D-Link has introduced three new multi-Gigabit switches with different levels of performance that are designed to meet the needs of different professional profiles, and that offer a high degree of versatility, which facilitates the installation of computer networks that demand a leap from the traditional Gigabit Ethernet LAN network (1,000 Mbps) to higher bandwidths thanks to 2.5G (2,500 Mbps) connectors and 10 Gigabit (10,000 Mbps), and without having to give up affordable prices.
If we need to migrate our wireless network to a Wi-Fi 6 scenario we will have to adapt the network to 2.5G to achieve a good level of performance, since if we connect the Wi-Fi 6 access points to Gigabit ports we will be creating a bottleneck, and we will limit the performance of that new wireless network, and obviously this will prevent us from truly making our investment profitable.
For these cases, the new Smart Managed Multigigabit Switch D-Link DMS-1100-10TP from D-Link is emerging as a very versatile solution because it offers a switch at an affordable cost to SMEs, but at the same time it is capable of covering all their needs. in an efficient way. Integrates 8 2.5G PoE ports (data connection and power supply through the LAN network cable) to connect Wi-Fi 6 access points, and it has two 10 Gigabit SFP+ uplink ports, which are perfect for connecting to the network core, servers, etc.
With a maximum PoE of 240 watts, this switch is capable of supplying up to 30W per port for access points, IP cameras, VoIP phones, etc. In addition, thanks to its Smart management level, it allows segmenting the network through VLANs (with Auto Surveillance and VoIP VLAN to isolate video surveillance and VoIP networks) and offers other layer 2 functionalities to improve performance and security, such as ports mirroring, igmp snooping, spanning tree (STP and MSTP), link aggregation control (LACP) and D-Link Safeguard Engine.
The D-Link DMS-1100-10TP Multigigabit switch It is now available in the network of official distributors of the professional computer channel.
D-Link has also released the Unmanaged Multigigabit Desktop Switch D-Link DMS-107, designed for small offices who are using a local server based on a NAS network hard drive equipped with 2.5G ports and who work with large files (audiovisual production, marketing, architecture) or simply want to modernize their network Multi Gigabit desktop switch without management D -Link DMS-107 is very affordable and has 2 2.5G ports and 5 Gigabit ports.
is totally plug & play, plug and play, and its metal casing avoids the use of fans. It offers automatic traffic management features such as IEEE 802.1p Quality of Service (QoS) and IEEE 802.3x Flow Control. The D-Link DMS-107 Switch is now available with a recommended retail price of 129 euro.
The DMS-106XT unmanaged Multigigabit desktop switch is another interesting option, as it offers a highly advanced design that is more focused on the gaming world, integrates multicolor LEDs and although it is a switch without management it has a “turbo” mode button that automatically prioritizes the applications with the highest demand through advanced QoS. This model integrates 5 2.5G ports and one 10G port for connection to the network core, servers, NAS, etc. It is available with a price of 229 euros.
Finally we have the USB-C to Ethernet LAN 2.5G adapters, the perfect complement for any computer to upgrade with a 2.5 Gigabit RJ-45 LAN connection. USB-C to 2.5G Ethernet LAN adapters, D-Link DUB-E250 (from 52 euros) and D-Link DUB-2315 (with standard USB-C to USB-A adapter for 51 euros). They are Plug & Play adapters to complete a 2.5 Gigabit network environment both in the distribution of data from the aforementioned switches and in the client devices.
