The D-Link DGS-105 and DGS-108 Gigabit Ethernet Switches provide a cost-effective way to create a small network and connect SMB computers, wireless access points, IP cameras, network printers and other Ethernet devices quickly and easily, without complex configurations. These switches come with 5 or 8 Gigabit Ethernet ports with an auto-sensing feature that determines the maximum speed of connected devices, allowing you to manage your network with the best possible performance. Their fanless design and solid metal housing make them completely silent, so they are ideal for offices, libraries or meeting rooms, as well as industrial and hazardous environments such as factories and warehouses.
The DGS-105 and DGS-108 switches are designed with durability and performance in mind. Their sturdy metal housing will protect them from accidental damage while helping to dissipate heat and reduce stress on internal components. LEDs allow easy reading of the status and speed of each port, helping to troubleshoot connectivity issues. For convenient placement, these switches come with a wall mount kit and a Kensington security lock slot to protect them from theft.
Although they are Plug and Play unmanaged switches, the DGS-105 and DGS-108 can classify network traffic by evaluating the 802.1p field in Ethernet frames and forward them out of their ports based on their priority. This enables seamless integration of video, voice and data traffic without delay or loss of quality.
The cable diagnostics feature allows users to quickly troubleshoot faulty network cables that may cause transmission errors. At startup, the switch performs a microtest to assess the quality of the cables connected to its ports. If an error is detected, the ambar LED will light up. If the cables pass the test, the green LED will light up, indicating that the network is error-free. This feature can save valuable time when trying to isolate a faulty cable that is causing problems throughout the network.
The DGS-105 and DGS-108 are part of D-Link Green, D-Link's green technology providing energy savings, reduced power consumption and longer product life without sacrificing operational performance or functionality. These switches implement the 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) standard, which can save a significant amount of power by detecting the state of ports and placing them in a low-power standby mode when no network traffic is detected. In addition, the Green Ethernet technology in the DGS-105/108 can detect the length of network cables connected to their ports and provide only the required amount of power. This helps businesses save money by reducing their electricity bills without compromising on performance. |

Think green
The DGS-108 is a Plug-and-Play network switch that offers D-Link's green technology to save energy and reduce heat, which in turn extends the life of the product without sacrificing performance or functionality. The switch supports IEEE 802.3az Energy-Efficient Ethernet (EEE), which detects when the connected computer is turned off or when there is no Ethernet traffic, at which point the switch automatically shuts down the idle port, saving a significant amount of power. In addition, the switch can also save energy by recognizing the length of the cable and using only as much energy as needed. Working together, these features dramatically reduce power consumption and heat dissipation, resulting in extended life and significant cost savings.

Cable diagnostic function
D-Link's cable diagnostics feature allows users to instantly know the status of cables via the front panel LED display. Users can determine whether the pin connections of the cable connectors are correct, making it easy to quickly troubleshoot network problems if necessary.
