D-Link A/NZ Expands Industrial Switch Range to Power the Next Generation of Smart Infrastructure

D-Link ANZ has unveiled its expanded Industrial Switch Range, delivering enterprise-grade networking solutions purpose-built for Australia’s and New Zealand’s harshest operational environments.

From factory floors and transport networks to outdoor surveillance deployments and remote utility sites, the new range gives systems integrators, IT managers, and operations leaders the durability, speed, and intelligence they need. As a result, they can maintain mission-critical connectivity where standard enterprise equipment simply cannot survive.

The expanded portfolio comprises four new models: the flagship DIS-310G-24X Layer 3 Managed Switch, the smart-managed DIS-210G-12 and DIS-210G-12UP PoE switches, and the compact, cost-effective DIS-100E-05 entry-level model. Together, they span the full spectrum of industrial networking requirements, from high-density aggregation to simple edge connectivity.

As Australian and New Zealand industries accelerate digital transformation, edge networks are being pushed into environments they were never designed for. In these environments, extreme temperatures, electrical noise, vibration, and power surges are daily realities. This applies to manufacturing plants, mining operations, agricultural facilities, and outdoor CCTV deployments alike.

Consumer-grade and even standard commercial switches fail quickly in these conditions, causing costly downtime, data loss, and maintenance headaches. To address these pain points, D-Link’s Industrial Switch Range offers IP40-rated metal housings and fan-less thermal designs. It also delivers 6kV surge protection across all Ethernet ports, with operating temperature ratings from –40°C to +75°C.

DIS-310G-24X: Flagship Layer 3 Managed Switch

The flagship DIS-310G-24X is a 24-port Gigabit Industrial Managed Layer 3 Switch designed for larger-scale industrial networks that demand both high availability and advanced traffic management.

It features 16 x 10/100/1000BASE-T copper ports, 4 x Gigabit SFP fiber uplinks, and 4 x 10G SFP+ ports for high-speed backbone or aggregation connectivity. A compact 100 x 140 x 170 mm chassis packs in all of this, maximizing cabinet space.

DIS-310G-24X Key Features:

• Layer 3 management with advanced routing, security, and QoS functions
• 16 Gigabit copper + 4 Gigabit SFP + 4 x 10G SFP+ ports
• Fan-less design with ruggedized metal housing rated for –40°C to +75°C operation
• 6kV surge protection on all Ethernet ports
• DIN-rail clip and wall-mount options for fast deployment
• Loopback detection and cable diagnostics for rapid troubleshooting
• ERPS ring support for sub-50ms failover redundancy

For enterprise and government customers, deploying outdoor surveillance, smart transport networks, or large-scale industrial automation gets easier. The DIS-310G-24X delivers the performance of a data-center switch with the resilience of hardened infrastructure. Its 10G uplinks eliminate bandwidth bottlenecks when aggregating multiple high-definition camera streams or sensor arrays. Meanwhile, Layer 3 intelligence enables secure segmentation of operational-technology (OT) and information-technology (IT) traffic.

DIS-210G-12: Smart-Managed Switch for Mid-Sized Deployments

The DIS-210G-12 is a 12-port Gigabit Industrial Smart Managed Switch. It strikes the ideal balance between capability and simplicity for mid-sized deployments. It offers 8 x Gigabit copper ports plus 4 x SFP fiber uplinks and smart management via an intuitive web interface. In addition, ERPS ring protection keeps networks running even if a cable is severed.

DIS-210G-12 Key Features:

• 8 x 1000BASE-T + 4 x SFP Gigabit uplinks
• Web-based smart management, no command-line expertise required
• 6kV surge protection and IP40-rated metal housing
• –40°C to +75°C operating range
• ERPS ring topology for continuous monitoring and failover
• Fan-less, silent operation ideal for noise-sensitive environments

This switch is purpose-built for city surveillance projects, warehouse automation, and distributed building-management systems. Because of this combination of fiber uplinks and smart management, integrators can run long-distance links back to a central site. At the same time, they retain remote visibility and control over each edge switch. As a result, this reduces truck rolls and speeds up fault resolution.

DIS-210G-12UP: High-Power PoE for Remote Devices

The DIS-210G-12UP takes the smart-managed foundation of the DIS-210G-12 and adds High-Power PoE capability. This makes it the go-to switch for deployments that need to deliver both data and power over a single cable to remote devices.

DIS-210G-12UP Key Features:

• 8 x Gigabit ports: 6 x PoE+ (30W) and 2 x PoE++ (up to 60W per port)
• 4 x Gigabit SFP fiber uplinks for long-distance backhaul
• Total PoE budget supports multiple high-draw devices simultaneously
• IP40 housing, 6kV surge protection, and –40°C to +75°C rating
• ERPS ring support for uninterrupted surveillance and automation
• Ideal for PTZ cameras, access control, IP intercoms, and IoT gateways

The DIS-210G-12UP has two PoE++ ports capable of delivering 60W each. As a result, it can power the latest generation of pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) cameras, high-gain wireless access points, and door-entry systems. It does this without requiring separate power injectors or 240V outlets at every device location. For smart-building and safe-city projects, this slashes installation costs, reduces cable clutter, and simplifies maintenance.

DIS-100E-05: Budget-Friendly Entry-Level Switch

The DIS-100E-05 is a 5-port unmanaged industrial switch that proves hardened networking doesn’t have to break the budget. With five Fast Ethernet ports, a fan-less metal casing, and DIN-rail mounting, it delivers plug-and-play connectivity. This suits small sensor clusters, remote monitoring nodes, and legacy equipment retrofits.

DIS-100E-05 Key Features:

• 5 x 10/100BASE-T Fast Ethernet ports
• Unmanaged plug-and-play operation, zero configuration
• Fan-less, silent design with Energy-Efficient Ethernet (EEE)
• 6kV surge protection on all ports
• 12–55V DC dual-input terminal block for redundant power
• Metal housing, DIN-rail mount, –40°C to +75°C rated
• RRP under $150 makes hardened networking accessible to any budget

For agricultural sensor networks, remote telemetry cabinets, and small-scale automation projects, the DIS-100E-05 removes a common obstacle: the traditional cost barrier to industrial-grade reliability. Its EEE support reduces power draw during low-activity periods, while the dual DC input allows a redundant power supply to be connected for extra peace of mind.

Built for Uptime, Built for Budgets

D-Link’s expanded Industrial Switch Range is more than a product refresh. It is a toolkit that directly addresses the operational and financial pressures facing local industries today.

With 6kV surge protection, wide thermal ratings, and ERPS ring failover, these switches keep production lines, surveillance feeds, and control systems online. This holds true through electrical storms, summer heatwaves, and freezing winter nights. Less downtime means higher output, safer worksites, and lower emergency-repair costs.

Fan-less designs eliminate a common point of mechanical failure, reducing maintenance schedules and extending service life. PoE++ models cut installation costs by delivering power and data over one cable, while smart-management features allow remote diagnostics that stop minor issues from becoming major outages.

Whether a site needs five ports today or plans to scale to hundreds of cameras and sensors tomorrow, the range still offers a clear growth path. The DIS-310G-24X’s 10G uplinks and Layer 3 intelligence provide headroom for years of expansion. Meanwhile, the consistent management interface across models simplifies staff training and inventory planning.

Industrial-grade EMC endurance and safety certifications help organizations meet workplace health and safety obligations. This matters most in mining, energy, and heavy manufacturing, where regulations govern equipment reliability directly. Using purpose-built industrial switches demonstrates due diligence in risk management.
