Gigabit access with10G uplinks and stackable management
24×Gigabit RJ454×10G SFP+128Gbps fabricNon-PoE /smart fan
The D-Link DGS-1530-28/E is a Smart Managed switch with24 Gigabit copper ports and four10G SFP+ slots. It combines VLAN, link-aggregation, security and static-routing functions with physical stacking for supported multi-switch deployments. The non-PoE model uses an internal AC supply and one smart cooling fan.
Best For: Managed office and campus networks needing Gigabit access ports,10G uplinks and an administrator-defined VLAN or stacked-switch design.
Before you order: This exact model has no PoE output. Purchase compatible SFP/SFP+ modules, DACs or fiber separately and check the required link distance and speed. Stacking uses the10G ports, so reserve ports for it in the network design. An external redundant supply is optional and separate. The unit has a fan; it is not a silent fanless desktop switch.
What's in the Box
- DGS-1530 series switch, AC power cord and power-cord retainer set.
- RJ45-to-RS232 console cable, four adhesive rubber feet and mounting kit with two brackets and screws.
- Quick Installation Guide. Transceivers, fiber, DAC/stack cables, external redundant supply and network patch leads are separate.
What It Means in Practice
- Connect copper clients at10/100/1000Mbps;use the four SFP+ slots for compatible10G uplinks or supported stacking.
- Configure VLANs, LACP, spanning-tree, ACLs and QoS according to the actual network topology.
- Use web management, CLI or supported SNMP tools with an appropriate administrator configuration.
- Plan physical stacks with compatible models, firmware and cabling;ports allocated to stacking are unavailable for ordinary uplinks.
- Install on a desktop with the supplied feet or in a19-inch rack, allowing fan airflow and cable access.
What Will Not Work
- 24 copper Gigabit ports are not10G or2.5G copper interfaces. The10G interfaces are SFP+ slots.
- No PoE output;the DGS-1530-28P is a different model.
- Static IPv4/IPv6 routing is supported;this does not establish a full dynamic-routing feature set.
- Fabric and forwarding figures are manufacturer switching specifications, not a guaranteed end-to-end application throughput.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this switch power cameras or access points?
No. This non-PoE model provides data connectivity. Use a separate suitable power method for connected devices.
Are all28 ports Gigabit RJ45?
No. There are24 Gigabit RJ45 ports and four10G SFP+ slots. The RJ45console is a management connector.
Are transceivers included?
They are not listed in the supplied package. Select compatible optics or DACs separately.
Is it fanless?
No. The exact28 model has one smart fan;the smaller10/20 models have different cooling.
Does stacking leave every10G slot free?
No. Physical stacking consumes configured10G ports. Plan remaining uplink capacity and compatible cabling.
Singular Expert Insight
Count both access and uplink needs before ordering. Stacking and ordinary10G links draw from the same SFP+ port pool, and non-PoE access ports do not power attached equipment. Confirm the optics, firmware, network policies and rack location with the installer before rollout.
Buyer’s Guide
✓ Buy it if You need a managed24-Gigabit access switch with four10G SFP+ slots and supported stacking.
✕ Skip it if You need PoE output, all-copper10G, fanless operation or included optics and stack cables.
→ Also consider SFP+/DAC compatibility, stack topology, remaining uplink ports, device power, fan noise and optional redundancy.
