D-link Systems DGS-108 8-port Gigabit Ethernet Switch

Product Description

The D-LINK SYSTEMS INC. DGS-108 is an 8-port unmanaged gigabit Ethernet switch designed for small network installations and workgroup environments. It provides wired network connectivity across eight ports, each supporting speeds up to 1000 Mbps. The DGS-108 is a plug-and-play device, requiring no configuration software or management interface to operate. Network technicians and IT professionals typically deploy this switch to expand wired LAN infrastructure in office, light commercial, or structured cabling environments where reliable, high-speed Ethernet connectivity is needed at the access layer.

The DGS-108 is suited for small office and workgroup deployments where a compact, unmanaged switch is sufficient. It connects desktop computers, IP phones, network-attached storage devices, and other Ethernet-capable equipment to a local network. Its unmanaged design makes it appropriate for straightforward network expansions that do not require VLAN segmentation, QoS, or remote monitoring. Electricians and low-voltage cabling technicians routinely integrate this type of switch into structured wiring installations.

Key Features

• 8 x RJ-45 Gigabit Ethernet ports supporting 10/100/1000 Mbps auto-negotiation
• Unmanaged operation with no configuration required
• Auto MDI/MDIX on all ports eliminates need for crossover cables
• Compact desktop form factor suitable for tight network closets or workstation areas
• Supports full and half-duplex operation per port

Compatibility

Designed as a standard unmanaged gigabit Ethernet switch compatible with any IEEE 802.3 or IEEE 802.3u/ab compliant network device using RJ-45 connections.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by network technicians or licensed low-voltage cabling contractors. No software configuration is required before deployment. Connect the switch to a power source and patch it into the existing network using standard Cat5e or Cat6 patch cables. Ensure the installation location provides adequate ventilation and that the power source meets the device input requirements.
