D-Link DES-1228P — 24-Port Fast Ethernet PoE Web Smart Switch

The D-Link DES-1228P is a 24-port Fast Ethernet (10/100) switch with IEEE 802.3af PoE on every data port. Four Gigabit Ethernet uplink ports and two SFP slots provide high-speed backbone connectivity to a core switch. Web smart management enables VLAN, QoS, and IGMP snooping without full CLI complexity. Backed by a 12-month Reboot IT warranty.

Key Benefits

• PoE on all 24 data ports: 802.3af PoE (up to 15.4W per port) powers IP cameras, VoIP phones, and wireless access points without separate power injectors.
• 4× Gigabit uplink ports: Dedicated Gigabit Ethernet uplinks avoid Fast Ethernet bottlenecks on the backbone connection to a core or aggregation switch.
• 2× SFP slots: Fibre connectivity option for longer backbone runs or isolated network segments requiring fibre uplinks.
• Web smart management: 802.1Q VLAN, 802.1p QoS, IGMP snooping, and spanning tree configurable via web GUI — no CLI experience required.
• Cost-effective PoE coverage: Provides PoE to 24 devices at lower cost than a Gigabit PoE equivalent — practical for IP camera systems where 100Mbps per camera is sufficient.
• 1U rackmount: 19-inch rack mounting for structured comms room deployments alongside patch panels and other rack equipment.

Performance in Use

The DES-1228P is a practical choice for IP camera and VoIP phone installations where 100Mbps per device is more than adequate. Standard HD IP cameras (1–4MP) require only 2–8 Mbps of bandwidth each — well within 100Mbps capacity — meaning 24 camera connections via this switch comfortably feed a Gigabit uplink to an NVR or core switch without bottlenecks.

VLAN support allows separation of camera traffic from office data, and IGMP snooping prevents multicast video streams from flooding non-camera ports. The 4 Gigabit uplinks mean multiple separate backbone connections are available for redundancy or aggregation — a feature not common at this price point on older PoE switches.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does PoE work on all 24 ports?

Yes — all 24 Fast Ethernet data ports support 802.3af PoE (up to 15.4W per port). The 4 Gigabit uplink ports and 2 SFP slots do not carry PoE.

Is 802.3at (PoE+, 30W) supported?

No — the DES-1228P supports 802.3af PoE only (up to 15.4W per port). For 802.3at PoE+ devices requiring up to 30W, a PoE+ switch is required.

Is this a Gigabit switch?

The 24 data ports are Fast Ethernet (10/100 Mbps). The 4 dedicated uplink ports and 2 SFP slots are Gigabit. If you need Gigabit PoE to end devices, consider a Gigabit PoE switch.

What management features are available?

Web smart management includes 802.1Q VLAN tagging, 802.1p QoS, IGMP snooping, port mirroring, and spanning tree — sufficient for segmented camera or voice networks.
