Description

Overview

The D-Link DGS-F1210-18 PSE is an 18-port Gigabit Smart Managed PoE+ switch engineered for businesses, CCTV installers, and network administrators who need dependable power and data delivery over a single cable. It combines sixteen 10/100/1000BASE-T PoE+ ports with two Gigabit SFP uplink ports, a generous 135 W PoE budget, and full Layer 2 management in a compact 19-inch rack-mountable chassis. Built around D-Link’s long-range surveillance switch platform, this model supports IEEE 802.3af/at Power over Ethernet with up to 30 W per port, so IP cameras, VoIP phones, wireless access points, and other powered devices can be installed exactly where they are needed — no separate power outlets required.

Designed with surveillance and structured-cabling projects in mind, the switch supports extended transmission distances of up to 250 metres on Long Reach PoE ports, making it practical for warehouses, campuses, parking areas, and large office floors where cameras and access points sit far from the network closet. The web-based management interface, console CLI, VLAN, QoS, and security toolset give IT teams enterprise-grade control, while D-Link Green power-saving technology automatically reduces energy consumption on idle or short cable runs. For any growing network in Pakistan — from a new office LAN to a multi-site CCTV deployment — the D-Link DGS-F1210-18 PSE delivers the right balance of PoE capacity, management features, and value.

Key Benefits

• Power and data on one cable: 16 PoE+ ports deliver up to 30 W each (IEEE 802.3af/at) with a 135 W total budget — run IP cameras, access points, and VoIP phones without electricians or power adapters.
• Built for surveillance: Long Reach PoE extends connectivity up to 250 m on designated ports, ideal for CCTV cameras mounted far from the switch.
• True smart-managed control: Web GUI and console CLI with VLANs, QoS, link aggregation, IGMP snooping, and port mirroring put you in charge of traffic and security.
• Flexible uplinks: Two Gigabit SFP slots accept fibre or copper SFP transceivers for clean, long-distance backbone connections to core switches or NVRs.
• Energy efficient: D-Link Green technology cuts power use on idle ports and short cable runs, lowering operating costs around the clock.
• Rack-ready and compact: Standard 19-inch 1U chassis (440 × 180 × 44 mm) with included mounting kit fits neatly into server racks and wall cabinets.
• Security hardened: 802.1X port authentication, DHCP snooping, ARP inspection, IP-MAC-Port binding, and loop protection defend against common Layer 2 attacks.

Detailed Features of the D-Link DGS-F1210-18 PSE

Powering a network of PoE devices is where many cheap switches fail — they either lack enough PoE budget or overheat under load. The D-Link DGS-F1210-18 PSE is purpose-built for this job. Its 135 W PoE budget comfortably powers a full load of typical IP cameras (most draw 7–12 W each) while leaving headroom for power-hungry devices like PTZ cameras and high-performance access points that need the full 30 W PoE+ allocation.

The Layer 2 feature set goes well beyond a basic smart switch. With 802.1Q VLAN support you can isolate camera traffic from office data and guest Wi-Fi on the same hardware — a standard best practice for surveillance networks. Eight hardware QoS queues with 802.1p prioritisation keep voice calls clear and video streams smooth even during congestion. IGMP snooping optimises multicast video traffic so dozens of camera streams do not flood the network, and link aggregation lets you bond ports for extra uplink bandwidth or redundancy.

Management is straightforward: the intuitive web interface covers everyday tasks such as VLAN setup, PoE scheduling, and port monitoring, while the RJ-45 console port provides CLI access for advanced configuration. SNMP support allows integration with network monitoring tools, and the system event log keeps a record of link and PoE events for troubleshooting. Automatic cable diagnostics help installers verify wiring on the spot. For surveillance projects, the switch’s long-reach capability on PoE ports means cameras up to 250 metres away can be connected over standard Cat5e/Cat6 cable — a genuine project advantage that reduces the need for intermediate switches or fibre runs.

• 18 Gigabit ports: 16 × 10/100/1000BASE-T RJ-45 PoE+ ports plus 2 × 1000BASE-X SFP uplink slots — connect up to 16 powered devices and uplink over fibre or copper.
• IEEE 802.3af/at PoE+: Up to 30 W per port, 135 W total PoE budget, with per-port PoE power management and scheduling through the web interface.
• Long Reach PoE: Extended transmission distance up to 250 m on designated ports for cameras and access points far from the wiring closet.
• 36 Gbps switching fabric: Non-blocking architecture handles full wire-speed forwarding across all ports simultaneously.
• 802.1Q VLAN: Tag-based VLANs for segmenting voice, video, data, and guest traffic on one physical switch.
• QoS with 8 queues: 802.1p traffic prioritisation plus SP, WFQ, and WRR scheduling algorithms keep latency-sensitive traffic flowing.
• Multicast optimisation: IGMP snooping (v1/v2/v3) prevents multicast video streams from flooding non-subscribed ports.
• Link aggregation: Combine multiple ports into high-bandwidth trunk groups with LACP support for uplinks.
• Port mirroring: Mirror traffic to an analyser port for diagnostics and intrusion monitoring.
• Layer 2 security: 802.1X port-based authentication, DHCP snooping, ARP inspection, IP-MAC-Port binding, BPDU filtering/protection, and loop protection.
• Management options: Web-based GUI, console CLI (RJ-45), SNMP, HTTPS/SSH secure access, and system event logging.
• D-Link Green: Automatic power reduction for idle ports, link-down ports, and shorter cable runs.
• IPv6 ready: Supports IPv4/IPv6 dual-stack management for future-proof deployments.
• Rack mounting: 1U 19-inch rack-mount chassis with brackets included; also suitable for desktop or wall-cabinet placement.

FAQs

Q1: How many PoE devices can the DGS-F1210-18 PSE power at once?
A: All 16 PoE+ ports can be active simultaneously, sharing the 135 W total budget. With typical IP cameras drawing 7–12 W, you can comfortably run 12–16 cameras, plus allocate up to 30 W per port for PTZ cameras or high-power access points.

Q2: What is Long Reach PoE and which ports support it?
A: Long Reach PoE extends the standard 100 m Ethernet limit up to 250 m on designated ports, allowing cameras and access points to be installed much farther from the switch over ordinary Cat5e/Cat6 cable. Check the port markings or manual to identify the long-reach ports.

Q3: Can I manage this switch remotely?
A: Yes. The web-based GUI and SNMP support allow remote configuration and monitoring over the network, and secure HTTPS/SSH access protects management traffic. A console CLI is also available via the RJ-45 console port.

Q4: Does it support VLANs for separating camera traffic?
A: Yes. 802.1Q tag-based VLANs let you isolate CCTV, voice, office data, and guest Wi-Fi traffic on the same switch — the recommended design for surveillance networks.

Q5: What SFP modules work in the two uplink ports?
A: The two 1000BASE-X SFP slots accept standard Gigabit SFP transceivers (SX multi-mode fibre, LX single-mode fibre, or copper RJ-45 SFPs) for uplinks to core switches, NVRs, or distant buildings.

Q6: Is this switch suitable for outdoor use?
A: It is designed for indoor installation in racks or cabinets (0–40 °C operating range). For outdoor deployments, install it inside a weatherproof, ventilated enclosure.
