D-Link switches: DGS, DXS, DMS and DIS industrial series

D-Link switches span unmanaged desktop units, smart managed and fully managed gigabit switches, 10-gigabit and multi-gigabit models, and hardened industrial switches for cabinets and outdoor enclosures. The series prefix tells you the class: DGS for gigabit, DXS for 10 gigabit, DMS for multi-gigabit and DIS for industrial.

What this range covers

  • Unmanaged and smart gigabit switches (DGS-10xx, DGS-11xx, DGS-12xx)
  • Stackable managed switches (DGS-15xx, DGS-30xx, DGS-31xx, DGS-36xx)
  • 10-gigabit switches (DXS series) and multi-gigabit switches (DMS series)
  • Industrial switches (DIS series) for -40 to 75 degree environments
  • PoE and PoE+ models for cameras and access points
  • Long-range PoE switches for CCTV (DGS-F series)

Typical applications

  • Office and school networks
  • CCTV backbones with PoE cameras
  • Factory floors and outdoor cabinets
  • Data rooms needing 10-gigabit uplinks

Key capabilities

  • PoE budgets sized for IP cameras and access points
  • VLAN, QoS and link aggregation on smart and managed models
  • Stacking and redundancy on managed series
  • Extended-distance PoE mode on surveillance switches
  • DIN-rail mounting and wide temperature range on DIS models

Functions vary by model and firmware; see each model page and the official datasheet.

Selection questions

  • How many ports and how many PoE devices?
  • What uplink speed is needed between switches?
  • Will the switch sit in an air-conditioned room or in an outdoor cabinet?
  • Is central management or stacking required?

Frequently asked questions

What do DGS, DXS, DMS and DIS mean?

DGS marks gigabit switches, DXS 10-gigabit, DMS multi-gigabit (2.5 and 5 gigabit ports) and DIS industrial switches with hardened housings.

What is a long-range PoE switch?

A surveillance switch mode that lowers speed to extend PoE and data over longer copper runs to cameras. See the datasheet of the exact model.
