D-Link DGS-1008A 8-Port Gigabit Easy Desktop Switch — Fanless | D-Link Green | Unmanaged

The D-Link DGS-1008A is built for home users, home office workers, small businesses, and student setups who need a simple, reliable, and energy-efficient 8-port Gigabit switch to expand their wired network without complex configuration. It is well-suited for connecting desktops, laptops, NAS devices, smart TVs, printers, gaming consoles, and IP cameras to a home router or office network, and for environments where quiet fanless operation is a key requirement.

The DGS-1008A delivers eight 1000Base-T Gigabit Ethernet ports with 16 Gbps total non-blocking switching capacity and a maximum packet forwarding rate of 11.90 Mpps for wire-speed performance across all eight ports simultaneously. Auto MDI/MDIX on every port eliminates the need for crossover cables, enabling any standard Ethernet cable to connect any device directly and correctly. The fully fanless design operates in complete silence — making it ideal for home offices, living rooms, bedrooms, and any environment where acoustic noise is a concern. D-Link Green Technology delivers intelligent power saving through two methods: automatic port power-down when no link is detected on a port (such as when connected devices are powered off), and cable length detection that reduces power consumption proportionally when shorter cables are in use — cutting unnecessary energy draw without any user intervention. Energy Efficiency Ethernet (IEEE 802.3az) further reduces power consumption during periods of low link utilisation. 802.3x Flow Control manages data transmission to prevent packet loss during traffic bursts. A 9,720-byte jumbo frame capacity supports large data transfers for NAS, file servers, and multimedia streaming without fragmentation. Surge and lightning protection of 1kV on AC power input and all Ethernet ports, along with 8kV air discharge and 4kV contact discharge ESD protection, safeguards connected network equipment against electrical events.
