D-Link Gigabit Unmanaged Switches

A

A D-Link Gigabit Unmanaged Switch is a plug-and-play network device with multiple 10/100/1000 Mbps ports that delivers immediate high-speed Ethernet connectivity without requiring any software configuration.

A

A Gigabit Unmanaged Switch offers fixed configurations and auto-negotiation for plug-and-play simplicity, whereas a managed switch provides advanced features like VLANs, QoS, SNMP and remote administration.

A

D-Link Gigabit Unmanaged Switches deliver reliable wire-speed performance, low latency, Energy Efficient Ethernet and effortless scalability for small to medium-sized networks.

A

You can connect up to the number of available ports on your model—commonly ranging from 5 to 48 gigabit Ethernet devices—directly to a single D-Link Gigabit Unmanaged Switch.

A

No, D-Link Gigabit Unmanaged Switches are fully plug-and-play and require no software installation or manual configuration to operate.

A

Yes, they implement IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet and idle-port shutdown to minimize power consumption during periods of low network activity.

A

While they don’t support formal stacking protocols, you can cascade multiple D-Link Gigabit Unmanaged Switches by linking ports to expand overall port density.

A

D-Link offers a limited lifetime warranty on hardware and provides technical support via phone, online chat and a comprehensive online knowledge base.

A

Yes, all D-Link Gigabit Unmanaged Switch models are plug-and-play, automatically detecting link speed and duplex settings for instant network connectivity.

A

They feature fixed 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ-45 Ethernet ports, and select models include SFP uplink slots for optional fiber connectivity.

A

Connect the power adapter, plug your Ethernet cables into the switch ports, and the device will auto-negotiate link speeds and begin forwarding traffic immediately.

A

Standard D-Link Gigabit Unmanaged Switches do not support PoE; to power devices over Ethernet, choose one of D-Link’s PoE-enabled unmanaged switch models.

A

Power usage varies by model; a 5-port switch typically consumes around 2 W, while a 24-port model may draw up to 15 W under full load.

A

Absolutely; D-Link Gigabit Unmanaged Switches are ideal for home networks, providing stable high-speed connections for PCs, media servers and streaming devices.

A

They excel in small to medium-sized offices, retail locations, labs and home networks where unmanaged, high-speed Ethernet is required.

A

Verify power and cable connections, check the link/activity LED indicators, replace any faulty cables and confirm that connected devices are powered on to resolve most issues.
