Chassis-Based Switches

D-Link’s DES-7200 series of chassis-based switches are intelligent and high-performance multi-layer LAN devices designed for enterprise campus and metropolitan area networks (MAN). They are ideal for deployment in environments where uninterrupted running of network applications and a high level of performance, security and control are required.

Featuring a flexible modular architecture and industry standard compliance, these switches provide scalable expansion and a high level of investment protection for businesses and telecom carriers to deploy Gigabit and 10-Gigabit packet switching and routing for office networking and Ethernet-based Internet services to the homes.

The DES-7200 series switches feature minimum or zero network downtime, robust security and real-time running of bandwidth-intensive applications. Equipped with high-speed switch fabrics, redundant backup/load sharing capability and advanced software functions including complete IPv6 support, these switches provide the performance, high availability and future-proof architecture suitable for applications of not just today but well into the future.
