D-Link Industrial Gigabit Unmanaged Switch

The DIS-100G Series Industrial Gigabit Unmanaged Switches are engineered to thrive where commercial-grade devices fail. Built for harsh industrial environments, these rugged switches deliver reliable, plug-and-play Ethernet connectivity on the factory floor, in outdoor enclosures, or within transport and utility networks. With a design that emphasizes durability, ease of deployment, and steady Gigabit performance, the DIS-100G series stands out as a backbone for critical edge networking. It offers a hardened, maintenance-free solution that minimizes downtime while maximizing data throughput for sensors, cameras, controllers, and other industrial devices. Whether you’re expanding an existing network or deploying a new control system, these switches provide a predictable, robust connection that keeps your operations running smoothly around the clock.

• Rugged, industrial-grade construction: A hardened metal enclosure and engineering focused on vibration and shock resistance ensure dependable operation in harsh environments, from factory floors to outdoor cabinets. Designed to endure continuous use without compromising performance, the DIS-100G series helps you reduce maintenance cycles and service disruptions.
• Plug-and-play, unmanaged simplicity: No complex configuration is required. These switches auto-negotiate link speed and duplex mode with connected devices, delivering a straightforward, reliable networking solution that’s ideal for edge deployments and quick installations.
• Gigabit Ethernet performance: Multiple RJ-45 Gigabit ports provide high-speed data transfer for bandwidth-intensive devices such as video cameras, PLCs, sensors, and industrial PCs. With low latency and stable switching, you can confidently handle real-time data streams and critical control traffic.
• Built for harsh environments: Designed for a wide operating environment, the DIS-100G switches resist temperature fluctuations, vibrations, and shocks that commonly occur in industrial settings. This durability helps protect your investment and keeps networking gear functioning when conditions are less than ideal.
• Flexible deployment and mounting options: The compact, rugged form factor supports convenient mounting on DIN rails or panels, enabling clean installations in control cabinets, machine enclosures, and other constrained spaces. Integrates easily into existing electrical infrastructure for scalable edge networking.

How to install D-Link Industrial Gigabit Unmanaged Switch

• Plan placement in a protected enclosure or data cabinet to shield the switch from direct exposure to dust, moisture, and temperature extremes.
• Mount the switch on a DIN rail or panel according to your cabinet layout, ensuring stable support and adequate clearance for cables and ventilation.
• Connect power: supply the appropriate DC power to the switch using the terminal block or connector specified for your model, observing correct polarity and secure connections.
• Terminate and route network cables: use shielded or unshielded Ethernet cables as appropriate, maintaining proper cable management to reduce interference and improve airflow.
• Connect devices: attach sensors, cameras, PLCs, and other Ethernet devices to the available RJ-45 ports, ensuring a secure link between endpoints and the edge switch.
• Power up and verify: once powered, check link lights to confirm port activity and link status. Since the DIS-100G is unmanaged, the network should begin forwarding traffic immediately without configuration.
• Finalize deployment: secure cable bundles, label ports, and document port assignments for future maintenance or expansion. Conduct a quick operational check to ensure critical devices are communicating as expected.
