D-Link DGS-1520 Series smart managed switches

D-Link A/NZ has launched the DGS-1520 Series of smart managed switches: the DGS-1520-28, DGS-1520-28MP, DGS-1520-52 and DGS-1520-52MP. With Layer 3 features and support for 10G, the switches are specifically engineered for small-to-medium business and enterprise networks.

The DGS-1520 Series is the successor to the DGS-1510 Series and the first of D-Link’s smart managed switches to support 10G Base-T ports for uplinks and stacking. The series includes a range of 28- and 52-port switches with a choice of 2.5GBASE-T PoE, 10GBASE-T and SFP+ uplink ports. All switches offer four 10 Gbps ports (two SFP+ and two 10GBASE-T), with PoE models additionally offering four 2.5GBASE-T ports.

High-bandwidth uplinks eliminate network bottlenecks and provide low-latency connections to core networks and servers, while multi-Gigabit PoE ports eliminate potential network bottlenecks when connecting to high-bandwidth 802.11ac/ax access points. With zero-touch provisioning, multisite network deployments are simple, and there is no need for onsite IT personnel.

The switches are designed to provide maximum uptime as well as high security, multiple management options and flexible stacking configurations with a powerful 80 Gb stacking bandwidth using fibre, copper or hybrid modes. Additionally, the range is compatible with D-Link’s latest DPS-520 PoE redundant power system, which can connect up to 4 non-PoE models of DGS-1520 for a resilient network.
