DES-105 Use Case
SMB Office Network Expansion with DES-105-D-Link
Scenario: A small professional services firm needs five additional Ethernet drops for workstations, VoIP phones and a network printer in a new conference room. The wall-mountable DES-105-D-Link switch, with 5×100 M electrical ports, 1 G backplane bandwidth and 0.74 Mpps packet forwarding, installs in minutes using its DC 5 V/0.55 A external PSU. Benefit: Cost-effective, plug-and-play port expansion delivers reliable 100 M connectivity and iron-case durability without complex configuration.
Retail Point-of-Sale Terminal Connectivity
Scenario: A boutique retailer deploys multiple POS terminals, barcode scanners and digital signage behind the checkout counter. The unmanaged DES-105-D-Link switch provides five dedicated 100 M ports and a 1 G full-duplex backplane to prevent throughput bottlenecks. Benefit: Instant, maintenance-free installation ensures uninterrupted transaction processing, reduces counter clutter with its compact 100×98×28 mm iron housing, and minimizes power draw at 0.55 A.
IP Surveillance System Deployment in Warehouses
Scenario: A distribution center installs up to five HD IP cameras for 24/7 video monitoring. The DES-105-D-Link’s 5 × 100 M ports, 1 G backplane bandwidth and 0.74 Mpps forwarding rate guarantee smooth video streams to the NVR. Benefit: Wall-mounted, fan-free design simplifies camera connectivity near ceilings, iron chassis resists industrial environments, and low-power operation lowers energy costs while maintaining network reliability.
