DES-108/B Overview
- Plug and Play operation
- 8 Fast Ethernet ports
- Non-blocking architecture: simultaneous full speed on all ports
- Fanless, silent operation to fit in any environment
- Quality of Service (QoS) queues for traffic prioritisation
- Solidly built with metal housing
- D-Link Green™ technology, saves energy and increases the product’s lifespan
D-Link’s DES-108 Fast Ethernet switch provides a cost-effective way for SOHO and SMB to create a small network and connect computers, wireless Access Points, IP cameras, network printers and other Ethernet devices quickly and easily without complicated configurations. This switch comes with 8 Fast Ethernet ports with an auto-sensing function to detect the maximum speed of the connected devices, allowing you to run your network with the best possible performance. Its fanless design makes the DES-108 completely silent so it is ideal for offices, libraries or meeting rooms.
Robust design
The DES-108 is designed with durability and performance in mind. The sturdy metal housing will protect it against accidental harm, while helping to dissipate heat and to reduce stress on internal components. The visible LEDs allow for an easy reading of each port status, helping to troubleshoot connectivity problems. For a convenient placement, this switch comes with a wall mounting kit and a slot for a Kensington security lock to protect it from theft.
QoS (Quality of Service)
Despite being an unmanaged, Plug and Play switch, the DES-108 is able to classify network traffic by assessing the 802.1p field in the Ethernet frames, and forward them out of its ports depending on their priority. This allows for a smooth integration of video, voice and data traffic without delays or loss of quality.
Power-saving technology
The DES-108 is part of D-Link Green™, D-Link’s eco-friendly technology, providing energy savings, reduced power consumption, and a longer product lifespan without sacrificing operational performance or functionality. This switch implements the 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) standard, which can save a substantial amount of energy by detecting the port status, putting them in low-power, stand-by mode when no network traffic is detected. This helps businesses to save money by reducing their electricity bills with no compromise on performance.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the primary performance advantages of the D-Link DES-108/B in a small office network? +
The D-Link DES-108/B provides reliable Fast Ethernet connectivity with eight 10/100 Mbps ports. Its non-blocking switching architecture ensures maximum throughput for simultaneous data transfers. This desktop switch is optimized for environments needing stable, plug-and-play performance without the complexity of managed networking overhead, making it ideal for immediate bandwidth distribution across peripheral devices.
Does the D-Link DES-108/B support energy-saving features for 24/7 operation? +
Yes, this model incorporates D-Link Green technology, which automatically detects link status and cable length to adjust power consumption accordingly. By putting idle ports into sleep mode and scaling power for shorter cable runs, the DES-108/B significantly reduces operational energy costs while maintaining full network functionality during active periods.
Is the DES-108/B suitable for mounting in restricted desk spaces or wall areas? +
The DES-108/B features a compact, sturdy metal chassis designed for versatility. Its desktop form factor allows for unobtrusive placement on workstations, while the integrated wall-mount slots provide flexibility for deployments in server closets or behind furniture where space is at a premium, ensuring a tidy and organized cabling environment.
How does the DES-108/B handle data traffic prioritizing specific types of packets? +
This switch features 802.1p Quality of Service (QoS) support, which automatically prioritizes time-sensitive traffic. By intelligently tagging frames, the switch ensures that critical data like VoIP or video streaming is handled with lower latency compared to standard file transfers, resulting in smoother communication and more consistent performance during high-traffic intervals.
Does the DES-108/B require any software configuration before deployment? +
The DES-108/B is a true plug-and-play unmanaged device. It requires no software, firmware, or driver installation to operate. Simply connect your Ethernet cables from your router or other network devices into the ports, and the switch will immediately begin auto-negotiating speeds and duplex modes, making it an ideal solution for rapid network expansion.
What is the construction quality of the D-Link DES-108/B compared to plastic models? +
Unlike consumer-grade plastic switches, the DES-108/B is housed in a robust metal casing. This material choice offers superior heat dissipation, which is crucial for maintaining internal component longevity during continuous operation. The metal frame also provides enhanced electromagnetic interference (EMI) protection, ensuring signal integrity in environments where other electronic devices might cause background noise.
Can I use the DES-108/B to connect multiple high-bandwidth devices simultaneously? +
The DES-108/B supports full-duplex operation, allowing devices to send and receive data concurrently. With eight ports available, you can connect printers, PCs, and VoIP phones simultaneously. While it is a Fast Ethernet device, it excels at managing internal traffic flow through its wire-speed forwarding capacity, effectively eliminating congestion across your local network segments.
Are the status LEDs on the DES-108/B helpful for troubleshooting network connectivity? +
The front panel is equipped with diagnostic LEDs for each port, providing real-time visual feedback on link status and activity. By observing these indicators, you can quickly identify whether a specific device is successfully connected or if there is a data transmission issue, allowing for efficient, at-a-glance monitoring of your network's health.
