D-Link 2 GbE 18-Port Fast Ethernet PoE+ Unmanaged Switch

The D-Link DES-1018MPV2 is a switch with eighteen network ports that combines Fast Ethernet connectivity and Power over Ethernet Plus, letting you carry data and power on the same cable. It suits small offices, retail stores, studios, and home environments where multiple powered devices must come online quickly without extra wiring.

Sixteen of the ports supply PoE+ that can deliver up to 30 watts each, and the overall budget of 247 watts is enough for a full array of IP cameras, VoIP phones, or ceiling-mounted wireless access points. Simply plug in the cable and the switch automatically provides the correct amount of power.

The remaining two ports are Gigabit combo uplinks. You can attach a standard RJ-45 cable for copper links or install an SFP module when you need a fiber connection, giving you flexibility for longer runs or higher bandwidth links to a router or another switch.

Durability features are in place as well. Built-in 2 kV surge protection helps guard against lightning strikes and power spikes, while Extended mode can send data and power up to 250 meters for distant cameras or access points. Isolation mode keeps selected ports separated to improve security or prevent broadcast storms.

A fanless thermal design keeps operation silent, so the switch can sit in a workspace or living room without adding noise. Energy Efficient Ethernet lowers power draw during quiet periods, helping reduce operating costs.

Whether you are installing a surveillance system at home, adding guest Wi-Fi in a café, or wiring phones in a startup office, the DES-1018MPV2 provides a foundation that is reliable and plug and play. Setup is straightforward, and ongoing maintenance stays minimal.
