Eight Gigabit ports for small networks

This D-Link DGS-1008A switch adds eight 10/100/1000 Mbps ports to a home or small office network. It is designed for users who need a simple, plug-and-play way to connect multiple wired devices such as computers, printers and network storage. The unit uses Green Technology to lower power consumption and heat output while maintaining full Gigabit performance on every port.

Silent operation under continuous traffic

With no moving parts the switch runs silently even when all eight ports carry sustained Gigabit traffic. D-Link’s Green Technology reduces energy draw and heat generation during long transfers, helping the unit maintain stable throughput without thermal throttling. The Energy Star Level V power adapter contributes to efficient operation around the clock.

Check cabling and power outlet placement

Before ordering, verify that your existing Ethernet cables are Cat 5e or better to achieve 1000 Mbps speeds on each port. Ensure a free mains socket is available near the intended location for the supplied power adapter. The switch is unmanaged, so no configuration interface or VLAN support is provided.

Questions about this item

How much heat and noise does the DGS-1008A produce when running continuously?

The switch uses D-Link Green Technology to reduce heat output and extends product life. It has no fan, so it operates silently while the Energy Star Level V power adapter keeps power draw low.

What cabling do I need to connect devices to the eight ports on this switch?

Each port supports 10/100/1000 Mbps speeds, so standard Cat5e or Cat6 Ethernet cables will work for Gigabit links. The switch auto-negotiates speed and duplex on every port.

Will the DGS-1008A work with older 10/100 Mbps network cards I still use?

Yes, every port automatically detects and connects at 10, 100 or 1000 Mbps, so legacy Fast Ethernet devices work alongside Gigabit gear without configuration.
