D-Link DGS-108/B 8-Port Gigabit Unmanaged Desktop Switch
The D-Link DGS-108 is an 8-port unmanaged Gigabit Ethernet switch built for homes, small offices, and departments that need instant wired connectivity without touching a configuration menu. It delivers a 16 Gbps switching capacity across all ports, so it moves file transfers, backups, and streaming traffic without becoming a bottleneck. Every port runs at 1000BASE-T Gigabit speeds with auto MDI/MDIX, which means installers can plug in any standard network cable without worrying about crossover wiring. In addition, the DGS-108 uses a fanless metal housing, so it runs silently and holds up well in Nairobi’s warmer office environments where dust and heat shorten the life of fan-cooled equipment. Because it is fully plug-and-play, small businesses in Westlands, Kilimani, or upcountry branch offices can extend a network in minutes, whether adding desks, security cameras, or a VoIP phone system to an existing setup.
Key Features
- 8 x Gigabit Ethernet ports (1000BASE-T) with auto-negotiation for instant plug-and-play expansion
- 16 Gbps non-blocking switching capacity for smooth simultaneous multi-device traffic
- Fanless metal housing for silent, dust-resistant operation in warm office environments
- 802.1p QoS with 4 priority queues per port, helping VoIP calls and video stay smooth on a busy network
- 802.3az Energy-Efficient Ethernet (EEE) support, which lowers power draw on idle or short-cable ports
