Specification Sheet

DGS-105 and DGS-108
5-Port and 8-Port Unmanaged Gigabit Switches
Green Technology
The DGS-105/108 switches feature green technology, including IEEE
802.3az Energy-Ecient Ethernet (EEE), link status detection, and
cable length detection. Energy-Ecient Ethernet reduces power
consumption of the switch when network utilization is low, reducing
the cost of ownership during periods of inactivity. Link status detection
automatically powers down ports when there is no link detected,
saving power when the connected device has been shut down or
disconnected. Cable length detection automatically adjusts the power
output of the port based on the length of the cable, reducing the power
requirements of the switch to only what is necessary for the installation.
Trac Management
The DGS-105/108 switches include trac management features, such
as IEEE 802.1p Quality of Service (QoS) and IEEE 802.3x Flow Control.
The 802.1p QoS feature allows trac to be classied in 8 priority levels,
allowing dierent types of trac to be prioritized, depending on their
importance. Flow Control signals to clients when the switch’s input
buer is full, helping to minimize dropped packets and providing a
more reliable connection for all connected devices.
Limited Lifetime Warranty
D-Link oers a Limited Lifetime Warranty on the DGS-105 and DGS-108
Unmanaged Gigibit Switches to further its commitment to product
quality and long-term customer condence.
