D-Link 10-Port PoE+ Gigabit Smart Managed Switch

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

For £89.90 ex-VAT, this D-Link 10-port PoE+ gigabit “smart managed” switch is a bit of a sweet spot for small offices and workshops that need PoE for a few devices without paying big-brand money. In day-to-day use, the main win is convenience: you can power access points, IP phones, or cameras cleanly over Ethernet and keep the cabling tidy. It’s the kind of switch I’d consider when you want sensible management features (not just plug-and-play) so you can keep traffic behaved and troubleshoot faster when something goes sideways.

That said, I wouldn’t buy it for a very busy or network-critical environment. At this price point, expectations should be modest: don’t treat it like an enterprise core switch, and you may find the feature set and management depth more “good enough” than “power user.” If you only need basic PoE to a couple of endpoints, you’ll probably get similar results from a simpler unmanaged unit and save more—so make sure you actually need the managed side. Overall: solid value for a small deployment where PoE+ and basic control matter, but not the right choice if you’re building a serious backbone or want headroom for lots of complex VLAN/routing work.
