The D-Link DGS-F1026P-E (often listed as DGS-F1026P or DGS-F1026P-E/B) is a robust, unmanaged Gigabit Ethernet switch with PoE+ support and long-reach capabilities up to 250m. It’s tailored for small to medium businesses, IP surveillance systems, or extended PoE deployments in Nairobi—ideal for powering and connecting multiple IP cameras, wireless access points, VoIP phones, or other PoE devices over longer distances without extra power cables or configuration.

D-link DGS-F1026P-E 24 Port s1000Mbps PoE Switch with 2 SFP Ports

Extend your network reach with the D-Link DGS-F1026P-E: a 26-port Gigabit unmanaged PoE+ switch featuring 24 PoE ports (250W budget) and 2 SFP uplinks. Supports 250m long-range PoE on select ports, 6KV lightning protection, flow control, and silent fanless design—perfect for large-scale IP surveillance, remote APs, or small business setups in Nairobi with reliable Gigabit performance and cost-effective extended PoE.

• 24 Gigabit PoE+ Ports: 24 x 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ-45 ports supporting IEEE 802.3af/at PoE+ (up to 30W per port max) for powering devices like IP cameras or APs directly over Ethernet cables.
• 250m Long-Reach PoE: Select ports (typically 8 or more via Extend mode) extend PoE power and data up to 250 meters (at reduced 10 Mbps speed)—excellent for distant outdoor CCTV, large compounds, or remote building installations using Cat5e/Cat6 cables.
• 2 Gigabit SFP Uplinks: 2 x Gigabit SFP slots for fiber or copper connections, enabling longer-distance links, aggregation, or fiber backhaul to routers/other switches.
• 250W Total PoE Budget: Ample power to support multiple PoE devices simultaneously (total across ports, with per-port limits applied).
• Plug-and-Play Installation: No configuration required—auto MDI/MDIX on all ports, auto-negotiation for speed/duplex, and simple cable connections.
• 52 Gbps Switching Capacity: Non-blocking wire-speed performance with store-and-forward switching for smooth Gigabit data transfer and error reduction.
• 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 during congestion; supports stable VoIP, video, or data streams.
• Silent Fanless Design: No noisy fans—quiet operation suitable for home, office, or indoor installations.
• Durable Metal Housing: Sturdy build (approx. 440 x 180 x 44 mm, ~3kg) with good heat dissipation for reliable 24/7 use in warm climates.
• LED Indicators: Front-panel lights for power, link/activity, PoE status, and speed—easy monitoring and troubleshooting.
• Extend Mode Support: DIP switch or auto features for long-range PoE without complex setup; may include basic VLAN isolation or QoS prioritization.
• High Compatibility: Works with standard Cat5e/Cat6 cables and PoE devices from various brands (cameras, APs, phones).
