More ports. More power. More range. The D-Link DGS-F1100-10PS-E/B PoE Gigabit smart managed switch is built for businesses deploying IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones — with 96W of PoE budget, 250-metre extended reach, 6KV lightning protection, and full Layer 2 management in one compact, fanless unit.

Product Details

The D-Link DGS-F1100-10PS-E/B is a 10-port Gigabit smart managed switch with eight PoE+ ports and two SFP fibre uplink ports. All eight PoE ports support IEEE 802.3af and 802.3at standards, delivering up to 30W per port and a combined PoE power budget of 96W. PoE Extend mode pushes power and data up to 250 metres over standard Cat5e cable — far beyond the typical 100-metre PoE limit. Built-in 6KV surge protection guards every port against lightning strikes and electrical surges — critical for outdoor camera and access point installations across Kenya. Smart features include AI VLAN isolation, AI QoS video prioritisation, and PoE Watchdog — which automatically power-cycles frozen devices without manual reboots. The full web GUI and SNMP management interface give administrators Layer 2 control over VLANs, STP, link aggregation, bandwidth control, and storm control from any browser.

D-Link DGS-F1100-10PS-E/B PoE Gigabit Smart Managed Switch: Why It Stands Out

D-Link DGS-F1100-10PS-E/B PoE Gigabit Smart Managed Switch Powers Devices at 250 Metres

Standard PoE switches cap out at 100 metres. This switch breaks that barrier with AI Extend mode — delivering full IEEE 802.3af/at PoE power and data up to 250 metres over standard Cat5e cabling. For businesses deploying IP cameras on large compounds, access points across multi-building campuses, or intercoms along perimeter fencing, this eliminates the need for additional power injectors, repeaters, or additional power outlets at every device location. One cable run from the switch is all it takes.

D-Link DGS-F1100-10PS-E/B PoE Gigabit Smart Managed Switch Survives Kenya’s Electrical Conditions

Voltage spikes, lightning strikes, and unstable electrical current are realities across Kenya’s power grid — especially in areas where outdoor networking equipment is common. The built-in 6KV surge protection on all ports actively shields the switch and every connected device against sudden electrical surges. This is not optional protection — it is essential for any PoE switch powering outdoor cameras, rooftop access points, or external intercoms in Kenyan weather conditions.

D-Link DGS-F1100-10PS-E/B PoE Gigabit Smart Managed Switch Delivers Intelligent Network Control

Despite its compact form, this switch offers comprehensive Layer 2 management. AI VLAN isolates downlink ports from each other with a single setting — suppressing broadcast storms and improving security across the network. AI QoS prioritises video traffic automatically, ensuring smooth and uninterrupted IP camera and CCTV streaming. The PoE Watchdog detects unresponsive devices and power-cycles them automatically — keeping cameras and access points online around the clock without manual monitoring.

Who Uses This Switch

CCTV and Surveillance Installers — Security technicians deploying IP cameras across large compounds, estates, and commercial buildings use the 250-metre PoE Extend mode to reach remote camera positions without laying additional power infrastructure.

IT Administrators and Network Engineers — SME and enterprise IT teams use the full Layer 2 management suite — VLANs, STP, link aggregation, and bandwidth control — to segment traffic, prevent loops, and optimise performance across growing office networks.

Schools and Institutional Campuses — Institutions managing access points across multiple buildings use the extended PoE range and AI VLAN isolation to keep student, staff, and administrative networks fully separated without additional hardware.

Hospitality and Property Management — Hotels, apartment complexes, and managed estates deploy this switch to power and manage door intercoms, access control readers, outdoor cameras, and guest Wi-Fi access points from a single managed unit.
