D-Link 52-Port 10-Gigabit Smart Managed PoE Switch

The D-Link 52-Port 10-Gigabit Smart Managed PoE Switch is a cutting-edge networking solution crafted for Enterprise Access and Small-to-Medium Business (SMB) environments. It blends dense port capacity, robust Power over Ethernet delivery, and an advanced management stack to deliver reliable performance, simplified operations, and scalable growth. Designed to power modern networks with IP cameras, wireless access points, VoIP phones, and other PoE devices, this switch helps IT teams consolidate infrastructure, reduce cabling overhead, and accelerate deployment. With intelligent features for traffic shaping, security, and management, it provides a resilient platform for edge and access-layer networks, enabling smarter segmentation, improved application performance, and streamlined administration across distributed sites. Whether you’re rolling out a campus edge or building a scalable SMB LAN, this Smart Managed PoE switch delivers the control, visibility, and efficiency that modern networks demand.

• High-density PoE-enabled port footprint with 52 ports — This switch consolidates power and data on a single platform, enabling you to connect a wide range of PoE devices such as IP cameras, wireless access points, VoIP phones, and POS terminals. The dense port layout minimizes rack space consumption while simplifying cabling and reducing the footprint of your edge or access-layer deployments. Whether you’re upgrading an existing campus network or building a new SMB infrastructure, the 52-port design supports expansive growth without sacrificing manageability or performance.
• 10-Gigabit uplinks for scalable, low-latency performance — Leverage high-speed uplinks to your core network, servers, and storage, enabling fast inter-VLAN routing, virtualization, and data-intensive applications. The 10-Gigabit backbone provides ample headroom for heavy uplink traffic, ensuring smooth operation during peak periods and enabling future-proof connectivity as bandwidth demands increase. This capability is especially valuable for edge aggregation and distribution layers where fast, reliable backhaul is critical.
• Smart management with advanced VLANs, QoS, and security — The switch offers a feature-rich management plane, including a user-friendly web GUI, CLI access, and robust network controls. Create and enforce VLANs to segment traffic by department or service, implement QoS policies to prioritize business-critical applications, and enforce security with access control lists, port security, and 802.1X authentication. Additional features such as IGMP snooping, storm control, and comprehensive event logging help you optimize performance while safeguarding data across the network.
• Per-port PoE control with flexible power budgeting — Power devices directly from the switch with PoE-enabled ports and fine-tune power delivery to meet operational needs. Per-port PoE management supports scheduling, on/off control, and power budgeting to maintain energy efficiency, reduce unnecessary power consumption, and simplify maintenance windows. This capability is ideal for environments with diverse device mixes, allowing you to allocate power resources where they’re needed most while keeping costs under control.
• Reliable, scalable design engineered for enterprise and SMB growth — Built for round-the-clock operation, the switch emphasizes resilience and uptime with robust cooling, dependable power delivery, and scalable architecture. As your network expands, you can add capacity, expand PoE coverage, and maintain centralized management without replacing core infrastructure. The combination of performance, security, and manageability makes it suitable for a wide range of deployments—from branch offices and retail locations to manufacturing floors and educational campuses.

How to install D-Link 52-Port 10-Gigabit Smart Managed PoE Switch

• Unbox and mount the switch in a standard 19-inch rack using the included mounting brackets. Ensure the chassis is level and securely fastened to prevent vibration during operation.
• Connect the switch to a power source and power it on. If you have a redundant power supply option, install the second power supply for enhanced fault tolerance.
• Connect uplink ports to your core network or distribution layer using appropriate fiber (SFP+/RJ-45) modules or direct copper cables. Verify link status and ensure uplinks are properly routed in your network fabric.
• Populate PoE-enabled ports with devices such as IP cameras, wireless APs, and VoIP phones. Monitor PoE usage to avoid exceeding total power budgets, and configure per-port PoE scheduling if supported.
• Access the management interface by obtaining the switch IP address (via DHCP or console) and logging in with secure administrator credentials. Configure VLANs, QoS policies, ACLs, security settings, and access controls as needed, then save the configuration to ensure changes persist after a reboot.
• Perform basic validation: confirm end-device connectivity, validate PoE delivery to powered devices, test VLAN segmentation, and verify remote management access from your management workstation or network management system.
