Long-Distance Transmission with Surge Protection With a connectivity range of 250 meters, the DES-F1006P-E is ideal for surveillance deployments, and compatible with Cat.5e or Cat.6 copper cable, while 6kV surge protection helps this device withstand power fluctuations and lightning strikes. Easy Deployment and PoE Convenience The DES-F1006P-E is a Plug-and-Play device that requires no configuration, so setup is simple and hassle-free. Easily connect multiple computers, share files, music, and video across your SOHO network, or even create a multiplayer gaming environment. 802.3x flow control on each port minimizes dropped packets when the port s receiving buffer is full, giving a more reliable connection for all connected devices. The DES-F1006P-E also features four 10/100BASE-TX ports that support the IEEE 802.3af/at Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) protocol, supplying 15W each. Diverse Operating Modes The DES-F1006P-E switch has three operating modes. The default mode has a transmission distance of 100 meters. VLAN mode prevents against DHCP deception, broadcast storms, and virus attacks. Extend mode supports an extra-long transmission distance of 250 meters at 10Mbps, and Quality-of-Service (QoS) mode customizes application priorities for uses such as Video.
