D-Link DGS 1520-28MP

The DGS-1520-28MP is a Lite Layer 3 stackable Smart Managed Switch designed for small to medium-sized businesses that require a reliable network infrastructure with advanced features. This model includes 24 Gigabit Ethernet ports, four 2.5 GB Multi-Gigabit ports for high-speed connections, and four 10 GB ports (two 10G Base-T and two 10G SFP+) that serve as flexible uplinks or stacking interfaces. With support for stacking up to eight switches via hybrid copper and fiber connections, the system achieves a total stacking bandwidth of 80 GB and allows for scalable network expansions while maintaining a switching capacity of 188 Gbps per unit. The Power-over-Ethernet functionality delivers a total power output of up to 370 W with 30 W per port, suitable for powering Wi-Fi 6 access points and other PoE devices. Zero Touch Provisioning simplifies multi-site deployments through centralized pre-configuration, while advanced management features include dynamic routing, selective Q-in-Q tagging, and compatibility with the D-View 7 central management platform. The switch measures 440 mm in width, 260 mm in depth, and 44 mm in height, weighing 3.2 kg. For increased reliability, non-PoE models support power redundancy when connected to the DPS-520 Redundant Power Supply System via the management port. The automatic detection of power requirements for connected devices and comprehensive status reporting provide administrators with efficient network monitoring and maintenance capabilities.
