D-Link DGS-108 8-Port Gigabit Unmanaged Desktop Switch
The D-Link DGS-108 is a silent, metal-cased 8-port Gigabit Ethernet switch that delivers instant, lag-free wired connectivity for home offices, small businesses, and creative workspaces. With a 16 Gbps switching fabric, QoS traffic prioritisation, and Green Ethernet power savings, this switch supports applications ranging from 4K streaming and online gaming to VoIP phones and smart home hubs. The DGS-108 requires zero configuration and features plug-and-play simplicity, making network expansion effortless.
Key Features
-
8 Auto-Negotiating Gigabit Ports: Full/half-duplex operation with speeds up to 2 Gbps per port (1 Gbps up + 1 Gbps down), connecting PCs, consoles, NAS, printers, cameras, and mesh nodes
-
Plug & Play Expansion: Zero setup required with auto MDI/MDIX that eliminates crossover-cable guesswork; handles Cat5e, Cat6, and Cat6A UTP cables up to 100 m
-
Silent Fanless Metal Housing: All-steel chassis dissipates heat naturally for whisper-quiet operation in bedrooms, studios, and offices
-
Smart QoS Prioritisation: IEEE 802.1p traffic classes keep voice, video, and gaming packets smooth, even when the network is busy
-
IGMP Snooping: Efficiently streams 4K/8K video to multiple devices without flooding the entire network, ideal for IPTV and multicast applications
-
Energy-Efficient Ethernet: IEEE 802.3az EEE cuts power usage up to 80% by throttling idle ports and detecting cable length, lowering operational costs
Reliable Performance for Home and Business
With data transfer speeds up to 2000 Mbps on Gigabit Ethernet, the DGS-108 is ideal for transferring large files quickly, smooth streaming media, and online gaming. The switch's 16 Gbps non-blocking switching engine ensures efficient data transfer between all connected devices, while jumbo frame support (9 KB) boosts throughput for large backups and multimedia transfers between NAS and PCs. The DGS-108 also includes cable diagnostics functionality, enabling users to be instantly aware of cable conditions through the LED display on the front panel.
Durable Metal Construction
Designed with durability and performance in mind, the DGS-108 features a sturdy metal housing that can withstand wider operating temperatures by helping to dissipate heat and reduce stress on internal components. The fanless design ensures completely silent operation, making it suitable for noise-sensitive environments such as meeting rooms, home theatres, and workstations.
Flexible Desktop or Wall-Mount Installation
The compact design of the DGS-108 allows placement in most locations, including those where space is at a premium. With included rubber feet and keyhole slots, you can place the switch on a desktop or mount it on a wall exactly where space permits. The switch also features a Kensington Security Slot on the rear panel where users can fasten the unit to a table or desk for added security.
