52 High-Speed Gigabit Ports: 48 x RJ-45 Gigabit Ethernet ports plus 4 x combo Gigabit SFP ports for flexible uplink and optical fibre connectivity
-
Advanced Layer 2+ Management: Smart managed switch with VLAN support, QoS, IGMP snooping, static routing, link aggregation (LACP), and Spanning Tree Protocol for efficient traffic management
-
Surveillance Mode with ONVIF Support: Automatically detects and segments IP cameras into a dedicated surveillance VLAN for streamlined video surveillance deployments
-
Energy-Efficient & Silent Operation: D-Link Green 3.0 technology with IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet, port shutoff, LED control, and fanless design for zero noise
-
Comprehensive Security Features: Access Control Lists (ACLs), 802.1X authentication, ARP spoofing prevention, D-Link Safeguard Engine, and DHCP server screening
-
Flexible Management Options: Web-based GUI, SNMP, CLI via Telnet, D-Link Network Assistant utility, and optional Nuclias Connect cloud management
High-Performance Gigabit Switching
With a 104 Gbps switching capacity and 77.4 Mpps packet forwarding rate, the DGS-1210-52 ensures fast, reliable connectivity for up to 48 devices simultaneously. All ports support auto-negotiation for 10/100/1000 Mbps speeds and full duplex operation, delivering 2000 Mbps throughput per port for bandwidth-intensive applications like file transfers, video streaming, and database access.
Layer 2+ Smart Management
The DGS-1210-52 provides advanced Layer 2 features with Layer 3 Lite static routing capabilities. Network administrators can create up to 256 VLANs for traffic segmentation, implement Quality of Service (QoS) for prioritising critical applications, and use link aggregation to combine multiple ports for increased bandwidth and redundancy. Static routing allows inter-VLAN communication without requiring an external router, improving network efficiency.
Optimised for Surveillance & VoIP
The switch features Auto Surveillance VLAN technology that automatically detects ONVIF-compliant IP cameras and places them into a dedicated surveillance VLAN, simplifying IP surveillance network deployments. Auto Voice VLAN detects VoIP traffic and segments it for enhanced security and QoS application. This makes the DGS-1210-52 ideal for converged networks handling voice, video, and data on a single switch.
Energy Savings & Fanless Design
D-Link Green 3.0 technology reduces power consumption through multiple mechanisms: IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet automatically lowers power usage during periods of low network traffic, while cable length detection reduces power on shorter cable runs. Time-based port scheduling allows administrators to power down unused ports during off-hours. The fanless design ensures completely silent operation, making it perfect for office environments, classrooms, and other noise-sensitive locations.
Robust Network Security
Protect your network with comprehensive security features including 802.1X port-based authentication via external RADIUS servers, Access Control Lists (ACLs) for MAC and IP address filtering, ARP spoofing prevention to block malicious attacks, and DHCP server screening to prevent rogue DHCP servers. The proprietary D-Link Safeguard Engine protects against traffic flooding caused by denial-of-service attacks.
Versatile Connectivity Options
-
48 x 10/100/1000BASE-T RJ-45 ports: Auto-MDI/MDIX, auto-negotiation, full/half duplex
-
4 x Gigabit combo ports: Choice of RJ-45 or SFP for optical fibre uplinks using multimode or singlemode SFP transceivers
-
1 x Console port: For CLI management via Telnet
Easy Network Management
The DGS-1210-52 offers multiple management interfaces to suit your environment. The intuitive web-based GUI works with any modern browser, while SNMP v1/v2c/v3 enables integration with network management systems. The D-Link Network Assistant utility auto-discovers switches on the same L2 network segment for quick configuration. For advanced users, the switch supports a compact command-line interface (CLI) via Telnet. Optional Nuclias Connect software provides centralised cloud or on-premises management for up to 1,500 devices.
Network Diagnostics & Maintenance
Built-in diagnostic tools simplify troubleshooting and network maintenance. Loopback Detection automatically identifies and shuts down ports creating network loops, while Cable Diagnostics can detect cable faults, determine cable quality, and identify the approximate location of cable breaks or shorts. The switch also supports port mirroring for traffic monitoring and analysis.
