24-Port 10/100/1000 Mbps + 4 SFP SmartPro Switch

DGS-1500-28 *(This product has been discontinued)

D-Link Green™ V3.0 Technology
The DGS-1500 Series implements D-Link Green™ 3.0 Technology, which includes a power saving mode, smart fan, increased heat dissipation, and cable length detection. The power saving features include being able to schedule when to turn off LEDs and ports when not in use, and when to make the switch to enter hibernation mode. The switches can also detect the length of connected cables to automatically adjust power usage by saving energy on shorter cable connections of less than 20 meters. The switches can also support power-saving by link status, which drastically reduces power consumption by automatically toggling sleep mode on ports without a link The DGS-1500-28P and DGS-1500-52 both feature built-in smart fans that contribute to continuous, reliable, and eco-friendly operation of the switch. sing a thermal sensor that can detect temperature change, the fans can react accordingly by utilizing different fan speeds for different temperatures.

Advanced Features
The DGS-1500 Series features advanced features such as Virtual Stacking and Static Routing. Virtual Stacking reduces the number of IP addresses needed on a network by configuring up to 32 devices to appear as a single unit with one IP address. This simplifies network management for workgroups and allows you to expand your network with D-Link’s management software. In static routing, IP routes are manually entered into a routing table. The DGS-1500 Series switches support static routing, which allows for communication between different user groups in different VLAN segments in a network. The switches can fully handle the inter-VLAN routing making the network run faster and more efficiently. Because the switches can manage internal routing, the network router can be assigned to handle external traffic routing only.
