D-Link DGS-F1028P 24-Port, PoE Switch

The D-Link DGS-F1028P is a 28-Port Gigabit PoE switch engineered for high-performance networking and long-range PoE support. It is ideal for organizations needing to power multiple devices over Ethernet, such as IP cameras, wireless access points, or VoIP phones, in a large network setup. Here’s a detailed overview of its features:

Key Features and Specifications:

• 28 PoE-Enabled Gigabit Ports: The switch includes 24 Gigabit Ethernet ports, each supporting Power over Ethernet (PoE). With PoE capabilities, the switch can supply both data and electrical power to compatible devices over a single Ethernet cable, reducing the need for additional power sources at the device location.
• Extended 250m Range: The DGS-F1028P supports an extended range of up to 250 meters on its PoE ports when in “Extend Mode.” This extended reach is particularly useful in large buildings, campuses, or areas where devices are located far from the network hub.
• High Power Budget: Each PoE port supports up to 30W, with an overall power budget suitable for powering several high-powered devices simultaneously. This makes it an excellent choice for setups that need robust power delivery to multiple devices.
• 2 SFP Uplink Ports: In addition to the 28 PoE ports, the switch is equipped with two SFP (Small Form-Factor Pluggable) uplink ports. These ports provide high-speed uplinks for fiber connections, which allows for network expansion and long-distance connectivity, making the switch versatile in terms of network setup.
• Plug and Play Operation: While it includes advanced features, the switch is also plug-and-play, which simplifies deployment. Users can connect devices quickly and easily without needing extensive configuration, ideal for setups that need quick installation.
