D-Link DGS-1210-28P 28-Port Gigabit PoE Switch
The D-Link DGS-1210-28P is a 28-port Gigabit smart managed PoE switch built for businesses running a substantial fleet of IP cameras, access points, or VoIP phones. It provides 24 PoE+ Gigabit ports supporting IEEE 802.3af/at, with a 193W total PoE power budget, delivering up to 30W on ports 1-4 and up to 15.4W on ports 5-24. This tiered power allocation means higher-draw devices like PTZ cameras can go on the first four ports, while standard cameras and phones use the remaining 20. A 56 Gbps switching capacity and 41.7 Mpps forwarding rate keep traffic moving smoothly even with all 24 PoE ports active. Beyond power delivery, the DGS-1210-28P is a genuine smart managed switch, supporting VLANs, Spanning Tree Protocol, Link Aggregation, and Layer 2+ static routing, along with a dedicated Surveillance Mode that automatically prioritizes ONVIF camera traffic. Four Gigabit RJ45/SFP combo ports round out the interface for a copper or fiber uplink. This combination of power capacity and network management makes the DGS-1210-28P a strong fit for medium-sized Kenyan offices, schools, and commercial buildings running structured CCTV and Wi-Fi deployments.

Best Suited For
- Medium-sized CCTV deployments running up to 24 cameras, using the higher-power ports 1-4 for PTZ units and the rest for fixed cameras
- Offices and schools needing managed VLAN segmentation alongside built-in PoE for phones and access points
- IT administrators scaling up from smaller PoE switches, since the 193W budget and Layer 2+ routing support more complex, growing networks
