The D-Link DES-3052P Managed 48-Port PoE Stackable Switch is a powerful and versatile solution for medium to large businesses looking to build or expand their network infrastructure with ease. Featuring 48 Fast Ethernet PoE ports, it provides both data connectivity and Power over Ethernet (PoE) capabilities, making it ideal for connecting and powering devices like IP cameras, VoIP phones, and wireless access points without the need for additional power adapters. With a 370W PoE power budget and up to 15.4W per port, it can efficiently support a wide range of power-hungry devices.

This switch also includes 2 Gigabit combo ports that can be used for high-speed uplinks or connections to additional switches, offering flexible network expansion. The stackable design supports up to 32 units per stack, allowing businesses to scale their networks easily while maintaining centralized management and reducing complexity. The 4 Gbps stacking bandwidth ensures fast data transmission across the network.

The DES-3052P is equipped with a rich suite of Layer 2 features, including VLAN support, Spanning Tree Protocols (STP, RSTP, MSTP), and Link Aggregation, enabling enhanced network segmentation, redundancy, and performance. Additionally, it provides IPv4 static routing capabilities, offering Layer 3 functionality for better traffic management and efficient routing between different subnets.

With its advanced management options, including a web-based GUI, Command Line Interface (CLI), SNMP, and SSH/SSL support, the DES-3052P ensures secure and intuitive control over network settings. It also supports D-View Network Management System (NMS) for more streamlined monitoring and management of large networks.

The DES-3052P places a strong emphasis on security, offering features like 802.1X port-based access control, Access Control Lists (ACLs), IP-MAC-Port Binding (IMPB), and RADIUS/TACACS+ authentication. These ensure that network resources are safeguarded against unauthorized access and threats.

Designed with QoS (Quality of Service) capabilities, it can prioritize critical network traffic, ensuring smooth performance for applications like VoIP, video streaming, and online collaboration. Its fan-cooled, rack-mountable design fits seamlessly into standard 19-inch racks, making it suitable for installation in server rooms and network closets.

The D-Link DES-3052P is a feature-rich and scalable switch that combines the flexibility of PoE, robust management options, and stackability to meet the needs of growing business networks. Its high-performance switching capacity, energy efficiency, and reliable security make it an excellent choice for building a secure and efficient network infrastructure.
