Metro Ethernet Switches

DGS-1210/ME Series

D-Link Metro Ethernet Switches are purpose-built for deployment in metropolitan area networks. With surge protection on Gigabit ports, dying gasp, Link OAM, and redundant power options on select models, they ensure rock solid Ethernet connectivity not always found in traditional network switches.

Why You Want It

Field-Proven Experience

Our Metro Ethernet Switches are designed based on field proven experience gleaned from multiple Ethernet deployments with Telecoms and Carriers.

Business Speed

Built for Carrier Ethernet

With support for Ethernet OAM (Operations, Administration and Maintenance), Double VLAN (Q-in-Q), QoS and triple-play services highly-demanded by Carrier Ethernet, the Metro Ethernet Switches are optimized for Ethernet-to-the-Home (ETTH) and Ethernet-to-the-Business (ETTB) services. 

Service Provider-Friendly

Metro Ethernet Switches come ready with Service Provider-friendly hardware, robust software and security features, OAM manageability functions and triple-play services.

What Businesses Say About Us

"When I joined the district about five years ago, the existing 3Com network was getting pretty old. I began replacing switches with D-Link switches, and they’ve proven very reliable. The availability was good and the price point was excellent. I had full confidence that the quality of D-Link cameras would be just as good."

Tom Cozzi, Technology Director, Blanco Independent School District (ISD)

“I have been working with D-Link for several years and what differentiates it from its competitors is the richness of its product range in terms of switches, cameras and recorders. This has enabled us to create our installations around a consistent product set. D-Link also provides a high standard of ongoing technical and sales support which enables us to maintain a relationship of trust at all levels in our work.”

Yacine Abdelouahab, Managing Director, Advancedge

“During two years of operation we did not experience any network issues or downtime. The solution we are using meets our needs and requirements. With D-Link switches we are fully satisfied.”


Mr. Lumír Žila, Director of Dobříš Centre of Applied Research (CAVD)
