D-Link DES-1008C 8-Port Fast Ethernet Unmanaged Desktop Switch, Compact Fanless Design, D-Link Green Energy Saving

Reliably expand your network capacity with the D-Link DES-1008C 8-Port Fast Ethernet Switch. Built for simplicity and long-term stability, this unmanaged switch allows you to connect up to eight devices with a total switching capacity of 1.6 Gbps. Its sleek, compact design ensures it fits perfectly in any workspace, providing a seamless networking bridge for environments that prioritize both performance and silent operation.

Key Features

• Instant Plug-and-Play Setup: The DES-1008C requires zero configuration. With Auto MDI/MDIX on all ports, the switch automatically detects the correct cable type, meaning you can use standard or crossover Ethernet cables to get your network running immediately.
• Eco-Friendly D-Link Green Tech: Save energy without sacrificing performance. This switch features IEEE 802.3az Energy-Efficient Ethernet (EEE) and power-saving modes that detect when a port is inactive or a cable is short, reducing power draw to as little as 0.55 watts in standby.
• Silent, Fanless Performance: Designed with no moving parts, the DES-1008C operates in total silence. This makes it a perfect addition to quiet home offices, libraries, or conference rooms where background noise must be kept to a minimum.
• Robust Data Reliability: Utilizing the Store-and-Forward architecture, the switch verifies data packets before sending them, reducing errors on the network. Combined with 802.3x Flow Control and Head-of-Line (HOL) Blocking Prevention, it ensures your data traffic remains smooth and uninterrupted.
• Built to Last: With an impressive MTBF (Mean Time Between Failure) of over 1.5 million hours, this switch is a durable investment designed to keep your devices connected 24/7.

Why This Product Stands Out The D-Link DES-1008C offers more ports in a similarly compact form factor as its 5-port counterpart. It is incredibly lightweight yet sturdy, handling a maximum packet forwarding rate of 1.19 Mpps. For users who need a cost-effective way to link multiple wired devices with a focus on "Green" energy standards, the DES-1008C is a world-class choice for basic, reliable networking.
