D-Link A/NZ DMS-1250 Series multi-gigabit smart managed PoE+ switches

D-Link A/NZ has introduced the DMS-1250 Series of network switches, designed to meet the growing demand for high-performance connectivity in modern business environments. Featuring 2.5G ports across the range, the switches offer a significant boost in network speed, suitable for SMBs and enterprises looking to support bandwidth-hungry applications such as videoconferencing, high-resolution file transfers and cloud-based services.

The first product in the series is the DMS-1250-10SP, providing eight 2.5G PoE+ ports and two 10G SFP+ ports. The DMS-1250-12TP meanwhile provides eight 2.5G PoE+ ports, two 10GBASE-T and two 10G SFP+ ports. The PoE+ ports provide a high power budget to fulfil business needs, while the innovative PoE functions provide uninterrupted power delivery to all powered devices.

With advanced Layer 2 management capabilities, the series enables seamless, scalable networking that keeps pace with the rapid evolution of digital workloads. The multi-gigabit switches are also a good companion to the latest Wi-Fi access points that support 2.5G connectivity, maximising not only LAN but also Wi-Fi performance across the network.

The series’ PD-Alive feature can be used by IP surveillance networks to monitor the status of connected powered devices and verify their activity.​ The switches also come equipped with built-in internal fans that automatically adjust across five cooling levels to prevent the device from overheating.

The switches offer enhanced 6 kV surge protection on all 2.5G access ports, so that the network remains resilient and devices stay safe from electrical surges.​ There are also a variety of management tools on hand with D-Link’s Nuclias Connect and D-View 8 to meet users’ management requirements.

The versatile switches​ provide high-speed data transmission with 2.5GE to desktops and infrastructure devices, whilst providing crucial 10G uplinks for external connectivity. This high-speed uplink means the entire business can access external services without encountering data bottlenecks. Furthermore, they offer IEEE 802.3af/at (PoE/PoE+) to power remote devices.
