D-link DGS-1210-28 24-port Gigabit Smart Switch

Product Description

The D-Link Systems DGS-1210-28 is a Web Smart managed gigabit switch designed for small to medium business network infrastructure. It provides 24 copper Gigabit Ethernet ports along with 4 SFP uplink slots, allowing fiber or additional copper uplink connectivity. The DGS-1210-28 sits in the Web Smart switch category, offering a simplified management interface without the complexity of a fully managed platform. Network administrators and qualified low-voltage installers deploy this switch in wiring closets, server rooms, and structured cabling environments where VLAN segmentation and basic traffic control are required.

This switch is suited for commercial and light industrial LAN deployments where layer 2 Web Smart functionality meets the operational requirements. Typical installations include office networks, small data centers, and multi-tenant environments where port density and uplink flexibility are priorities. The 4 SFP slots support fiber runs between IDF and MDF closets or direct uplinks to core switching equipment.

Key Features

• 24 Gigabit Ethernet copper ports for high-speed edge connectivity
• 4 SFP uplink slots for fiber or extended-distance copper connections
• Web Smart management interface for VLAN, QoS, and basic traffic control without full CLI complexity
• Compact form factor suited for wiring closet and rack-mount installation
• Single-unit packaging for straightforward deployment

Compatibility

Designed as a Web Smart layer 2 gigabit switch for integration into standard IEEE 802.3 Ethernet network environments. Compatible with any 802.3-compliant network equipment using RJ45 or SFP interfaces.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified network technician or low-voltage cabling professional familiar with structured cabling standards such as ANSI/TIA-568. Power down or disconnect the switch before making any hardware changes to SFP modules or rack-mount brackets. Ensure adequate rack space, ventilation clearance, and grounding before powering the unit. Follow local electrical codes when connecting to building power circuits.
