D-Link DGS-F1026P-E 24-Port Gigabit PoE+ Unmanaged Switch

Product Overview

The D-Link DGS-F1026P-E 24-Port Gigabit PoE+ Unmanaged Switch is a network connectivity solution designed for business networks, CCTV surveillance systems, offices, and professional networking environments. It features 24 Gigabit Ethernet ports with Power over Ethernet (PoE+) support and two additional SFP uplink ports, providing flexible connectivity for multiple network devices.
With a total PoE power budget of 250W, the DGS-F1026P-E can supply both data connectivity and electrical power to compatible devices through a single Ethernet cable. This simplifies installations and reduces the need for separate power adapters near connected devices. It is suitable for connecting IP cameras, wireless access points, IP phones, computers, and other compatible network equipment.
The switch supports plug-and-play installation, allowing users to connect network devices without complicated configuration. Its additional operating modes, including Extend, VLAN, QoS, and PoE reset functionality, provide practical options for surveillance and business networking applications.

High-Speed Gigabit Networking

The 24 Gigabit Ethernet ports support data rates of up to 1000 Mbps per port, helping provide fast wired connectivity for computers, network storage devices, printers, surveillance equipment, and other Ethernet-enabled devices.
With a switching capacity of 52 Gbps, the switch is designed to handle traffic across connected network devices efficiently. It is suitable for expanding wired network infrastructure in small and medium-sized businesses, offices, and surveillance installations.

Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+)

The DGS-F1026P-E supports IEEE 802.3af/at PoE standards, allowing compatible devices to receive network data and electrical power through a single Ethernet cable.
Its 250W total PoE power budget supports installations with multiple powered devices, subject to the available power budget and individual device requirements. This can simplify cabling and provide greater flexibility when installing devices in locations where power outlets are limited.

Long-Range PoE Connectivity

The switch features an Extend mode that supports data and PoE transmission over distances of up to 250 metres on ports 1–8 under supported conditions. This feature is particularly useful for CCTV installations and other deployments where network devices are located far from the main switch.
When using Extend mode, the supported ports operate at a reduced data rate of 10 Mbps. Actual transmission distance and performance depend on the cabling, installation conditions, and connected equipment.

Flexible SFP Uplink Connectivity

Two SFP ports provide additional uplink options for compatible fibre-optic networking equipment. These ports can help connect the switch to other network infrastructure, supporting flexible network expansion over suitable uplink connections.

Network Management Features

Although the DGS-F1026P-E is an unmanaged switch, it includes selectable operating modes for common networking requirements.
VLAN Mode: Helps isolate connected ports for improved network separation.
QoS Mode: Prioritises selected traffic, helping support smoother video transmission.
PoE Reset: Can automatically power-cycle certain unresponsive PoE devices.
Extend Mode: Supports longer-distance PoE and data transmission on ports 1–8.
These features make the switch particularly useful for network and CCTV installations that require straightforward setup with additional practical functions.
