Features
The DES-105/108 is a high performance switch designed specifically for
environments where traffic on the network and the number of users
increase continuously.
DES-105/108 implements D-Link’s Green Technology special power-
saving features under speed at 100Mbps that link status and adjust power
usage accordingly. Further, D-Link Green implements the newly ratified
IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet standard for reducing energy
consumption of network links during periods of low utilization by
transitioning interfaces into low-power state without interrupting the
network connection.
DES-105/108 has special front access design for Ethernet ports/LEDs to
help user easier to understand and control network status. Metal case
design is useful for strengthening cooling and suitable for departmental
environment, providing users the best performance. DES-105/108 was
specially designed for small to mid-size workgroups and can be installed
where space is limited.
The DES-105/108 is ideal for deployment with multiple high-speed
servers for 10Mbps or 100Mbps shared-bandwidth workgroups. With the
highest bandwidth at 200Mbps (100Mbps full-duplex mode), any port can
provide workstations with a congestion-free data pipe for simultaneous
access to the server.
The DES-105/108 is scalable, allowing two or more DES-105/108 to be
cascaded together. Since all ports support 200Mbps, any one of its five
ports may be used to cascade to an additional switch to open a Full-Duplex
Fast Ethernet pipe.
The DES-105/108 is the perfect choice for a department or office planning
to upgrade to Fast Ethernet. The DES-105/108 can accommodate 10Mbps
or 100Mbps devices, providing a flexible solution for existing (10Mbps)
Ethernet workgroups.
The DES-105/108 combines dynamic memory allocation with store-and-
forward switching to ensure that the buffer is effectively allocated for each
