D-link Systems DGS-1008P 8-port Gigabit Poe Switch

Product Description

The D-Link Systems DGS-1008P is an 8-port unmanaged Gigabit Ethernet switch designed for small business and professional network installations. Four ports support PoE Plus (802.3at) power delivery with a total PoE budget of 80 watts, while all eight ports operate at Gigabit speeds. This switch provides a straightforward, plug-and-play solution for powering IP cameras, VoIP phones, wireless access points, and other PoE-capable devices without requiring a separate power injector. Network installers and IT technicians are the primary trades handling deployment of this unit.

The DGS-1008P is suited for small office, retail, and light commercial environments where a compact, unmanaged switch is needed to consolidate wired network drops and deliver PoE power to endpoint devices. It fits standard network closet or desktop installations where simplified operation without management overhead is the priority. All eight ports deliver Gigabit throughput, making it compatible with modern structured cabling and high-bandwidth applications.

Key Features

• 4 PoE Plus ports supporting 802.3at standard for higher-power device requirements
• 80-watt total PoE power budget shared across PoE-capable ports
• All 8 ports operate at Gigabit Ethernet speeds
• Unmanaged plug-and-play operation with no configuration required
• Compact form factor suited for desktop or shelf mounting

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct installation switch compatible with standard 802.3at and 802.3af PoE-capable network endpoints including IP cameras, access points, and VoIP phones on Gigabit Ethernet infrastructure.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a network technician or low-voltage cabling professional. Power down any connected PoE devices before swapping an existing switch to avoid surge events on powered endpoints. Verify that the combined PoE draw of all connected devices does not exceed the 80-watt total budget prior to finalizing the installation. Low-voltage wiring work should comply with applicable NEC Article 725 requirements for Class 2 circuits.
