The D-Link DGS-F1210-18PS-E is a smart managed Layer 2 Gigabit Ethernet switch with PoE+ capabilities, designed for small to medium businesses, IP surveillance, or office networks in Nairobi. It offers 16 Gigabit PoE+ ports, 2 Gigabit SFP uplinks, long-reach PoE up to 250m on select ports, and easy web-based/CLI management—ideal for powering IP cameras, wireless APs, VoIP phones, or other PoE devices with flexible connectivity, basic VLAN/QoS control, and extended range for larger setups.

D-Link DGS-F1210-18PS-E 16-port Gigabit Long Range 250m PoE+ Smart Switch

Power distant devices efficiently with the D-Link DGS-F1210-18PS-E: a 18-port Gigabit smart managed PoE+ switch featuring 16 PoE ports (135–150W budget), 2 SFP uplinks, and 250m long-reach support on 8 ports. Web GUI/CLI management, VLANs, QoS, security features, and fanless/silent operation—ideal for IP surveillance, VoIP, Wi-Fi extensions, or small business networks in Nairobi with reliable Gigabit speeds and extended PoE reach.

• 16 Gigabit PoE+ Ports: 16 x 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ-45 ports supporting IEEE 802.3af/at PoE+ (up to 30W per port max) for powering IP cameras, APs, or VoIP phones directly over Ethernet.
• 250m Long-Reach PoE: Up to 8 ports support extended transmission up to 250 meters (via Extend mode at reduced speed)—perfect for distant outdoor CCTV or remote installations using Cat5e/Cat6 cables.
• 2 Gigabit SFP Uplinks: 2 x Gigabit SFP slots for fiber or copper connections, enabling longer-distance links or aggregation to routers/other switches.
• 135–150W Total PoE Budget: Sufficient power to run multiple PoE devices simultaneously (total across ports, with per-port limits applied; varies slightly by region/revision).
• Smart Managed Interface: Web-based GUI (HTTP/HTTPS), CLI (Telnet/SSH), SNMP, and DIP switches for VLANs (802.1Q), QoS prioritization, port mirroring, bandwidth control, IGMP snooping, loop detection, storm control, and more.
• 36 Gbps Switching Capacity: Non-blocking wire-speed performance for smooth Gigabit traffic handling in growing networks.
• Plug-and-Play with Management: Auto MDI/MDIX on all ports; easy initial setup plus advanced configuration via intuitive web interface.
• Lightning Protection (6KV): Built-in surge protection against electrical spikes—helpful in Nairobi’s variable power and weather conditions.
• Flow Control & Reliability: IEEE 802.3x flow control prevents packet loss; supports stable VoIP, video, or data streams.
• Silent Operation: Fanless design for quiet use in home/office environments.
• Durable Metal Housing: Sturdy build with good heat dissipation for reliable 24/7 operation.
• LED Indicators: Front-panel lights for power, link/activity, PoE status, and speed—easy monitoring and troubleshooting.
• Advanced Features: Supports port security, DHCP snooping, ARP protection, DoS prevention, and time-based PoE scheduling for better control.
• High Compatibility: Works with standard Cat5e/Cat6 cables and PoE devices from various brands; supports jumbo frames and IPv6 readiness.
• Great for Surveillance & SMB: Affordable managed PoE solution for camera systems, remote powering, or networks needing basic segmentation, security, and long-distance reach without complex L3 features.
