18-Port Fast Ethernet PoE Switch with 2 Gigabit Uplink Ports
DES-1018MP
The D-Link DES-1018MP 18-Port Fast Ethernet PoE Switch with 2 Gigabit Uplink Ports enables 
users to easily connect and supply power to PoE-capable devices such as wireless access points 
(APs),  network  cameras,  and  IP  phones. The  DES-1018MP  can  also  connect  other  Ethernet 
devices like  computers, printers and network attached  storage (NAS)  to t into any  type of 
network application.
Power Over Ethernet IEEE 802.3af
The DES-1018MP  features 16 ports  that support  the  IEEE 802.3af  PoE protocol. Each  of  the 
PoE ports can supply up to 15.4 watts, with a total PoE budget of 246.4 watts, allowing users 
to attach an IEEE 802.3af-compliant device to the DES-1018MP without requiring additional 
power. PoE is especially suitable for devices that are far from power outlets or when users want 
to minimise the clutter of extra cables as power is supplied via the Ethernet cables themselves.
Expand Your Network
The addition of 2 Gigabit combo uplink ports means businesses can increase their network 
bandwidth  via  wired  speed  while  oering  redundancy  so  voice  and  surveillance  data  are 
transferred reliably. The combo design can increase bandwidth by oering two Gigabit copper 
or bre connections, giving administrators more options for expansion.
Cut Your Energy Costs
To  help  small  businesses  save  on  operating  costs,  the  DES-1018MP  supports  IEEE  802.3az 
Energy Ecient Ethernet (EEE). This feature senses network trac to automatically put ports 
that are not being used to sleep and also powers them on as required. The DES-1018MP also 
features a smart fan that automatically adjusts itself to reduce power consumption and noise 
whenever possible to conserve energy, so users can reinvest the cost-savings back into their 
business.2
