With the PoE Fast Ethernet Desktop Switch DES-1005P, companies can benefit cost-effectively from Power over Ethernet (PoE) technology. Devices such as wireless access points, network cameras or IP phones can be powered directly via the network cable. You can also use the switch to add additional Ethernet devices such as computers, printers and network storage systems (NAS) to your network. The DES-1005P is equipped with a PoE port and saves energy when not in use thanks to D-Link's Green Ethernet technology. The fanless design ensures silent operation, making the device the ideal solution for office environments, libraries or meeting rooms.Plug & Play PoE.The first port of the DES-1005P supports the IEEE 802.3af PoE standard. This port enables power supply via PoE with up to 15.4 watts. The required power is automatically detected, so no configuration is necessary. This makes the DES-1005P particularly suitable for applications that have a limited number of power outlets or want to minimize the effort involved in adding additional connections.QoS (Quality of Service).The DES-1005P prioritizes network traffic so that time-critical data is delivered efficiently even during peak times. This allows multimedia content and VoIP calls to be streamed with optimal performance.Automatic MDI/MDIX detection.All ports on the DES-1005P support automatic MDI/MDIX detection, eliminating the need for crossover cables and uplink ports. Each port can be connected directly to a server, hub, router or switch using a standard straight-through twisted pair Ethernet cable.Energy Saving Technology.The DES-1005P 5-Port PoE Fast Ethernet Desktop Switch uses D-Link Green technology to help conserve energy, reduce power consumption and extend the life of the product without sacrificing performance or functionality. The switch is extremely energy efficient thanks to features such as automatic link status and cable length detection. The link status feature automatically disables unconnected ports, saving significant amounts of power as unused ports and those connected to powered-off computers do not consume power. In addition, the cable length of connected devices can be detected and power consumption adjusted accordingly, saving energy without affecting network performance. The fanless design extends the life of the switch and ensures silent operation.The DES-1005P's power supply is Energy Star Level V and ensures efficient power conversion and an extended product life. D-Link's Green EthernetTM technology detects the length of connected network cables and supplies the DES-1005P with the required current to save energy and reduce costs without sacrificing performance.
