D-Link DMS-1100-10TP Smart Managed Multigigabit Switch:
In any business environment migrating its wireless network to Wi-Fi 6, it's necessary to adapt the network equipment to 2.5G, since high-performance 802.11ax access points already integrate 2.5G LAN ports to take full advantage of the bandwidth that Wi-Fi 6 can deliver. Connecting these access points using the Gigabit standard would create a bottleneck, limiting wireless network performance and minimizing the return on investment. In these scenarios, the new D-Link DMS-1100-10TP Smart Managed Multigigabit Switch stands out as the most versatile solution, offering a switch for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) capable of meeting all their needs. It features eight 2.5G PoE ports (power and data connection over the LAN cable) for connecting Wi-Fi 6 access points, while its two 10 Gigabit SFP+ uplink ports are ideal for connecting to the network core, servers, and other devices. With a PoE budget of 240W, the switch can deliver up to 30W per port to access points, IP cameras, VoIP phones, and more. Furthermore, its Smart management capabilities allow network segmentation via VLANs (with Auto Surveillance and VoIP VLANs to isolate video surveillance and VoIP networks) and other Layer 2 features to enhance performance and security, including port mirroring, IGMP snooping, spanning tree (STP and MSTP), link aggregation control (LACP), and the D-Link Safeguard Engine.
D-Link DMS-107 Unmanaged Multi-Gigabit Desktop Switch.
Ideal for small offices using a local server based on a NAS (Network Attached Storage) drive with 2.5G ports and working with large files (audiovisual production, marketing, architecture) or simply looking to modernize their network. The D-Link DMS-107 Unmanaged Multi-Gigabit Desktop Switch is very affordable and features two 2.5G ports and five Gigabit ports. It is plug-and-play, and its metal casing eliminates the need for fans. It offers automatic traffic management features, such as IEEE 802.1p Quality of Service (QoS) and IEEE 802.3x Flow Control.
Unmanaged Multigigabit Desktop Switch
offers a more advanced design focused on gaming, featuring multi-color LEDs. While it's an unmanaged switch, it includes a "turbo" mode button that automatically prioritizes high-demand applications using advanced QoS. This model integrates five 2.5G ports and one 10G port for connecting to network cores, servers, NAS devices, etc. It's available at major retailers and specialty stores with an MSRP of €229.
USB-C to 2.5G Ethernet LAN Adapters:
To complete the migration to a 2.5G network, D-Link offers the perfect complement for upgrading any computer with a 2.5 Gigabit RJ-45 LAN connection: the D-Link DUB-E250 (RRP €52) and D-Link DUB-2315 (with a standard USB-C to USB-A adapter and an RRP €51). These Plug & Play adapters complete a 2.5 Gigabit network environment for both data distribution from the aforementioned switches and client devices.
