needs before using it. Normal Gigabit links follow standard Ethernet channel limits. Make Fault Recovery Easier The PoE recovery function monitors a powered device and can restart power to a device that stops responding. It is an installation aid, not a guarantee against every endpoint fault. Test the chosen setting with the connected cameras or access points before relying on automatic restarts. Apply the Right Network Controls VLANs, access controls, LACP and spanning-tree functions support a planned managed network. Browser and CLI access help administrators configure and diagnose the installation. Restrict management access and test redundant links; a managed switch does not replace the upstream firewall. Install for the Real Environment The rackmount enclosure uses three cooling fans and an internal 100–240 V AC supply. Allow ventilation and consider the published 45 dB(A) acoustics when choosing a rack location. Keep the switch within its specified indoor temperature and humidity range. Summary The DGS-F1210-26MPS-E brings Gigabit endpoint connections and a 380W shared PoE+ budget to managed rack installations. Plan endpoint power, uplinks and extended-distance settings together for a practical surveillance or business network. Frequently Asked Questions How Many Devices Can Receive PoE?ExpandCollapse 24 copper access ports support IEEE 802.3af/at PoE+, up to 30W per port within the 380W total budget. The two uplinks are separate from these powered access ports. Does 250 m Mode Keep Gigabit Speed?ExpandCollapse No. Extended-distance mode reduces the data rate to 10Mbps. Confirm that the endpoint bandwidth, cable and power needs suit this mode before installation. Are the Uplinks Fibre or Copper?ExpandCollapse Two Gigabit SFP slots accept separately selected supported transceivers. They are not 10GbE SFP+ ports. Can I Configure VLANs?ExpandCollapse Yes. This smart managed model supports VLAN configuration, alongside link aggregation and other network controls. Is the Power Supply Included?ExpandCollapse The switch uses a built-in 100–240 V AC supply. Can It Be Installed Outdoors?ExpandCollapse The switch is intended for a suitable protected indoor installation. Its surge protection does not establish a waterproof outdoor rating. Keep within the specified environmental limits and provide appropriate grounding. Magbasa pa
