Professional 10 Gigabit Fiber Connectivity
The DXS-1210-12SC delivers professional-grade networking with 10 x 10G SFP+ fiber ports capable of supporting multimode and single-mode fiber optic cabling, as well as low-cost Direct Attach Copper (DAC) cables. The 2 combo ports offer the choice between 10GBASE-T copper (supporting CAT6a/CAT7 up to 100m, or CAT6 up to 30m) and 10G SFP+ fiber, giving network administrators maximum flexibility when designing or expanding their infrastructure. This makes the switch perfect for upstream server connections, backbone links, and high-bandwidth applications in business environments.
Advanced Layer 2 & Layer 3 Lite Features
Equipped with a comprehensive suite of Layer 2 features, the DXS-1210-12SC includes port mirroring, Spanning Tree Protocol (STP), and Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) for enhanced redundancy and bandwidth. Layer 3 Lite capabilities provide IPv4/IPv6 static routing, ARP, and inter-VLAN routing, reducing the load on routers and improving overall network efficiency. The switch also supports Auto Surveillance VLAN (ASV) and Auto Voice VLAN, making it ideal for video surveillance and VoIP deployments without the need for dedicated hardware.
Enterprise-Grade Security & Network Protection
Security is a top priority with the DXS-1210-12SC. The switch features 802.1X port-based and host-based authentication, allowing network clients to be authenticated through external RADIUS servers. D-Link Safeguard Engine protects against traffic flooding caused by malicious attacks, while ARP spoofing prevention blocks fake ARP messages. Additional security measures include Access Control Lists (ACL) for filtering traffic, DHCP server screening to prevent rogue DHCP servers, and port security for MAC address-based access control.
Energy-Efficient & Reliable Operation
D-Link Green technology makes the DXS-1210-12SC an eco-friendly choice for businesses. Smart fans with internal heat sensors adjust fan speed based on temperature, reducing power consumption and noise during low-temperature operation. Link status detection automatically puts inactive ports into sleep mode, and cable length detection applies just enough power for each connection, lowering total cost of ownership. The switch operates efficiently with a maximum power consumption of 43.81W and a standby consumption of just 25.22W.
Flexible Management & Monitoring
The DXS-1210-12SC offers versatile management options including a web-based GUI, full CLI, and support for D-Link Network Assistant (DNA) utility for simplified device discovery and configuration. The switch is also compatible with D-View 8 and the Nuclias Network Controller for centralized management of multiple devices. Network maintenance is simplified with loopback detection, cable diagnostics, and comprehensive LED indicators for link/activity/speed, power, console, and fan error monitoring.
Ideal for Australian Businesses
Whether you're building a high-performance server room, upgrading your office network to 10 Gigabit speeds, deploying IP surveillance systems, or managing cloud and virtualization infrastructure, the D-Link DXS-1210-12SC provides the speed, flexibility, and reliability Australian businesses demand. Its combination of fiber and copper connectivity, advanced features, and energy efficiency make it an excellent choice for growing networks.
