D-Link DXS-F108T 8-Port 10GbE Smart Managed Desktop Switch

Bring 10GbE to Every Port in a Managed Desktop Network The D-Link DXS-F108T is a 8-port 10gbe smart managed switch for a storage-intensive team connecting 10GbE workstations, servers and NAS systems. Copper Ethernet connectivity lets compatible devices share a faster wired network without adding optical transceivers. Web management adds practical control over traffic, VLANs and ports. It suits a network that needs more than extra sockets, with configuration and diagnostic tools available from a browser. Highlights Connections That Match Your Network 8 × 100/1000/2500/5000/10000Mbps RJ45 160 Gbps switching capacity Automatic negotiation accommodates supported slower Ethernet devices Practical Everyday Operation One fan; desktop installation Browser-based configuration with VLAN and QoS controls Non-PoE network ports Built for a Tidy Workspace 320 × 207 × 45 mm chassis AC 100–240V 50/60Hz; manufacturer lists DC 12V / 8A power specification 3-year warranty Key Features Choose Faster Wired Links Where They Matter Use the available port speeds for local file transfers, storage access and compatible access points. A faster switch link is useful when both connected devices and the rest of the data path can support it. Internet speed remains limited by the broadband service and router. Make Traffic Easier to Organise IEEE 802.1Q VLAN functions support a more organised network when configured alongside compatible upstream equipment. QoS and port controls help you allocate priorities and inspect links. This is Layer 2 switching; it does not replace a router, firewall or wireless access point. Keep Installation Straightforward Use suitable cabling and 10GbE-capable network adapters for the 10G connections. Lower-speed devices can remain on their supported links. Actual transfer performance also depends on storage speed, endpoint capability and the cable installation. Keep Configuration and Fault-Finding Accessible Port statistics, configuration backup and firmware management support day-to-day administration. Keep a saved configuration and follow an organised change process when using VLANs or aggregation so that management access remains available. Choose the Right Device for the Job DXS-F108T provides wired switching, not Wi-Fi or PoE power. Choose this model when its port mix and browser-based controls meet the network design. Summary Choose the D-Link DXS-F108T for a storage-intensive team connecting 10GbE workstations, servers and NAS systems. Its managed controls and carefully chosen port mix provide a practical foundation for the wired network, with performance matched to compatible equipment and cabling. Frequently Asked Questions What ports does the DXS-F108T provide?ExpandCollapse 8 × 100/1000/2500/5000/10000Mbps RJ45. Each connection negotiates a supported speed with the attached device. Is this a managed or unmanaged switch?ExpandCollapse It is a smart managed Layer 2 switch with a browser-based management interface. VLANs, QoS and other port functions can be configured for the network. Will it increase my broadband speed?ExpandCollapse It can improve supported local wired links, but it does not change the speed of your internet plan. Internet and file-transfer performance also depend on the router, cable, network adapter and connected storage. Can it power cameras or wireless access points?ExpandCollapse No. These are non-PoE data ports. A device requiring PoE needs an appropriately rated injector or PoE switch, or its own supported power adapter. What should I check before connecting my devices?ExpandCollapse Check the Ethernet speeds supported by your devices, use suitable network cabling and keep the switch ventilated. A compatible router is still required for internet access. Is it fanless and what warranty is provided?ExpandCollapse One fan; desktop installation. A 3-year warranty is provided. 続きを読む
