D-Link DES-1008C/B 8-Port Fast Ethernet Switch Features in Kenya

8 Fast Ethernet Ports

The DES-1008C/B provides eight 10/100 Mbps RJ-45 Ethernet ports for connecting computers, printers, smart TVs, gaming consoles, network storage and other wired devices. It provides a straightforward solution for adding additional Ethernet connections to an existing router or network.

Up to 200 Mbps Full-Duplex Performance

Each Fast Ethernet port can operate at up to 100 Mbps in each direction simultaneously when using full-duplex mode, providing an aggregate bidirectional throughput of up to 200 Mbps per port.

1.6 Gbps Switching Capacity

With a total switching capacity of 1.6 Gbps, the DES-1008C/B efficiently handles traffic across its eight Ethernet ports for everyday applications such as internet access, file sharing, printing and media connectivity.

Plug-and-Play Installation

The unmanaged design requires no software installation or network configuration. Simply connect the switch to your router or existing network and attach Ethernet-enabled devices to expand your wired network immediately.

Auto-Negotiation on Every Port

Each port automatically detects whether the connected device supports 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps Ethernet and selects the appropriate connection speed and duplex mode for reliable communication.

Auto MDI/MDIX Support

Auto MDI/MDIX functionality automatically detects the required Ethernet connection type on every port, eliminating the need for crossover cables and making installation easier when connecting different network devices.

Store-and-Forward Switching

The switch uses store-and-forward technology to inspect Ethernet frames before forwarding them to their destination. This helps prevent corrupted packets from being transmitted across the network and contributes to reliable communication.

IEEE 802.3x Flow Control

IEEE 802.3x flow control helps regulate data transmission during periods of network congestion, reducing packet loss and maintaining more consistent communication between connected devices.

Energy Efficient Ethernet

IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet helps reduce unnecessary power consumption when network links are inactive or experiencing low activity, making the DES-1008C/B economical for continuous home and office operation.

Compact Desktop Design

The lightweight and compact enclosure requires minimal desk space and can be conveniently positioned close to routers, computers, entertainment equipment or other network devices.

Silent Fanless Operation

A fanless cooling design provides completely quiet operation while eliminating moving components, making the switch suitable for bedrooms, offices, reception areas, classrooms and other noise-sensitive environments.

UK Power Adapter Included

The DES-1008C/B is supplied with a compatible UK-style power adapter, making it convenient for deployment in Kenya and other locations using compatible Type G electrical outlets.
