The D-Link DGS-1018P 18-Port Gigabit Unmanaged PoE Switch offers an economical way for SOHO and Small-to-Medium Businesses (SMB) to take advantage of Gigabit Ethernet speeds, while reducing energy consumption and minimizing noise output.

Gigabit Connectivity

The DGS-1018P brings the speed of Gigabit Ethernet to all ports for a truly high-speed network. If your network has a mix of legacy and modern connection interfaces, each port allows for standard Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, or Gigabit Ethernet connections. You have the latest technology available to every computer and device connected to your network.

Improved Network Efficiency

The DGS-1018P incorporates several advanced features to help simplify and improve network management and efficiency. Flow Control throttles connections to ensure reliability during heavy usage periods by reducing packet loss and wasteful data retransmission. In addition, Storm Control and Port Isolation mitigate the effects of broadcast storms caused by rogue software and malware, which can propagate across the network and bring communication to a standstill.

Innovative Design

The DGS-1018P allows users to quickly enable or disable key port features via the built-in DIP switch to adapt to network needs, including flow control, port isolation & storm control, PD alive, and Extend transmission mode, allowing fast and easy onsite configuration without having to access the web UI. The DGS-1018P also features a durable, compact metal case alongside a smart fan design allowing for improved heat dissipation. The DGS-1018P is rack-mountable and ideal for any business with demanding requirements and a small budget.

Green Technology

The DGS-1018P helps conserve energy automatically through several methods. Link status detection automatically powers down ports that have no link, allowing the switches to save substantial amounts of power by cutting power usage for unused ports or any ports connected to computers that have been shut down. Energy-Efficient Ethernet (EEE) conserves energy by dynamically reducing power consumption when data activity is low. These environmentally friendly switches are also RoHS compliant, use recyclable packaging, and minimize the use of harmful substances. These green features combined, provide more energy savings and a longer product life, without sacrificing operational performance or functionality.
