D-Link DGS-105 Ethernet Switch

D-Link DGS-105 Ethernet Switch

5 Ports – 2 Layer Supported – 3.10 W Power Consumption – Twisted Pair – Desktop – 3 Year Limited Warranty

The DGS-105/108 5/8-Port Gigabit Unmanaged Desktop Switch are ideally suited for Small Office Home Office (SOHO), Small Medium Business (SMB), and Small Medium Enterprise (SME) environments. With a durable design, silent operation, and plug-and-play functionality, the DGS-105/108 switches can be easily set up and be placed in almost any location where network connectivity is required. Support for IEEE 802.3az Energy-Efficient Ethernet (EEE), Layer 2 Quality of Service (QoS), and Gigabit Ethernet connection speeds provide advanced features in a compact package.
Robust Design

The DGS-105/108 are designed with durability and performance in mind. Their sturdy metal housing ensures the product can withstand extreme temperatures and can be placed in typical industrial environments such as factories, construction and mining. They help to dissipate heat and reduce stress on internal components.

Integrated Networking

The DGS-105/108 switches use auto-sensing 10/100/1000 Mbps ports, allowing a small workgroup to flexibly connect Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, and Gigabit devices to create an integrated network. These ports detect the network speed and auto-negotiate between 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX at full and half-duplex, and 1000BASE-TX at full duplex, allowing you to get the maximum speed possible for each device connected to your network.

Simplified Installation

All of the ports on the DGS-105/108 switches support automatic MDI/MDIX crossover, eliminating the need for crossover cables or uplink ports. Each port can be plugged in directly to a server, hub, router, or switch using regular straight-through twisted-pair Ethernet cables. In addition, the DGS-105/108 switches feature multiple front-facing, easy-to-access Ethernet ports with two colour LED indicators per port to easily distinguish link status.

Green Technology

The DGS-105/108 switches feature green technology, such as IEEE 802.3az Energy-Efficient Ethernet (EEE), link status detection, and cable length detection. Energy-Efficient Ethernet reduces power consumption of the switch when network utilisation is low, reducing the cost of ownership during periods of inactivity. Link status detection automatically powers down ports when there is no link detected, saving power when the connected device has been shut down or disconnected. Cable length detection automatically adjusts the power output of the port based on the length of the cable, reducing the power requirements of the switch to only what is necessary for the installation.

Traffic Management

The DGS-105/108 switches include traffic management features, such as IEEE 802.1p Quality of Service (QoS) and IEEE 802.3x Flow Control. The 802.1p QoS feature allows traffic to be classified in 8 priority levels, allowing different types of traffic to be prioritised, depending on their importance. Flow Control signals to clients when the switch’s input buffer is full, helping to minimise dropped packets and providing a more reliable connection for all of your connected devices.
