D-Link 8-Port Gigabit Unmanaged Desktop Switch

Wi-Fi is convenient. Wired is faster, more stable, and more reliable. The D-Link DGS-108 Gigabit Unmanaged Desktop Switch gives you eight full-speed Gigabit ports in one compact, fanless metal unit — no configuration, no complexity, no compromise. Plug it in and instantly expand your network to eight wired devices at speeds up to 10 times faster than standard 10/100 Ethernet connections.

Product Details

The D-Link DGS-108 is a plug-and-play 8-port Gigabit Ethernet switch built for home offices, SOHO setups, and small to medium businesses. Its 16 Gbps non-blocking switching fabric delivers full Gigabit speeds across all eight ports simultaneously without traffic bottlenecks. The rugged all-metal housing dissipates heat passively — no fan, no noise, no moving parts to fail. Dual-colour LED indicators on each port show link status and speed at a glance. Auto MDI/MDIX support eliminates crossover cable confusion, and IEEE 802.3az Energy-Efficient Ethernet automatically powers down idle ports to reduce energy consumption. It mounts on a desktop or wall — whichever fits your workspace.

D-Link DGS-108 Gigabit Switch: Why It Stands Out

D-Link DGS-108 Gigabit Switch Delivers Zero-Lag Wired Performance

Eight ports. 16 Gbps switching fabric. Full wire-speed throughput on every port simultaneously. Whether you are transferring large files between workstations, running 4K video streams, managing VoIP calls, or connecting gaming consoles — the DGS-108 handles it all without slowdown or packet loss. IEEE 802.1p QoS automatically prioritises time-sensitive traffic, keeping voice and video smooth even when the network is under heavy load. This is the kind of consistent, predictable performance that Wi-Fi simply cannot match.

D-Link DGS-108 Gigabit Switch Runs Silently in Any Environment

The fanless all-metal chassis is the DGS-108’s most practical design advantage. Without a fan, there is no noise — making it perfectly suited for quiet office environments, shared workspaces, meeting rooms, reception areas, and home setups. The metal housing passively dissipates heat, protecting internal components and extending the product’s operational life far beyond plastic-bodied alternatives. It sits flat on a desktop or mounts flush on a wall using the built-in keyhole slots — clean, compact, and completely unobtrusive.

D-Link DGS-108 Gigabit Switch Is Built to Save Energy

Kenya’s power costs are real. The DGS-108’s IEEE 802.3az Energy-Efficient Ethernet automatically detects idle or disconnected ports and reduces power to them — cutting energy consumption without any manual input. The switch also calibrates power based on cable length, using only what is needed for each connection. Compliant with Energy Star Level V and RoHS standards, it is a responsible choice for businesses and households that care about both performance and operating costs.
