D-Link DES-1018MPV2

Overview

The D-Link DES-1018MPV2 is an 18-port Fast Ethernet switch designed to deliver both data connectivity and power through Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+) technology. It features sixteen PoE+ ports capable of supplying up to 30 watts each, with a total power budget of 247 watts, making it suitable for powering IP cameras, VoIP phones, and wireless access points without additional wiring. Two Gigabit combo uplink ports support either RJ-45 copper or SFP fiber connections, providing flexibility for higher bandwidth or longer distance links.

This unmanaged switch is ideal for small offices, retail environments, studios, and home networks where quick deployment and silent operation are important. Its fanless design ensures noise-free performance, while built-in surge protection and extended cable reach enhance reliability and installation options.

Key features

• Sixteen Fast Ethernet ports with PoE+ support deliver both data and power over a single cable, simplifying device installation.
• Two combo Gigabit uplink ports allow flexible connections via copper or fiber, accommodating different network backbones.
• Built-in 2 kV surge protection safeguards connected devices from power spikes and lightning strikes, enhancing network durability.
• Extended mode supports cable runs up to 250 meters, enabling connection of distant devices like cameras or access points without extra hardware.
• Isolation mode improves security and network stability by separating selected ports to prevent broadcast storms.
• Fanless thermal design ensures silent operation, making it suitable for noise-sensitive environments such as offices or living rooms.
• Energy Efficient Ethernet reduces power consumption during periods of low network activity, lowering operating costs.
• Plug and play setup requires no configuration, allowing quick deployment and minimal maintenance.

Connectivity and compatibility

The switch’s combination of Fast Ethernet PoE+ ports and Gigabit uplinks offers versatile connectivity options. The sixteen PoE+ ports provide power and data to devices like IP cameras, VoIP phones, and wireless access points, while the two combo uplink ports support either standard RJ-45 copper cables or SFP fiber modules. This flexibility allows integration into existing network infrastructures and supports longer distance or higher speed connections to routers or other switches.

Performance and reliability

Designed for stable and secure operation, the DES-1018MPV2 includes features that protect your network and devices. Surge protection guards against electrical damage, while isolation mode helps prevent network disruptions caused by broadcast storms. The fanless design eliminates noise and reduces mechanical failure points, and Energy Efficient Ethernet lowers power consumption during idle periods, contributing to cost savings and environmental friendliness.

Ideal uses and environments

This switch fits well in environments where multiple powered devices need to connect quickly and reliably without complex setup. It works well in small offices, retail stores, home surveillance systems, and studios. The extended cable reach and flexible uplink options make it a strong choice for installations requiring longer cable runs or fiber connectivity. Its silent operation and energy-saving features also make it suitable for noise-sensitive spaces and energy-conscious users.

After inspection, refunds are issued to the original payment method; allow 5–7 business days for the credit to post. Shipping, handling, customs duties, and import taxes are nonrefundable. If an item is used, incomplete, or not in original condition, a 30% restocking fee may apply. Direct exchanges are not offered; purchase the replacement and return the original for a refund.

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.
