D-Link DGS-F1006P-E Switch with 4 PoE Ports and 2 Uplink Ports

The D-Link DGS-F1006P (often referred to as the DGS-F1006P-E) is a 6-port, unmanaged Gigabit Power over Ethernet (PoE) switch designed for small offices, home networks, and IP surveillance systems. It combines high-speed Gigabit connectivity with flexible power delivery, even for devices located far away from power outlets.

Key Specifications

• Total Ports: 6 ports (4 PoE ports + 2 Uplink ports).

• Speed: All ports support 10/100/1000 Mbps (Gigabit) speeds.

• PoE Standards: Supports IEEE 802.3af/at (PoE+).

• Power Budget: 60W total; supports up to 30W per individual PoE port.

• Long-Reach PoE: Using the “Extend” mode, it can transmit data and power up to 250 meters (at 10 Mbps) over Cat5e/6 cables.

• Switching Capacity: 12 Gbps.

• Surge Protection: Built-in 6kV lightning/surge protection for all ports.

• Form Factor: Compact, fanless metal casing (desktop/wall-mountable).

Smart Features (via DIP Switch)

The switch includes a set of physical DIP switches that allow you to easily toggle specific “smart” modes without needing any software configuration:

• Extend: Extends the transmission range of PoE and data up to 250 meters (on ports 1-4).

• VLAN: Isolates ports 1-4 from each other to suppress network storms and improve overall performance.

• QoS (Quality of Service): Prioritizes identified video traffic to ensure smoother video transmission, which is critical for IP surveillance/CCTV.

• PoE Auto-Recovery: Automatically detects unresponsive PoE devices and reboots them to restore functionality.

Ideal Use Cases

• IP Surveillance: Powers IP cameras while connecting them to an NVR via the uplink ports.

• Wireless Networking: Powers remote Wi-Fi Access Points in areas where electrical outlets are unavailable.

• Small Offices/Home: Provides an easy, plug-and-play way to expand wired network connections and power devices like VoIP phones.

   

It is a plug-and-play device, meaning it requires no initial configuration; it is ready to use immediately upon connecting your devices.
