D-Link DXS-1210-28T

Overview

The D-Link DXS-1210-28T is a smart managed switch designed to provide high-speed networking with twenty-four 10G Ethernet copper ports and four 25G SFP28 uplink ports for fiber connections. It is built to support organizations that require faster data transfer rates beyond gigabit speeds, offering flexible connectivity options for servers, network-attached storage, and core switches. With Layer 3 Lite routing, it enables efficient traffic management between VLANs, reducing latency and improving network performance.

Key features

• Twenty-four 10G Ethernet ports deliver fast and reliable copper connectivity for demanding network environments.
• Four 25G SFP28 uplink ports support fiber modules, allowing high-bandwidth links to servers or core switches without bottlenecks.
• Layer 3 Lite routing facilitates local inter-VLAN traffic, minimizing router load and improving data flow between departments.
• Access Control Lists and RADIUS authentication provide robust security by controlling user access to sensitive network resources.
• Automatic voice and surveillance VLAN recognition prioritizes IP phone calls and video streams to maintain clarity and smooth playback during peak usage.
• D-Link Green technology reduces power consumption by adjusting port power based on cable length, putting idle ports to sleep, and controlling fan speed according to temperature.
• Compliance with NDAA standards and a lifetime warranty make it suitable for government and commercial deployments.

Key specs

• Ports: 24 x 10G Ethernet (copper), 4 x 25G SFP28 (fiber uplinks)
• Routing: Layer 3 Lite for inter-VLAN traffic management
• Security: Access Control Lists, RADIUS authentication
• Energy efficiency: D-Link Green technology with port power scaling and fan speed control
• Form factor: Rack-mountable design

Connectivity and compatibility

This switch supports a wide range of network setups by combining high-speed copper ports with fiber uplinks. The 10G Ethernet ports are ideal for connecting workstations and servers using standard copper cables, while the 25G SFP28 ports accept fiber modules for longer distance or higher bandwidth connections. It integrates smoothly into existing infrastructures and supports VLAN segmentation to organize network traffic efficiently.

Performance and reliability

Designed to handle heavy data loads, the switch ensures smooth operation even during peak network activity. Its Layer 3 Lite routing reduces latency by managing traffic locally between VLANs, which is especially beneficial in environments with multiple departments or teams. The built-in security features protect sensitive data, and the energy-saving technologies help maintain low operating costs without sacrificing performance.

Ideal uses and environments

This switch is well suited for fast-growing offices, creative studios handling large media files, and research labs processing extensive data sets. Its combination of high-speed ports and advanced management features makes it a strong choice for organizations that need scalable bandwidth and secure, efficient network segmentation. The rack-mountable design fits neatly into standard server rooms and data centers.

We act solely as a reseller. Any product warranty is provided and administered by the manufacturer, not by our store. That means eligibility, coverage, and outcomes are determined by the manufacturer’s policy for each brand and model. Before purchasing, we recommend reviewing the warranty terms on the manufacturer’s website or in the product documentation to confirm what is covered and for how long.

If you need warranty service, please file the claim directly with the manufacturer. They may require proof of purchase, the product serial number, original packaging, photos, or basic troubleshooting. Some brands ask you to register the product or obtain a case number before shipping it for repair or replacement. We don’t submit or approve claims, but we can point you to the correct support links and contact details.

Keep your invoice and packaging in a safe place, and report any functional issues to the manufacturer as soon as they appear. If you’re unsure whether a problem is covered, the manufacturer’s support team can confirm next steps and timelines. While we cannot intervene in decisions or outcomes, we’re happy to provide purchase documentation or guidance so you can move through the warranty process smoothly.
