The DGS-3130 Series is a highly versatile Lite Layer 3 stackable switch. Including powerful L2 & L3 features, as well as support for multiple software images, it is highly pliant, capable of accommodating different network deployments. With network bottlenecks on the rise, the DGS-3130 Series's six 10 Gigabit uplink ports are an ideal solution. Business can flexibly increase their bandwidth with flexibility to incrementally meet growing bandwidth demands. The DGS-3130 Series features built-in 6 kV surge protection on all PoE and non-PoE Gigabit Ethernet access ports without needing external surge protection. This effectively protects the switches against sudden electrical surges caused events such as lightning strikes or unstable electrical current. This significantly reduces the chances of equipment being damaged, effectively lowering maintenance costs by minimizing the need for expensive repairs or replacement.
