D-Link DXS-1210-28S

Overview

The D-Link DXS-1210-28S is a 28-port smart managed fiber switch designed to deliver 10 Gigabit Ethernet speeds primarily through fiber connections. It features 24 SFP+ ports running at 10 GbE speeds and four combo SFP+ uplinks, making it well suited for campus networks, data centers, or growing office environments that require high-performance connectivity and smart management capabilities. This switch supports both Layer 2 and Lite Layer 3 functions, enabling efficient traffic management and network resilience.

Key features

• 24 SFP+ fiber ports and 4 combo SFP+ uplinks provide ample high-speed connections for servers, storage, and aggregation switches without bottlenecks.
• Layer 2 features like VLAN tagging and link aggregation allow flexible and resilient network topologies.
• Lite Layer 3 static routing helps keep inter-VLAN traffic local to the switch, reducing load on core routers.
• Quality of Service (QoS) engine prioritizes latency-sensitive traffic such as voice and video to maintain responsiveness during busy network conditions.
• Smart fan control adjusts cooling based on internal temperature, reducing power consumption and noise in wiring closets or open office spaces.
• Robust security with 802.1X port authentication, Access Control Lists (ACLs), and D-Link Safeguard Engine to block malicious traffic and prevent unauthorized access.
• Multiple management options including web browser interface, command line, and SNMP tools simplify administration and routine tasks like firmware upgrades and configuration backups.
• Hardware meets NDAA compliance and includes a lifetime warranty, ensuring reliability and regulatory adherence for long-term deployments.

Connectivity and compatibility

This switch is designed to integrate seamlessly into fiber-based network infrastructures, supporting high-speed connections to servers, storage arrays, and other switches. The 24 SFP+ ports and 4 combo uplinks allow flexible fiber optic connections, ideal for environments that demand low latency and high throughput. It supports standard network management protocols, making it compatible with existing network monitoring and configuration tools.

Performance and reliability

With its combination of Layer 2 and Lite Layer 3 capabilities, the switch efficiently manages traffic flows to maintain network stability and performance. The QoS engine ensures critical applications like voice and video maintain quality even under heavy load. The energy-efficient design with smart fans reduces operational costs and noise, while the NDAA compliance and lifetime warranty provide confidence in long-term reliability and security.

Ideal uses and environments

This switch fits well in medium to large enterprise networks, data centers, and campus environments where high-speed fiber connectivity is essential. It is a strong choice for IT teams needing to consolidate multiple 1 GbE links into a single 10 GbE platform or for organizations requiring secure, manageable, and scalable network infrastructure. Its features support environments that prioritize low latency, high throughput, and robust security controls.

Some items are not returnable: opened TVs/combos/monitors 37″+, opened computers or software, electronic downloads, opened consumables (film, paper, bulbs, media, ink), custom or modified computers, special-order or “nonreturnable” items, submerged underwater gear, and opened educational media.

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.
