When you order a Sophos license from us please make sure you include the license number or current hardware appliance serial number. Licenses generally take around 24 - 36 working hours to be issued after order.

In some instances you may find we show out of stock for certain hardware models. This is fairly normal and reflects the fact, often that we have to place what is called a back to back order. When you order with us, we order with Sophos and the unit is shipped in to the country. Please allow around 10 working days where we show as out of stock.

The D-Link DGS-1530-28SC is a 28-port Layer 2+ Smart Managed switch built for fibre-based business networks. It combines 20 Gigabit SFP ports, 4 SFP/RJ45 combo ports and 4 x 10G SFP+ uplinks, giving you 24 Gigabit SFP-capable downlinks plus high-speed uplink capacity. With physical stacking for up to nine units and advanced security and management tools, the DGS-1530-28SC suits Metro Ethernet, campus and large business deployments.

Key Features

• 24 Gigabit SFP ports (4 of which are SFP/RJ45 combo ports) plus 4 x 10G SFP+ uplink ports
• Physical stacking of up to 9 switches, with long-distance stacking over fibre supported and up to 80 Gbps of stacking bandwidth per device
• Supports a Redundant Power Supply (RPS) for improved resilience
• Zero-Touch Provisioning (ZTP) for simpler deployment
• Ethernet Ring Protection Switching (ERPS) for fast recovery from link failures
• 128 Gbps switching capacity and 95.24 Mpps maximum 64-byte packet forwarding rate
• Security tools including ACLs, D-Link Safeguard Engine, 802.1X access control, DHCP server screening, ARP spoofing prevention and DoS attack prevention
• QoS, VLAN (4K groups), IGMP snooping, link aggregation, Spanning Tree and jumbo frames up to 10,000 bytes
• Web-based GUI, command line interface, SNMP and cable diagnostics for straightforward management
• Energy-saving design: EEE compliant, D-Link Green and RoHS 6 compliant
• Desktop or 19-inch rack-mount installation (brackets included), with a built-in power supply and 2 smart fans

Intelligent Stacking for Resilience

Physical stacking lets multiple switches act as one, improving scalability and resilience. Traffic is rerouted automatically during failures, hot-swapping is supported, and master switch failover is seamless. Shortest-path forwarding and trunked ports further enhance bandwidth and reliability.

Technical Highlights

• Dimensions: 440 x 210 x 44 mm
• Weight: 3.15 kg
• Power input: 100 to 240 VAC, 50/60 Hz
• Operating temperature: -5 to 50 °C

Ideal for: IT managers, system integrators and organisations that need a fibre-ready, stackable access or aggregation switch for Metro Ethernet, campus and large business networks.

Compatible Products

Optional redundant power supply: D-Link DPS-500A (via DPS-CB150-2PS cable), as listed in the DGS-1530 Series hardware installation guide. Use with standard SFP and 10G SFP+ modules and cabling for fibre uplinks and downlinks.

FAQs

How many switches can be stacked?
Up to nine DGS-1530 series units can be physically stacked using the 10G ports.

How many SFP and SFP+ ports does the DGS-1530-28SC have?
It has 20 Gigabit SFP ports, 4 SFP/RJ45 combo ports and 4 x 10G SFP+ uplink ports.

Does this switch provide PoE?
No. The DGS-1530-28SC does not provide PoE; the DGS-1530-28P is the PoE+ model in the series.

Does it support a redundant power supply?
Yes, it supports an optional external Redundant Power Supply (RPS).

Can it be rack mounted?
Yes. It can be used on a desktop or installed in a 19-inch rack, with mounting brackets included.
