10g-overview

Whether you are managing a small network with just a few 10G links, or a large multi-campus Enterprise network with 10G links throughout, D-Link has the right switch for you.

Copper or Fibre - Your Choice

10Gbps Ethernet is no longer restricted to fiber optic media only. Recent advancements in chip design have made 10GBASE-T (10Gbps over copper) more economical and easier to deploy than ever before. Direct Attach Copper (DAC) is also a popular choice, especially for shorter distance, latency sensitive applications.

Choose the solution that's right for your networking needs.

Media	Type	Distance	Switch Interface	Typical Latency	Typical Application
Copper	DAC (Twinax)	Up to 7m	SFP+	Better	Server/storage rack
	CAT-6	~ 30m	RJ-45	Good	SMB aggregation switching
	CAT-6a	Up to 100m
	CAT-7	Up to 100m
Fibre	MMF	Up to 400m	SFP+	Best	Campus network
Fibre	SMF	100km+	SFP+	Best	Campus network
