D-Link Gigabit Stackable Smart Managed Switch with 10G Uplinks

Overview

The D-Link DGS-1510-52XMP is a 52-port Gigabit stackable smart managed switch designed to enhance network capacity and power delivery without requiring a complete overhaul of existing infrastructure. It features 48 PoE+ ports with a pooled 740 watt budget when paired with an optional redundant power supply, supporting devices like IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones through a single cable. Four dedicated SFP+ cages provide 10 Gigabit uplinks for high-speed connections to core switches or servers, making it suitable for growing networks in environments such as branch offices, classrooms, and retail floors.

Key features

• 48 Gigabit PoE+ ports deliver both data and power, simplifying device connectivity and reducing cable clutter.
• Four 10 Gigabit SFP+ uplink ports enable fast and reliable backhaul to core network components.
• Stacking capability of up to six units allows management of as many as 288 access ports under a single IP address, streamlining administration.
• Layer 2 and Layer 3 Lite functions, including VLAN segmentation, MSTP, and static routing, organize traffic efficiently and support local inter-VLAN communication.
• Intuitive web interface combined with a full command line interface offers flexible management options for both everyday tasks and advanced configurations.
• D-Link Safeguard Engine monitors network traffic to detect and block common attack patterns, enhancing network stability and security.
