The D-Link® 8-Port Fast Ethernet Unmanaged Metal Desktop Switch with 4 PoE Ports (DES-1008PA) enables both home and office users to easily connect and supply power to Power over Ethenet (PoE) devices such as wireless Access Points (APs), IP cameras, and IP phones while adding more Ethernet devices like computers, printers, and Network Attached Storage (NAS) onto a network. Built with home and small business users in mind, this compact PoE switch operates quietly, making it ideal for use in virtually any room or office. The DES-1008PA features 4 10/100BASE-TX ports that support the IEEE 802.3af PoE protocol. Each of the 4 PoE ports can supply up to 15.4 Watts, a total PoE budget of 52 Watts, allowing users to attach an IEEE 802.3af-compliant device to the DES-1008PA without requiring additional power. Use PoE for applications that are far from power outlets or when you want to minimize the clutter of extra cables. The D-Link DES-1008PA is an 8-Port 10/100Mbps Ethernet Switch with four PoE Ports that can provide power to PoE-enabled devices such as wireless Access Points (APs), IP phones, and IP cameras.
