D-Link DGS-1530-28SC 28-Port Gigabit Stackable Fibre Switch

A Fibre-Focused Edge With Stackable Control The DGS-1530-28SC connects fibre-rich business networks with 20 Gigabit SFP ports, four Gigabit copper/SFP combo ports and four 10G SFP+ uplinks. It suits aggregation and access designs where fibre reach matters while a small number of copper connections remain useful. Physical stacking of up to nine compatible units provides a manageable expansion path. VLANs, access controls, static routing and network-diagnostic functions support a deliberate configuration, while the non-PoE design serves equipment that is powered separately. Highlights Fibre and Copper 20 × Gigabit SFP plus 4 × Gigabit GE/SFP combo ports. 4 × 10G SFP+ uplinks. 128 Gbps switching capacity and up to 95.24 Mpps forwarding. Stackable Control Physical stacking of up to nine compatible units. IPv4/IPv6 static routing and VLANs. Web UI, CLI, SNMP and Ethernet OAM. Installation 19-inch rackmount or desktop installation. Two smart fans and optional redundant power support. 5-year warranty. Key Features Fibre Where Distance Matters Twenty dedicated Gigabit SFP slots support separately chosen optical connections. Four additional combo ports provide a choice of Gigabit copper or SFP per port, making the switch useful where a fibre distribution point also needs a few local copper links. Match transceiver type and fibre distance to each connection. Understand the Combo-Port Layout Each of the four combo positions is one logical port with copper and fibre alternatives. Both alternatives are not additional simultaneous ports. This gives the switch 24 Gigabit access ports in total, alongside four 10G uplinks, rather than treating every visible connector as another independently usable port. Move Aggregated Traffic Over 10GbE Four SFP+ slots provide 10GbE uplink options for compatible core, server and storage connections. Supported optical modules or direct-attach cables are selected separately. Plan the uplinks together with any stacking links, since ports assigned to the stack are not then available as ordinary network uplinks. Expand as a Managed Stack Up to nine compatible switches can form a physical stack. A consistent configuration and supported firmware simplify expansion and administration, while spanning tree, link aggregation and ERPS support planned resilient topologies. Commission the complete network and test failover rather than relying on a second cable alone. Make Network Policy Visible VLANs, ACLs, 802.1X and related access controls help separate services and restrict connections. IPv4 and IPv6 static routing can connect selected local networks. Browser administration, CLI, SNMP and Ethernet OAM provide tools for maintenance and diagnosis without replacing the upstream firewall or security policy. Specify the Complete Rack Installation The switch includes rack-mounting brackets and uses two smart fans. A compatible optional external redundant power supply and its required cable can be added to a planned installation. Optical modules, fibre patch leads and stacking cables are separate, and the switch does not provide PoE output. Summary The DGS-1530-28SC offers fibre-focused Gigabit access, flexible combo ports and 10GbE uplinks with stackable management. It suits networks that need organised optical connectivity without a PoE power system, with optics and redundancy specified for the site. Frequently Asked Questions How Many Access Ports Can Be Used at Once?ExpandCollapse There are 20 dedicated Gigabit SFP ports and four Gigabit combo ports, giving 24 Gigabit access ports. Each combo port uses either copper or SFP, not both simultaneously. Four additional SFP+ slots provide 10GbE uplinks. Are Optical Modules Included?ExpandCollapse No. Select supported SFP/SFP+ modules or direct-attach cables for the required connection type, fibre and distance. Does It Supply PoE?ExpandCollapse No. This is a non-PoE switch. Connected devices need their own power arrangement. Can Several Switches Form a Stack?ExpandCollapse Yes. The manufacturer specifies physical stacking of up to nine compatible units. Check the supported firmware and stacking cables and allow for ports used in the stack. Does It Support Local Routing?ExpandCollapse Yes. IPv4 and IPv6 static routing is supported, with up to 64 IPv4 and 32 IPv6 static routes. This is not the full dynamic-routing feature set of a different enterprise model. Is Redundant Power Included?ExpandCollapse No. A compatible external redundant power supply and the required connection cable are optional. The normal switch offer includes its internal AC power supply. Read more
