D-Link DGS-F1210-18PS 16-Port Gigabit Smart Managed PoE Switch: High-Density Power & Fiber Connectivity
The D-Link DGS-F1210-18PS 16-Port Gigabit Long Range Smart Switch is a sophisticated, high-performance networking hub engineered for large-scale IP surveillance and enterprise-level business connectivity. Featuring 16 dedicated Power over Ethernet (PoE) ports and 2 SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) ports for fiber uplinks, this switch is the definitive backbone for demanding environments. Whether you are deploying a vast network of security cameras in Westlands, powering a full floor of IP phones in the Nairobi CBD, or connecting multi-building campuses in Kilimani, the DGS-F1210-18PS delivers industrial-grade power and management.
High-Density Power Delivery and Long-Range Efficiency
Choosing the D-Link DGS-F1210-18PS is the most effective way to consolidate your network infrastructure in Nairobi while overcoming the 100-metre distance barrier of standard Ethernet.
-
- 16 Full Gigabit PoE+ Ports: Every port supports 10/100/1000 Mbps speeds and is IEEE 802.3af/at compliant. With a massive 150W total PoE budget, it effortlessly powers a high density of devices, from Wi-Fi 6 access points in Upper Hill to specialized security hardware.
- 250-Metre Long Range Mode: Eliminate the need for expensive PoE extenders. By enabling the specialized “Extend” mode, you can deliver power and data to cameras at distances of up to 250 metres, ideal for perimeter security in large Kenyan estates or warehouses.
- Dedicated Dual SFP Fiber Ports: The two SFP slots provide high-speed fiber connectivity for uplinks. This is a critical feature for businesses in Parklands that need to connect to a core server or NVR over long distances with zero electromagnetic interference.
- Smart Managed Interface: Gain total control with an intuitive web-based GUI. Configure VLANs to isolate sensitive traffic, use QoS to prioritize video data, and monitor your network’s health in real-time from any location in Nairobi.
Why Choose the D-Link DGS-F1210-18PS in Kenya?
In Nairobi’s high-stakes corporate and security sectors, the D-Link DGS-F1210-18PS provides the “intelligent” self-healing features that keep your systems online 24/7.
1. Intelligent PoE Watchdog (PD Alive)
Maintenance is simplified with the built-in PoE Watchdog. If a connected device hangs or stops responding, the switch automatically detects the failure and reboots the specific PoE port. This ensures your surveillance in Westlands stays active without requiring a manual reset on-site.

2. 6KV Lightning & Surge Protection
Protect your enterprise investment from Nairobi’s unpredictable power spikes. The switch is built with 6KV surge protection on all ports, safeguarding the internal circuitry and your expensive connected hardware from electrical damage during thunderstorms.
