D-Link DGS-F1210-18PS-E 16-Port Gigabit Long Range PoE+ Smart Switch + 2 SFP
The D-Link DGS-F1210-18PS-E is a 16-port Gigabit PoE+ smart managed switch built for businesses that need both long-distance camera reach and genuine Layer 2 network control. It provides 16 PoE ports supporting IEEE 802.3af/at, backed by a 150W total PoE power budget, enough to power a full set of IP cameras, access points, or VoIP phones without running out of capacity partway through the deployment. Its 250m Long Range Extend mode pushes power and data well beyond the standard 100m Ethernet limit, which matters for perimeter cameras or access points positioned far from the equipment room. Unlike D-Link’s basic unmanaged switches, the DGS-F1210-18PS-E is a smart managed switch, so it supports VLANs (up to 256 static groups), 802.1X port-based access control, SNMP, ACLs, and Spanning Tree Protocol, giving administrators far more control over how traffic is segmented and secured. In addition, Auto Voice VLAN and Auto Surveillance VLAN automatically separate phone and camera traffic from general data, reducing manual configuration. Two Gigabit SFP uplink ports complete the interface for a fiber connection to a core switch. This combination suits growing Kenyan businesses, schools, and hospitality properties that need reliable long-range PoE alongside network segmentation and basic security controls, rather than a purely plug-and-play device.

Best Suited For
- CCTV and access-point installations needing long-distance cable runs, where 250m Extend mode reaches devices standard PoE switches can’t
- Growing businesses and institutions needing VLAN segmentation, such as schools or hotels separating guest, staff, and surveillance traffic
- IT administrators wanting basic managed security, using 802.1X authentication, ACLs, and SNMP monitoring without a full enterprise switch
