Switch D-Link DES-1008D/E, 8 ports 10/100, Desktop

This D-Link DES-1008D/E is an 8-port desktop switch aimed at home and small office networks where you need easy LAN expansion without unnecessary complications. It operates at 10/100 Mbps and is sufficient for typical tasks such as sharing internet, printers, NAS, or IP cameras in smaller environments. It is lightweight, compact, and has basic LED indicators to quickly see if everything is connected and active. The combination of support for key IEEE standards and a 24-month warranty makes it a reliable choice for 'plug and forget' scenarios.

What you get

You get 8 x RJ-45 ports, which means you can connect up to eight devices in the local network – computers, printers, routers, smart TVs, consoles, etc., without worrying about where your ports run out. The 2K MAC address table is more than enough for small and medium segmented networks in the office or at home. The 56K buffer helps for smoother packet transitions during normal traffic, so you don't feel any bottleneck under typical load. The operating temperature of 0 to 50°C gives peace of mind that even if you place it in a more closed cabinet or warmer room, it will manage. The LED indicators for Link/Act and Power allow you to quickly see which port has a link and whether the device is powered.

• 8 x RJ-45 ports give you enough options to expand your wired network at home or in a small office without the need for more expensive infrastructure.
• Support for IEEE 802.3, 802.3u, 802.3ab, 802.3x, and 802.3az ensures compatibility with a wide range of network devices and more efficient operation at different speeds.
• 2K MAC address table allows the switch to monitor and route traffic between dozens of devices without chaos in the traffic.
• 56K buffer memory helps for a more stable data transfer under normal office or home load.
• Operating temperature from 0 to 50°C gives flexibility on where to place it – on a desk, in a cabinet, or near other equipment.
• LED indicators Link/Act and Power allow you to quickly visually check if the switch is powered on and which ports are actually working.
• Compact weight of 265 g and power supply DC 5V 1.2A make it easy to mount and position almost anywhere.
• 24-month warranty gives you peace of mind for long-term use in a home or office environment.

Who it is suitable for

This switch is suitable if you want a simple and inexpensive extension of the wired network – for a small office, workshop, store, home office, or for combining several desktop PCs and devices. It is a good choice if you mainly use 10/100 connections and need stability rather than complex management features. It is not suitable if you are looking for gigabit connectivity for heavy file transfers, servers, or more serious media streaming.

The most sensible aspect of this model is the combination of 8 ports, basic but sufficient resources (2K MAC, 56K buffer), and stable standards, all packed in a compact case with a 2-year warranty. You plug it into the network and it just works.
