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

Long-Reach PoE with Greater Network Control The D-Link DGS-F1210-26PS-E combines 24 Gigabit PoE access ports with two Gigabit SFP uplinks in one practical network switch. It is designed for installations where cameras, access points or other compatible devices need both connectivity and power, while the uplink carries traffic back towards the recorder or wider network. A 230W shared PoE budget helps bring the power plan into the same place as the cabling. Long Reach PoE supports suitable cable runs of up to 250M at 10 Mbps on the designated ports. Standard Ethernet distances and link rates remain the right choice for higher-bandwidth devices. Web, CLI and monitoring tools provide control over VLANs, port behaviour and traffic priorities. Plan the device demand, cable quality and uplink capacity together for a dependable result.

Combining data and power can reduce the need for a separate socket next to every camera or access point. The shared 230W budget applies to the whole switch, so the number of devices that can run together depends on their actual maximum power demand rather than the port count alone. Reach the More Distant Connection Ports 1–8 support the documented long-range function. In this mode, a suitable link can reach up to 250M at 10 Mbps using Cat5e or better cabling. Cable construction, voltage drop and the powered device still affect operation. Use normal-distance links for equipment needing higher throughput, and validate a long run with the intended device before completing the installation. Give Traffic a Clear Route Back 2 × Gigabit SFP slots; optical modules selected separately Choose compatible Gigabit optics for the fibre type and distance at each end; modules are separate accessories. Add the expected camera streams or other device traffic when sizing the uplink to the recorder or upstream network. Keep Installation Controls Useful DIP-switch Extend, port isolation, QoS and PoE watchdog shortcuts plus web/CLI management. The managed interface adds deliberate VLAN configuration, link aggregation and monitoring beyond the front-panel shortcuts. This is a Layer 2 access switch rather than an internet router. Keep the configuration and physical switch position accessible for maintenance. Reduce Routine Recovery Work The documented PoE recovery function can power-cycle an unresponsive connected device, helping with some faults that would otherwise need a local restart. It does not replace investigating repeated device, cabling or power problems. Published 6 kV surge protection provides another layer of equipment protection, while sound earthing, suitable cable routing and appropriate site protection remain part of the installation. Plan the Complete Installation 52 Gbps of published switching capacity supports the access and uplink arrangement shown in the specifications. 1 fan; published acoustic level 35 dB(A). Allow ventilation around the fan-cooled rackmount chassis. The product carries a 3-year warranty. Summary The DGS-F1210-26PS-E is a practical way to combine Gigabit access, 230W of shared PoE power and a planned route back to the network. Its long-range mode is useful for suitable low-bandwidth links, while the standard ports and uplinks support the normal installation. Managed VLAN, monitoring and resilience tools add control as the site grows. Match the connected devices and cabling to the required reach and power budget. Frequently Asked Questions Does 250M Mean Full-Speed Ethernet?ExpandCollapse No. The documented Long Reach PoE mode operates at 10 Mbps at distances up to 250M on ports 1–8. Normal link rates apply within standard Ethernet distances. Cable quality and the powered device affect the result, so test the intended long-run combination. How Much Power Can the Switch Supply?ExpandCollapse The shared PoE output budget is 230W. IEEE 802.3af/at devices can use up to the documented per-port limit, normally 30W for PoE+. The total demand of all connected devices must stay within the shared budget. Which Connections Are the Uplinks?ExpandCollapse 2 × Gigabit SFP slots; optical modules selected separately Choose compatible optical modules separately; the SFP slots do not power remote devices. Is This a Managed or Cloud Switch?ExpandCollapse This is a Layer 2 smart managed switch with web GUI, CLI and SNMP management. It supports VLANs, link aggregation, spanning-tree protocols and monitoring functions. Free D-Lite Cloud management is not claimed for this model. Can PoE Recovery Fix Every Camera Fault?ExpandCollapse No. The recovery feature can restart a supported unresponsive powered device. It cannot repair faulty cabling, resolve every application fault or guarantee continuous recording. Investigate repeated restarts and confirm that the device is suitable for the selected recovery mode. What Should Be Checked Before Installation?ExpandCollapse Check the maximum power demand, cable length and construction, uplink throughput, power supply and indoor ventilation. Select compatible SFP optics separately. The warranty is 3 years. Read more
