Power Over Ethernet for Seamless Deployment
The DGS-F1210-26PS-E eliminates the need for dedicated power adapters by delivering both data and power over a single Ethernet cable. Supporting IEEE 802.3af (PoE) and 802.3at (PoE+) standards, the switch provides up to 30 watts per port with a total power budget of 250 watts. This makes it perfect for powering IP surveillance cameras, wireless access points, VoIP phones, and other network devices in locations where AC outlets are unavailable or impractical.
Long Range PoE for Extended Installations
One of the standout features of the DGS-F1210-26PS-E is its long-range PoE capability. Ports 1-8 support PoE transmission distances up to 250 meters when using Cat5e or Cat6 cable in Extend Mode, far exceeding the standard 100-meter Ethernet limit. This is especially beneficial for surveillance systems, outdoor wireless deployments, and campus networks where devices need to be installed across large areas.
Advanced Smart Managed Features
Designed for network administrators who need control without complexity, the DGS-F1210-26PS-E offers comprehensive Layer 2 management capabilities:
-
VLAN Support: Segment your network for improved security and traffic management
-
Quality of Service (QoS): Prioritize voice, video, and critical business applications
-
Access Control Lists (ACLs): Restrict access to sensitive network resources
-
IGMP Snooping: Optimize multicast traffic for video streaming and conferencing
-
Spanning Tree Protocol (STP/RSTP/MSTP): Prevent network loops and ensure redundancy
-
Link Aggregation (LACP): Combine multiple ports for increased bandwidth and failover protection
-
Port Mirroring: Monitor and troubleshoot network traffic in real-time
-
Static Routing (L2+): Enable inter-VLAN communication without a separate router
Flexible Operating Modes via DIP Switches
The DGS-F1210-26PS-E features convenient DIP switches that allow users to quickly configure the switch for specific use cases:
-
Extend Mode: Activates 250-meter long-range PoE on ports 1-8
-
VLAN Mode: Isolates ports 1-24 from each other to suppress broadcast storms and enhance performance
-
QoS Mode: Automatically prioritizes application traffic for VoIP and video
-
PoE Watchdog Mode: Detects unresponsive PoE devices and automatically power cycles them to restore connectivity
High-Performance Switching
With a 52 Gbps switching capacity and a packet forwarding rate of 38.7 Mpps, the DGS-F1210-26PS-E ensures smooth, high-speed data transfer across all ports. The switch supports IEEE 802.3x flow control to prevent data loss during periods of heavy traffic, and features auto MDI/MDIX on all ports for plug-and-play installation without crossover cables.
Reliable and Secure Design
Built with a durable metal housing and designed for continuous operation, the DGS-F1210-26PS-E includes 6kV surge protection on all ports to safeguard your network against electrical spikes and lightning strikes. The fanless design ensures silent, energy-efficient operation, making it suitable for office environments. Operating temperature ranges from 0°C to 40°C with up to 90% humidity tolerance.
Easy Management and Monitoring
The switch offers multiple management options including a web-based GUI, command-line interface (CLI) via console port, and SNMP support for integration with network management systems. LED indicators for Power, System, Link/Activity, and PoE status provide instant visual feedback on switch and port operation. The switch also supports Auto Voice VLAN and Surveillance Mode, which automatically detect and prioritize voice and video traffic.
Ideal for Surveillance and IP Camera Networks
The combination of high PoE power budget, long-range transmission, and surveillance-optimized features makes the DGS-F1210-26PS-E an excellent choice for IP camera installations. Connect up to 24 PoE cameras, prioritize video traffic with QoS, isolate camera ports with VLAN mode, and monitor system health remotely - all from a single, cost-effective switch.
