Class 8-Port Gigabit

  • 8 Gigabit ports connect up to 8 devices for fast file transfers and smooth streaming
  • Fanless metal chassis provides silent operation ideal for noise-sensitive environments
  • QoS prioritises time-sensitive traffic like VoIP and surveillance during high-volume bursts
  • IGMP snooping optimises multicast streams to reduce unnecessary traffic and save bandwidth
  • Plug-and-play unmanaged switch works instantly with no configuration or software required

Eight-port Gigabit desktop switch

The D-Link DGS-108 is an unmanaged Layer 3 Light switch with eight RJ45 ports that auto-negotiate 10, 100 or 1000 Mbps connections. It suits home offices or small businesses that need simple, plug-and-play expansion without configuration software.

Fanless silent operation and low power draw

A fanless metal chassis ensures completely silent running in noise-sensitive rooms. The external 5 V 1 A adapter powers the unit, while IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet reduces consumption on idle links. QoS and IGMP snooping prioritise time-sensitive traffic such as VoIP or surveillance streams.

Store-and-forward switching under sustained load

Store-and-forward architecture checks every frame before forwarding, preventing corrupt packets from clogging the network during heavy transfers. The 8K MAC table and 9000-byte jumbo frame support keep throughput steady across all eight ports. Builders needing uplink ports, PoE or stackable management should consider other models.

Questions about this item

How do I install the DGS-108 and what step do people often miss?

Place the switch on a desktop or mount it on a wall, connect the external 5 V 1 A power adapter, then link up to eight devices with Cat 5e or better cables; the step often missed is confirming each port LED shows Link/Activity/Speed so you know the 1000BASE-T connection has negotiated correctly.

What maintenance or replacement will the DGS-108 need later?

The fanless metal chassis has no moving parts to service; only the external 5 V 1 A power adapter may need replacement if it fails, and cable ends should be re-terminated if they become damaged or corroded over time.

What limit appears first on the DGS-108 during sustained heavy traffic?

The 8K MAC address table fills before the 9000-byte jumbo frame buffer or the 100-metre copper cable distance becomes a constraint, so very large networks with many endpoints may hit the table ceiling first.
