D-Link DGS-1210-28 28-Port Gigabit Smart Managed Switch (Non-PoE)
The D-Link DGS-1210-28 is a 28-port Gigabit smart managed switch built for businesses that need serious Layer 2 network control without the added cost of PoE they don’t require. It combines 24 x 10/100/1000BASE-T copper ports with 4 x Gigabit combo ports that accept either RJ45 or SFP fiber transceivers, giving network designers flexibility on how they connect to a core switch or ISP handoff. With a 56 Gbps switching capacity and a 41.7 Mpps packet forwarding rate, it moves traffic across a fully loaded 28-port network without introducing bottlenecks. Because it is a smart managed switch, it supports VLANs, Spanning Tree Protocol (STP/RSTP/MSTP), Link Aggregation, and Layer 2+ static routing, so administrators can segment traffic between departments, guest networks, and internal systems. In addition, features like Auto Voice VLAN and Surveillance Mode automatically prioritize VoIP and ONVIF camera traffic even without full enterprise-grade configuration. This makes the DGS-1210-28 a practical core or aggregation switch for Kenyan offices, schools, and retail operations that already have separate PoE injectors or PoE cameras with their own power, and simply need dependable, manageable Gigabit connectivity at scale.

Best Suited For
- Offices and schools needing a manageable core switch, using VLANs and Spanning Tree to segment departments or classrooms without PoE overhead
- Businesses already running PoE injectors or self-powered cameras, who need dense Gigabit connectivity and fiber uplink options rather than switch-supplied power
- IT administrators building a fiber-connected network backbone, using the 4 combo ports to link this switch to a core switch or ISP handoff over SFP
