Product Highlights
Compact and Silent Design
Allows you to place the switch in any convenient
location, with the power connector and ports neatly
tucked away at the rear.
Power-over-Ethernet
Allows for exible installation for wireless Access
Points, IP cameras or IP phones
network connectivity with a single Ethernet cable.
Flow Control for Secure Transmission
802.3x ow control on each port minimises dropped
packets when the port’s receiving buff er is full. This
gives you a reliable connection for all your devices.

The DES-1008PA 8-Port Fast Ethernet PoE Desktop Switch enables both home and o ce users
to easily connect and supply power to Power over Ethernet (PoE) devices such as wireless
Access Points (APs), IP cameras, and IP phones while adding more Ethernet devices like
computers, printers, and Network Attached Storage (NAS) onto a network. Built with home and
small business users in mind, this compact PoE switch operates silently, making it ideal for use
in virtually any room or o ce.
Power over Ethernet IEEE 802.3af
The DES-1008PA features 4 10/100BASE-TX ports that support the IEEE 802.3af PoE protocol.
Each of the 4 PoE ports can supply up to 15.4 Watts, a total PoE budget of 52 Watts, allowing
users to attach an IEEE 802.3af compliant device to the DES-1008PA without requiring additional
power. PoE is especially suitable for devices that are far from power outlets or when you want to
minimise the clutter of extra cables.
Superior Performance
No con guration is required and installation is quick and easy. Support for Auto-MDI/MDI-X
on all ports eliminates the need for crossover cables when connecting to another switch or
hub. Auto-Negotiation on each port senses the link speed of a network device (either 10 or
100 Mbps) and intelligently adjusts for compatibility and optimal performance. The switch has
been designed without fans so you can be sure of silent operation wherever it is installed. The
DES-1008PA also features diagnostic LEDs, which display status and activity, allowing you to
quickly detect and correct problems on the network. With wire-speed ltering and store-and-
forward switching, the DES-1008PA also maximises network performance while minimising
the transmission of bad network packets. Combining the convenience of PoE, superior
performance, and ease of use, the 8-Port Fast Ethernet PoE Desktop Switch is the ideal choice
for adding PoE devices to either a home or small business network.
DES-1008PA 8-Port Fast Ethernet PoE Desktop Switch
Hassle-Free Setup
The 8-Port Fast Ethernet PoE Desktop Switch is a Plug-and-Play device
that requires no conguration, so setup is simple and hassle-free. Connect
multiple computers, share les, music, and video across your home or small
oce network, or even create a multi-player gaming environment.
Compact and Silent
The DES-1008PA has a compact and silent design, meaning it can be placed in
any location. The power connector and ports are all located at the rear of the
switch allowing the cables to be tucked away conveniently. The DES-1008PA
is fanless, so the switch operates silently, allowing you to work or play without
unnecessary noise distractions.
