D-LINK DES-1008PA network switch Unmanaged Fast Ethernet (10/100) Power over Ethernet (PoE) Black

<b>8-Port Desktop Switch with 4 Power over Ethernet (PoE) ports</b><br><br>The DES-1008P 8-Port switch can convey power to up to four network devices via the usual network cables using Power over Ethernet technology. This provides a cost-effective entry-level solution for users wishing to make the most of their network. The DES-1008P enables users to easily connect and supply power to devices such as wireless Access Points (AP), IP cameras and IP phones via the common network cables.<br><br>As a switch, the DES-1008P can be used to share files, music and video across your network or create a multi-player gaming environment. Users can also add multiple computers, printers, Network Attached Storage (NAS) and any other Ethernet device onto a network.<br><br>This device runs ultra-quiet, making it ideal for both home and small office use. In addition, it can be wall-mounted to save desktop space.<br><br><b>IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE)</b><br><br>Four out of the eight ports on the DES-1008P support the IEEE 802.3af standard for Power over Ethernet (PoE). Each of these ports can supply up to 15.4W, up to a total PoE budget of 56W, allowing users to attach IEEE 802.3af-compliant devices without requiring an additional power source.<br>Networking devices receiving power in this way do not need to be placed within close proximity of a power outlet, allowing greater flexibility for their placement.<br>Compliance with IEEE 802.3af also means that when a compliant device is attached, the switch automatically adjusts the power supplied to that device.<br>For non-compliant devices, a PoE adapter such as D-Link’s DWL-P50 can be used to still allow the switch to be the power source.<br><br><b>Superior performance</b><br><br>The switch is completely unmanaged, so no configuration is required and installation is quick and easy. Support for auto-MDI/MDI-X on all ports eliminates the need for crossover cables for connection to another switch or hub. Auto-negotiation on each port senses the link speed of a network device (either 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps) and intelligently adjusts for compatibility and optimal performance.<br>The DES-1008P also features diagnostic LEDs that display status and activity, allowing you to quickly detect and correct problems on the network. With wire-speed filtering and store-and-forward switching, the DES-1008P also maximizes network performance while minimising the transmission of bad network packets. Combining the convenience of PoE, superior performance, and ease of use, the D-Link DES-1008P is the ideal choice for adding PoE devices to either a home or a small business network.<br><br><b>Hassle-free set-up</b><br><br>The DES-1008P is a plug-and-play device requiring no configuration, which makes set-up simple and hassle-free.D-Link DES-1008PA.
