Designed for SOHO and SMB networks

The D-Link DGS-1018P is an 18-port Gigabit unmanaged PoE switch built for small offices and growing businesses. It delivers high-speed wired connectivity while reducing energy use and keeping noise to a minimum. The unit ships with a power adapter and a quick installation guide.

Suits teams adding PoE devices without a managed

This switch fits deployments that need to power cameras, access points or VoIP phones through the network cable. It is not for administrators who require VLAN configuration, SNMP monitoring or link aggregation. Buyers needing remote management or advanced traffic shaping should look at managed alternatives.

240 W total PoE budget decides device count

The switch offers a 240 W PoE budget shared across all powered ports. This figure determines how many endpoints you can run simultaneously without an external injector. Check the power draw of each device against this limit before planning your installation.

Questions about this item

How do I install the DGS-1018P and which step is often missed?

Mount the switch using the included brackets, connect the 12 V DC power adapter, then plug devices into the 16 PoE ports and uplinks into the two SFP slots; the step often missed is verifying the total PoE draw stays within the 240 W budget before powering on

What maintenance or replacement will the DGS-1018P need later?

The fanless design has no moving parts to service; only the external 12 V DC power adapter may need replacement if it fails, and the SFP transceivers can be swapped if uplink requirements change

What limit appears first on the DGS-1018P under sustained heavy load?

The 240 W PoE budget is the first constraint; if connected devices draw more than 240 W combined, the switch will stop supplying power to additional ports until the load drops below the budget
