Managed Gigabit fibre with10G uplinks and stacking
24×Gigabit SFP4×10G SFP+128Gbps fabricNon-PoE /two smart fans
The D-Link DGS-1530-28S/E is a Smart Managed fibre switch with24 Gigabit SFP slots and four10G SFP+ slots. VLANs, link aggregation, security controls and static routing support configured business networks. Physical stacking supports compatible multi-switch deployments. The non-PoE chassis has an internal AC supply and two smart fans.
Best For: Managed fibre aggregation and campus networks needing24 Gigabit SFP links,10G uplinks and an administrator-defined VLAN or stack design.
Before you order: This S model has24 SFP slots, not24 copper RJ45 ports. Its RJ45 connector is console management only. There is no PoE output. Buy compatible transceivers, fibre and DAC/stack cables separately and match speed, fibre type and link distance. Stacking consumes10G ports. Optional DPS-500A redundant power and its appropriate connection cable are separate. Two fans mean this is not a silent fanless desk 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
- Fit compatible Gigabit SFP modules for the24 downlinks;use the fourSFP+ slots for supported10G uplinks or 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
- No copper RJ45 network data ports are built in. The RJ45console is not a normal Ethernet client port.
- 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 there RJ45 network ports?
No. This model provides24 Gigabit SFP and four10G SFP+ slots. The RJ45connector is console management only.
Are transceivers included?
They are not listed in the supplied package. Select compatible optics or DACs separately.
Is it fanless?
No. This exact28S model has two smart fans.
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 SFP fibre 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.
