D-Link DMS-F106TS 5 Port Smart Managed Switch, 5-Port 2.5G Multi-Gig + 1-Port 10G SFP+ Uplink, 45Gbps Switching Capacity, QoS & VLAN Support | DMS-F106TS

As home and office internet speeds surpass the traditional Gigabit barrier, the DMS-F106TS provides the necessary infrastructure to stay ahead. This hybrid switch combines the versatility of 2.5G Multi-Gigabit Ethernet with the extreme speed of 10G Fiber connectivity. Designed for power users, creative professionals, and small businesses, the DMS-F106TS ensures that your internal data transfers—whether for 4K video editing or large-scale backups—happen at the speed of your hardware.

Key Features

• Next-Gen Multi-Gig Connectivity: Equipped with five 2.5Gbps RJ45 ports that are backward compatible with 100/1000Mbps, allowing you to upgrade your network speed using existing Cat5e or better cabling.
• 10G SFP+ Fiber Uplink: The dedicated 10G SFP+ slot provides a massive "highway" for connecting to a core switch, a high-speed server, or a 10G-enabled NAS, ensuring zero congestion at the top of your network.
• Smart Web Management: Unlike unmanaged switches, the DMS-F106TS features a web-based interface for configuring VLANs (supporting up to 4094 IDs) and QoS (Quality of Service) to prioritize time-sensitive traffic like VoIP or gaming.
• Industrial-Grade Protection: Built to last, the switch features 6KV surge protection and advanced ESD protection (8KV air, 6KV contact), safeguarding your investment against electrical fluctuations and static.

Performance / Technology With a massive 45Gbps switching capacity and a packet forwarding rate of 33.48Mpps, the DMS-F106TS handles full-wire speed across all ports simultaneously. It utilizes a "Store and Forward" transmission method and features an 8Mbit packet buffer to ensure data integrity and minimize packet loss during heavy bursts of traffic.

Design & Reliability The fanless, silent design makes it ideal for desktop use in quiet offices or home studios. The front-facing Status LEDs provide instant visual feedback for link speed and activity, making fault diagnosis simple. With support for Jumbo Frames and IEEE 802.3x flow control, it optimizes the transmission of large data packets for maximum efficiency.
