The Enterprise Gigabit Scaling model DGS-1210-52 is the flagship high-capacity solution for expanding medium-to-large business networks. If your organization is outgrowing its current infrastructure and requires a massive density of wired connections for workstations, VoIP systems, and Wi-Fi access points, this 52-port switch is the definitive choice. Specifically, it features 48 Gigabit 10/100/1000BASE-T ports and 4 Gigabit GbE/SFP combo ports. Consequently, you have the flexibility to use standard copper cabling or high-speed fiber-optic uplinks to connect across large office floors or multi-building campuses.

Advanced Control with Enterprise Gigabit Scaling

A primary USP of this hardware is its dual-purpose management philosophy. The DGS-1210-52 allows administrators to choose between a “Standard Mode” for traditional IT networking or a specialized “Surveillance Mode.” In surveillance mode, the interface automatically detects ONVIF-compliant cameras and segments them into a dedicated Auto Surveillance VLAN. Additionally, the device supports L2+ Static Routing. By handling inter-VLAN routing directly on the switch, it offloads significant processing tasks from your core router. Furthermore, the Enterprise Gigabit Scaling setup provides a non-blocking switching capacity of 104 Gbps. Therefore, it is the ideal hardware for high-traffic environments where data bottlenecks are not an option.

Carrier-Grade Security and Green Efficiency

This unit is fortified with the D-Link Safeguard Engine, which protects the network against malicious traffic flooding caused by virus outbreaks or DoS attacks. Because it supports 802.1X port-based authentication and Access Control Lists (ACLs), you can maintain total authority over who enters your network. Furthermore, the DGS-1210-52 utilizes D-Link Green 3.0 technology to significantly lower power consumption without sacrificing performance. It automatically powers down inactive ports and detects cable lengths to optimize energy output. As a result, this 52-port powerhouse remains one of the most eco-efficient high-density switches in its class.

Installing the DGS-1210-52 is effortless thanks to its 19-inch rackmount design and the D-Link Network Assistant (DNA) utility. Specifically, the device features smart fans that adjust their speed based on the internal temperature, ensuring the hardware stays cool and quiet during peak loads. Because it supports 10,000-byte Jumbo Frames and IGMP Snooping, it is perfectly suited for handling massive data packets and multicast video streams. Consequently, the DGS-1210-52 offers a scalable, secure, and future-proof foundation for any 2026 enterprise network.
