D-Link DGS-1008A Rev F 8-Port Gigabit Easy Desktop Switch
Eight auto-negotiating 10/100/1000BASE-T RJ-45 ports and no dedicated uplink, SFP, or PoE output. Do not apply these revision F figures to visually similar D-Link switches or other DGS-1008A hardware revisions.
MODEL IDENTIFICATION: DGS-1008A, hardware revision F (F1 data sheet; confirm label). Match the complete model and hardware revision on the label before applying specifications.
Exact specifications and compatibility
| Cataloged model / revision | DGS-1008A Rev F — DGS-1008A, hardware revision F (F1 data sheet; confirm label) |
|---|---|
| Dedicated subcategory | Unmanaged switches |
| Ports and line rates | 8 × 10/100/1000BASE-T RJ-45; nominal negotiated link rate up to 1 Gb/s per port. |
| Switching capacity | 16 Gbps manufacturer switching fabric; this is aggregate switching capacity, not a measured application-throughput result. |
| PoE | No PoE input or output is specified for this model. |
| Uplink and media | No dedicated uplink or optical cage; all ports are copper RJ-45 and any port may connect upstream. Use standards-compatible twisted-pair Ethernet cable. |
| Power | External 5 V DC / 1 A adapter; maximum power consumption 4.8 W per the revision F1 data sheet. |
| Form factor | Fanless desktop enclosure with external low-voltage adapter. |
| Host compatibility | Connects standard copper-Ethernet devices without host drivers. Verify DGS-1008A revision and the adapter’s DC output/polarity before replacing its supply. |
| Compatibility caveat | Eight auto-negotiating 10/100/1000BASE-T RJ-45 ports and no dedicated uplink, SFP, or PoE output. Do not apply these revision F figures to visually similar D-Link switches or other DGS-1008A hardware revisions. Confirm regional SKU, revision, supported cable category and adapter rating; nominal link rates do not guarantee end-to-end throughput. |
| Management / drivers | Unmanaged Layer 2 switch; no switch configuration interface or host driver is required. Do not infer VLAN, routing, PoE, or managed-switch features. |
Model-specific notes
Eight auto-negotiating 10/100/1000BASE-T RJ-45 ports and no dedicated uplink, SFP, or PoE output. Do not apply these revision F figures to visually similar D-Link switches or other DGS-1008A hardware revisions. Switching capacity is the manufacturer’s aggregate fabric figure; it is not a benchmark. The switch does not provide Internet access by itself and requires an upstream network/router for external connectivity.
