D-Link DGS-F1026P-E 26-Port Gigabit PoE+ Switch with 8 Long Reach 250m Ports
The D-Link DGS-F1026P-E is a robust and cost-effective 26-port Gigabit PoE+ switch designed for small to medium businesses, surveillance installations, and network expansion. Featuring 24 Gigabit PoE+ ports with a generous 250W total power budget, this unmanaged switch delivers up to 30W per port to power IP cameras, wireless access points, VoIP phones, and other PoE-enabled devices. What sets the DGS-F1026P-E apart is its long-reach PoE technology on ports 1-8, extending power and data connectivity up to 250 meters using Cat5e or Cat6 cable, ideal for surveillance camera deployments in large properties, warehouses, and outdoor installations across Australia.

Plug-and-play operation: No configuration required, instant deployment
Extended Range PoE Technology
Equipped with PoE extend technology, the DGS-F1026P-E enables ports 1-8 to supply IEEE 802.3af/at Power over Ethernet and Gigabit data connectivity on cables up to 250 metres long. This is perfect for surveillance camera systems, outdoor wireless access points, and remote network devices where standard 100-metre Ethernet limitations would require additional switches or power sources. Ports 9-24 provide standard Gigabit PoE+ up to 100 metres. This flexibility makes the DGS-F1026P-E ideal for Australian businesses, schools, retail stores, warehouses, and construction sites requiring long-distance camera and network coverage.
Heavy-Duty Surge Protection
The DGS-F1026P-E switch is enhanced with 6kV surge protection, effectively safeguarding the switch and connected devices against sudden electrical surges caused by lightning strikes or unstable electrical current. This built-in protection significantly reduces equipment damage risk and lowers maintenance costs by minimising the need for expensive repairs or replacements. Essential for outdoor surveillance installations and harsh Australian climates.
Smart Operating Modes via DIP Switch
The DGS-F1026P-E features 4 smart operating modes controlled via DIP switch for easy on-site configuration without software:
-
Extend Mode: Enables ports 1-8 to support 250m long-distance PoE (at 10Mbps)
-
VLAN Mode: Isolates ports 1-24 from each other to suppress network storms and improve security
-
QoS Mode: Prioritises video and VoIP data for smoother transmission
-
AI PoE Mode: Automatically detects unresponsive PoE devices and reboots them for recovery
Versatile Connectivity
The DGS-F1026P-E provides comprehensive connectivity options:
- 24 × 10/100/1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ ports (RJ45)
- 2 × SFP uplink ports for fibre optic expansion and high-speed backbone connections
- Auto MDI/MDI-X support eliminates the need for crossover cables
- Auto-negotiation on all ports for seamless device compatibility
- Wire-speed filtering and store-and-forward switching for maximum performance
Perfect for Surveillance and Business Networks
The DGS-F1026P-E is the ideal PoE switch for IP camera and CCTV surveillance systems in Australia. With long-reach PoE, high power budget, QoS for video prioritisation, and surge protection, it delivers reliable performance for security installations. It's equally suited for powering wireless access points, VoIP phone systems, and network expansion in offices, schools, retail stores, hotels, warehouses, and construction sites.
