Key Features
-
8 Gigabit Ethernet Ports: Auto-negotiating 10/100/1000 Mbps ports with data transfer speeds up to 2000 Mbps per port (full-duplex), ideal for fast file transfers, online gaming, and 4K streaming
-
QoS Traffic Prioritization: IEEE 802.1p Quality of Service organizes and prioritizes time-sensitive data for efficient delivery, ensuring smooth streaming media, VoIP calling, and online gaming
-
Energy-Efficient Ethernet: IEEE 802.3az EEE cuts power usage up to 80% by throttling idle ports and detecting cable length, reducing energy costs
-
Plug-and-Play Setup: Zero configuration required - auto MDI/MDIX removes crossover-cable guesswork; supports Cat5e, Cat6, and Cat6A UTP cables up to 100 metres
-
Durable Metal Housing: Sturdy metal casing with fanless design ensures quiet operation and efficient heat dissipation for long-term reliability
-
Flexible Mounting Options: Desktop or wall-mount installation with integrated keyhole slots and Kensington Security Slot for physical security
-
IGMP Snooping: Optimizes multicast data streams for bandwidth-intensive applications, improving efficiency and performance
-
Limited Lifetime Warranty: Backed by D-Link's Limited Lifetime Warranty (after registration) and US-based technical support
Professional Performance for Every Network
Whether you're building a home network, expanding an office LAN, or connecting gaming consoles, NAS devices, printers, and cameras, the DGS-108 delivers Gigabit speeds across all 8 ports. The 16 Gbps non-blocking switching engine ensures every connected device gets maximum throughput. Two-colour LED indicators on each port provide instant visual feedback on link status and activity, making troubleshooting simple.
Green Technology & Energy Savings
The DGS-108 is designed with the environment in mind. IEEE 802.3az Energy-Efficient Ethernet (EEE) automatically powers down idle ports when no link is detected or when connected devices are shut down. The switch also detects cable length and adjusts power consumption accordingly, using only as much power as necessary. Built-in surge and ESD protection (±4 kV) safeguards the switch from everyday power spikes, ensuring long-term reliability.
Ideal Applications
-
Home Offices & SOHO: Connect laptops, desktops, printers, NAS, smart TVs, and VoIP phones for seamless productivity and entertainment
-
Small to Medium Businesses: Expand network connectivity for workstations, servers, Point of Sale systems, and digital signage
-
Gaming & Streaming: Low-latency Gigabit connections for lag-free online gaming, 4K streaming, and large file transfers
-
Smart Home Hubs: Connect mesh nodes, Wi-Fi access points, security cameras, and IoT devices with reliable wired connectivity
