DES-108 Use Case
Small Office LAN Expansion with DES-108-D-Link 8-Port 100M Switch
A 10-user accounting firm installs the DES-108-D-Link 8-port 100M switch on a wall in its network closet to add workstations, IP phones, and a network printer without re-cabling. The switch’s 1.6 Gbps backplane and 1.2 Mpps forwarding rate ensure congestion-free file transfers and VoIP calls. Outcome: Seamless LAN scaling, sub-millisecond latency for voice and data, zero IT maintenance thanks to its unmanaged design.
Retail POS Connectivity with DES-108-D-Link Unmanaged Wall-Mounted Switch
A boutique uses the DES-108-D-Link 8-port 100M switch to connect four point-of-sale terminals, two inventory scanners, and the back-office PC. Its compact iron case (162×102×28 mm) and DC 5 V/0.55 A power supply allow discreet wall-mounting behind the checkout counter. Benefit: Reliable 100 Mbps throughput for transaction data, simplified installation, and uninterrupted sales even during peak hours.
IP CCTV Surveillance Backbone with DES-108-D-Link 8-Port Switch
An office building deploys eight PoE-capable cameras (via separate injectors) fed into the DES-108-D-Link 8-port 100M switch to transmit video to the NVR. The switch’s robust 1.6 Gbps switching capacity and 1.2 Mpps packet rate eliminate frame drops and ensure 24/7 recording integrity. Benefit: High-definition video stability, cost-effective wall-mounted setup, and plug-and-play operation with zero network management.
