D-Link DES-1210-28P 28-Port PoE Smart Managed Switch 10/100 Gigabit Uplink Wty

D-Link DES-1210-28P — 28-Port PoE Smart Managed Switch

The D-Link DES-1210-28P delivers 24 x 10/100Mbps PoE-capable ports plus 4 Gigabit uplinks (2 x copper and 2 x combo SFP) in a 28-port smart managed rackmount package. Purpose-built for small-to-medium business networks powering IP cameras, VoIP phones, and wireless access points, this switch ships with a 12-month Reboot IT warranty.

Key Benefits

• 24-Port PoE Connectivity: Power IP cameras, VoIP phones, and access points directly over existing Cat5e/Cat6 cabling without separate power adapters.
• 4x Gigabit Uplinks: Two copper Gigabit ports and two combo SFP slots provide high-bandwidth links to core switches or fibre backbone equipment.
• Smart Managed Features: Web-based management console delivers 802.1Q VLAN, QoS prioritisation, IGMP snooping, and port mirroring without a full CLI licence.
• Rackmount Design: Standard 1U rackmount form factor fits any 19-inch server or network cabinet.
• 10/100Mbps Access Ports: All 24 PoE access ports operate at Fast Ethernet speeds — suited to IP cameras, phones, and wireless access points that do not require Gigabit.
• 12-Month Warranty: Professionally tested and graded by Reboot IT with a full 12-month warranty included.

Performance in Use

In a small business office or branch network, the DES-1210-28P slots naturally into the access layer. Connect your NVR or IP cameras on the PoE access ports, link your VoIP phones on the same ports without separate injectors, and uplink to a core switch via the Gigabit copper ports. The combo SFP slots let you extend the uplink over fibre when office distances exceed copper limits.

The smart management interface provides enough control for a typical SMB deployment — VLAN segmentation to separate voice, data, and camera traffic, QoS to prioritise voice packets, and IGMP snooping to keep multicast camera streams from flooding non-camera ports. All of this is accessible via a web browser with no command-line experience required.

For IT resellers building out managed SMB network infrastructure on a controlled budget, the DES-1210-28P offers a cost-effective way to deliver PoE and basic Layer 2 management across 24 access ports backed by a warranty you can quote to clients.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the DES-1210-28P support 802.3at (PoE+)?

The DES-1210-28P supports 802.3af PoE on its access ports. Check device power requirements before connecting high-wattage PoE+ devices (over 15.4W per port).

Can I use SFP modules for fibre uplinks?

Yes. The two combo SFP slots accept standard D-Link SFP modules (100BASE-FX or 1000BASE-SX/LX) for fibre uplink connectivity over longer distances.

Is this switch fully managed or smart managed?

Smart managed — it provides a web-based GUI with VLAN, QoS, IGMP snooping, and port mirroring, but does not support a full CLI or advanced routing features found on fully managed enterprise switches.

Can I rack mount this switch?

Yes. The DES-1210-28P ships with a 1U rackmount form factor and standard rack-mount brackets for installation in any 19-inch cabinet.
