Extended Range Technology Features

250-Meter Transmission Capability

The switch incorporates specialized circuitry that extends standard Ethernet transmission distances from the typical 100 meters to an impressive 250 meters using Cat5e or Cat6 cabling. This extended reach capability eliminates the need for additional intermediate switches or repeaters in long-distance installations, significantly reducing infrastructure complexity and costs.

Intelligent Power Management System

The 120W power budget distributes efficiently across all eight PoE+ ports, with automatic detection and identification of IEEE 802.3af/at standard powered devices. The intelligent power allocation prevents damage to non-PoE equipment while ensuring optimal power delivery to compatible devices based on their specific requirements.

Four Professional Operating Modes

Extend Mode for Long-Distance Applications

In Extend mode, ports 1-8 support the full 250-meter transmission distance while maintaining power delivery capabilities. This configuration proves invaluable for surveillance installations where cameras must be positioned far from network equipment, or for wireless access points covering extensive outdoor areas.

VLAN Mode for Network Segmentation

VLAN mode isolates ports from each other, creating separate broadcast domains that effectively suppress network storms and improve overall network performance. This segmentation enhances security by preventing unauthorized access between connected devices while maintaining centralized management capabilities.

PoE Mode for Power Management

The dedicated PoE mode provides automatic detection of powered device status, including power-off and restart capabilities when PD devices experience failures. This proactive power management ensures continuous operation of critical devices like security cameras and wireless access points.

QoS Mode for Traffic Prioritization

Quality of Service mode enables customized application prioritization, ensuring time-sensitive traffic like video surveillance streams receive priority treatment. This feature proves essential for maintaining smooth video transmission in security applications where real-time monitoring capabilities are critical.

Professional Installation Applications

Surveillance System Deployment

Security integrators leverage the extended transmission distance for positioning IP cameras in optimal surveillance locations without infrastructure constraints. The combination of high PoE+ power budget and 250-meter reach eliminates the need for additional power supplies or network equipment in remote camera locations.

Wireless Network Expansion

Enterprise wireless deployments benefit from the ability to power access points at extended distances from network closets. The D-Link DGS-F1010P-E 8GE PoE+ 2GE Uplink 250m PoE Switch enables comprehensive wireless coverage across large facilities, outdoor areas, and multi-building campuses without requiring additional electrical infrastructure.

Industrial IoT Connectivity

Manufacturing facilities and industrial environments utilize the switch’s extended reach capabilities for connecting IoT sensors, monitoring equipment, and automated systems positioned throughout production floors and facility perimeters.

Advanced Protection and Reliability Features

Lightning Protection Technology

The integrated 6kV lightning protection safeguards connected equipment from electrical surges and atmospheric discharge events. This protection proves essential for outdoor installations and facilities in areas prone to electrical storms, ensuring continuous operation and equipment longevity.

Flow Control and Data Integrity

IEEE 802.3x flow control on each port minimizes packet loss during high-traffic conditions by managing data transmission rates based on receiving buffer capacity. This feature ensures reliable communication for all connected devices, particularly important for mission-critical applications.

Network Integration and Compatibility

Auto-Negotiation and Cable Detection

Each port supports automatic MDI/MDIX detection and configuration, eliminating the need for crossover cables and simplifying installation procedures. The switch automatically negotiates optimal connection parameters with connected devices, ensuring maximum performance without manual configuration.

Uplink Port Flexibility

The two dedicated Gigabit uplink ports provide high-bandwidth connections to core network infrastructure, supporting link aggregation and redundant connectivity options. These uplinks ensure adequate bandwidth for all connected devices while maintaining network performance during peak usage periods.

Simplified Deployment and Management

Zero-Configuration Operation

The plug-and-play design eliminates complex setup procedures, allowing immediate network operation upon connection. IT administrators can deploy the D-Link DGS-F1010P-E 8GE PoE+ 2GE Uplink 250m PoE Switch without specialized configuration knowledge or time-consuming setup processes.

DIP Switch Mode Selection

Operating mode selection through physical DIP switches provides reliable configuration that persists through power cycles and network disruptions. This hardware-based configuration approach ensures consistent operation without dependency on software management interfaces.
